The European Gaming Q3 Meetup is taking place on the 9th of September, and we are inviting you to register for a very important edition of the virtual meetup series. Register for free
The draft agenda contains many important discussions and you can dive into quality content with the leading experts of the industry. Here are some of the topics and discussions in which you can take part:
- Regulation Outlook on 2021 in Europe (Netherlands, Germany, Italy and the Commission-mandated EU Expert Group on Gambling)
- Updates from the Iberian Peninsula (Spain, Portugal)
- Nordic Updates
- What are the challenges of the iGaming industry in 2021?
- User Retention Mechanics
“The gambling industry in Europe is under pressure by politics and it’s fueled by the ever-growing power which has been handed over to the governments during the pandemic. We are always carefully analyzing what are the topics that need to be discussed or put forward into the discussion to form opinions and possibly create results. Our Quarterly Meetup series is here to stay and we will continue to host them in the same format in the upcoming year,” stated Zoltán Tűndik, Co-Founder and Head of Business at Hipther Agency.
The first two editions of the meetup series already attracted +3k registrations and the interest around the meetups organized by Hipther Agency has increased by +500% in 2021
The team at Hipther Agency along with the Way Seers at European Gaming has designed a program that will satisfy all content needs for companies interested in updates from the EU/EEA/CIS and Balkan regions.
The meetup series and its success would not be possible without the support of Altenar, Play’n GO, Singular, All-in Global, Nordic Gambling and PLANZER LAW.
The aim of the quarterly virtual meetups is to increase access to quality information, but also provide an excellent opportunity to participate in engaging discussions between the industry stakeholders.
All through the year, you can tune in on quality discussions and meet up with the top names from the EU/EEA/CIS and Balkans via the European Gaming Quarterly Meetups, or with the North and Latin American gaming industry via the Gaming Americas Quarterly Meetups.
The strategic partners of the meetups are GameOn and Square In The Air.

All-Cash Transaction Unlocks Significant, Unrealized Value for Boyd Shareholders
Boyd, FanDuel Extend Market-Access Agreements through 2038
Boyd Gaming Corporation announced it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell the Company’s 5% equity interest in FanDuel Group to Flutter Entertainment plc for cash consideration of $1.755 billion.
The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2025, subject to regulatory approvals. The Company intends to use net proceeds to reduce debt.
Keith Smith, President and Chief Executive Officer of Boyd, said: “This transaction unlocks the tremendous unrealized value that our investment in FanDuel has created for our Company. As a result, we are in a significantly stronger financial position to continue executing our strategy of investing in our properties, pursuing growth opportunities, returning capital to our shareholders, and maintaining a strong balance sheet.”
In addition to purchasing Boyd’s equity interest in FanDuel, Boyd and FanDuel will terminate certain existing market-access agreements between the parties and enter into new agreements to provide, among other things, for an extended term through 2038. The agreements will also provide Boyd with a fixed fee per state from FanDuel’s mobile sports-betting operations in Iowa, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana and Pennsylvania, as well as FanDuel’s online casino operations in Pennsylvania, upon the close of this transaction. FanDuel will also continue to operate Boyd’s retail sportsbooks outside of Nevada through mid-2026, after which time Boyd will assume responsibility for these operations.
Under terms of the revised market-access agreements with FanDuel, the Company now expects its Online segment will generate $50 million to $55 million in operating income and Adjusted EBITDAR for the full year 2025, and approximately $30 million in 2026.
Smith added: “The partnership between Boyd and FanDuel has been a remarkable success for both companies. FanDuel has emerged as the nation’s clear leader in online sports-betting, while Boyd has been able to leverage this partnership to profitably participate in the rapid growth of sports betting across the country. It has been a privilege to work with the Flutter and FanDuel teams, and we look forward to supporting FanDuel’s continued growth and success through our market-access agreements across the country.”
Moelis & Company LLC served as exclusive financial advisor to Boyd Gaming on the transaction. Morrison & Foerster LLP served as legal advisor to Boyd Gaming on the transaction, with Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, LLP advising on the commercial agreements.
