Summary

Summary of the 8-K filed June 10, 2025. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.

Flutter Entertainment plc filed this Form 8-K on June 10, 2025 under Regulation FD (Item 7.01) to disclose a press release responding to the Illinois State legislature's decision to introduce a betting transaction fee on all sports wagers placed within the state from July 1, 2025.

The filing furnishes the press release as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporates it by reference. According to the press release, FanDuel, Flutter's US market-leading brand, will introduce a new $0.50a transaction fee on each bet placed on its platform in Illinois starting September 1, 2025. The company says this reflects a significant increase in the cost of operating in Illinois driven by the new fee, following a substantial increase in the Illinois betting tax rate in 2024, after which FanDuel made extensive efforts to absorb costs fully without impacting customers.

FanDuel will remove the $0.50b fee immediately should the state reverse its decision. CEO Peter Jackson said the Illinois fee will disproportionately affect lower-wagering recreational customers, penalize operators that have invested most in growing the regulated online market in the state, and likely push some Illinois customers toward unregulated operators that do not pay tax or collect the fee. The release also cites Flutter's fiscal 2024 global revenue of $14,048 million (up 19% year over year) and $3,665 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2025.
