Flutter continues to give to good causes and takes millions of bets, but its share price is on a downward trajectory.

Key Facts:

• Flutter’s Paddy Power gives another £1.12m to Prostate Cancer UK following the World Darts Championship.
• Flutter firms took 17.7 million bets and handled $470 million in 2025 Super Bowl wagers.
• Last year, 13 million bets were taken on the world-famous steeplechase Grand National.
• Flutter’s share price has fallen almost 39% in the past five months.

Flutter Entertainment, parent company of well-known betting brands Paddy Power, PokerStars, Tombola and Betfair, has made a £1.127 million donation to Prostate Cancer UK in 2026. The gift was part of Paddy Power’s ‘Even Bigger 180′ campaign, a feature of its sponsorship of the World Darts Championship.

Since becoming the headline sponsor of Darts’ £5 million competition in December 2023, the online bookmaker has pledged more than £3.25 million to support Prostate Cancer UK’s research. The bulk of the charity donations have come from 180 scores registered during the event. They have earned the cause £1,000 apiece.

For Flutter, an organisation that describes itself as “the world’s #1 online sports betting and gaming operator,” the World Darts Championship represented its first major betting event of 2026 – as outlined in a recent company blog titled Moments That Defined the Year, which outlined 2025’s highlights.

Super Grand National Comes Second in Betting Stakes

The blog, published on Flutter’s corporate website, suggests that Super Bowl LX, scheduled for February 8 at California’s Levi’s Stadium, will be the New York Stock Exchange-listed company’s next big day.

Last year, when the Philadelphia Eagles edged past the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans, Flutter reports it facilitated 17.7 million bets and handled $470 million in wagers. At its peak, 70,000 bets per minute were placed with its various companies.

Whereas rival betting giant, Entain, declared the Grand National to be its top betting event of 2025, jump racing’s biggest spectacle played second fiddle at Flutter. It stated that its betting brands took 13 million bets on the world-famous steeplechase.

Wimbledon Tennis and Kentucky Derby Set New Records

Rushing through an “eventful summer”, Flutter’s blog reports: “Carlos Alcaraz delivered a phenomenal performance, lifting the French Tennis Open trophy after an epic final, while the women’s tournament set its own records.”

“In the U.S., the Kentucky Derby became the most active racing day in our history. Wimbledon quickly surpassed Roland Garros to deliver Flutter’s biggest tennis event ever, and the Women’s Euros delighted tens of thousands of happy punters who backed the Lionesses to lift the trophy.”

The first-ever NFL regular season game in Ireland – played at Dublin’s Croke Park in September – received a special mention. Paddy Power was the new Official Sportsbook Partner of the National Football League for the 2025 season in the UK and Ireland.

Later, referencing Australia, Flutter stated: “The Caulfield Cup signalled a generational shift, with a third of customers under 25, while the Melbourne Cup followed with its familiar drama, with betting peaking at 70,000 wagers a minute.”

Product Upgrades and Share Price Downgrades

“Behind the headline moments sat months of steady, often unseen work. Product upgrades, platform integrations and transformation programs moved forward across regions. Strategic deals reshaped the business,” Flutter added to its blog in closing.

Despite the impressive figures, Flutter has been a loser in the stock market stakes. With its>shares currently trading at $188.5, the company has lost 30% of its value over the past 12 months. Flutter’s 2025 share price peaked at $308.6 in August. Since then, almost 39% of its value has vanished.
