Flutter Reports 16% Increase in Q1 Revenue Despite Coronavirus Crisis
Flutter Entertainment has reported a 16% increase in its Q1 revenue despite a 46% hit to its sports segment since racing was suspended in the UK and Ireland.
“Following the widespread cancellation of sporting events, group revenues have been more resilient than we initially expected, helped by the continuation of horse racing in Australia and the US gaming continues to perform well across the group,” Peter Jackson, chief executive of Flutter Entertainment, said.
Until March 15, revenue in the sports segment of the business grew by 30%, but that dropped to a 13% increase when including the final two weeks of the quarter.
Overall revenue grew by 16% to £547m in Q1, after being on track to deliver a 29% increase until COVID-19 hit.
“The group performed very well in the period prior to the disruption to sporting events in mid-March. We delivered strong customer growth across each of our brands and benefited from favourable sports results across our sports books,” Jackson said.
He said the company’s £10 billion merger with Sky Bet owner Stars Group still “remains compelling.”
“While the current disruption is truly exceptional, it underlines the importance of product and geographic diversification,” he added.

Alberta
MediaTroopers lines up eight operator partners ahead of Alberta launch
MediaTroopers said it is preparing to launch in Alberta’s regulated gaming market on July 13, as Canada’s next regulated commercial gaming market opens.
The digital marketing and customer acquisition firm said it plans to enter Alberta alongside eight “premium operator” clients, which it said are also preparing for their own market entries. MediaTroopers did not name the operators.
The company said its Alberta offering will mirror its work in Ontario, including localized acquisition strategies, compliance-focused marketing, regional player education, and market-tailored performance campaigns.
MediaTroopers also said it has seen “strong interest” from Alberta players through pre-registration activity, without providing figures.
“Alberta represents an exciting next step for regulated iGaming in Canada, and Media Troopers is ready to support operators from day one,” said Shmulik Segal, CEO of Media Troopers. “Our experience in Ontario has given us a strong understanding of what it takes to enter a new Canadian market successfully, from compliance and localization to scalable player acquisition. With eight of our premium clients already preparing for launch and early pre-registration traction underway, we see Alberta as a market with tremendous potential.”

ICONIC21 launches live casino and RNG titles with Maxbet in Romania
Gravity Blackjack, Gravity Roulette and Grand Bonus Blackjack join Maxbet’s lobby, with more ICONIC21 content planned in coming weeks.
ICONIC21 has gone live with Maxbet in Romania, adding a selection of the supplier’s live casino and RNG titles to the operator’s platform. The companies said additional titles are scheduled to roll out in the coming weeks.
The initial live casino lineup includes Gravity Blackjack and Gravity Roulette from ICONIC21’s Gravity Series, alongside Grand Bonus Blackjack. ICONIC21 noted that Grand Bonus Blackjack was “recently recognized at the SBC Awards” for its progressive bonus system.
From ICONIC21’s RNG portfolio, Maxbet players now have access to Lightspeed, described by the supplier as a crash game, and Gravity Plinko. ICONIC21 said further portfolio adoption has already been confirmed for the coming weeks.
Alina Mihaela Popa, Chief Commercial Officer at ICONIC21, said: “We’ve put a lot of thought and effort into our growth in Romania, so launching with Maxbet is yet another milestone for us in the market. Maxbet is trusted and has a loyal community of players, so being included in their lineup will further increase our games’ popularity in the Romanian market.
What really stands out with this deal is that we’re continuing to lay the foundation for a lasting presence in Romania, with more launches on the way. ICONIC21 is becoming a familiar name for players and operators here, and collaborations like this are making it happen.”
Manuel Bauer, CEO at Maxbet, said: “There’s definitely interest among our community every time something new lands in the lobby, and ICONIC21’s games are already generating plenty of interest. Our players are quick to spot quality and innovation, and we’re confident these new additions will become favorites, especially with the multiplier mechanics ICONIC introduces. This partnership opens the door to even more exciting releases in the near future.”
