The organisation operates a diverse portfolio of well-known betting and gaming brands, including FanDuel, PokerStars, and Betfair, serving customers across multiple global markets. Its core business encompasses online sports betting, daily fantasy sports, online casino games, and poker platforms. Through these brands, Flutter provides a wide range of wagering products and services to retail and digital customers. The company's operational footprint is significant, leveraging established brand recognition to compete in the highly regulated global iGaming sector.

Flutter's activities place it within a tightly controlled industry subject to extensive licensing and compliance requirements.

In May 2023, Flutter was impacted by a major cybersecurity incident involving the Clop ransomware gang. The attackers exploited a zero-day vulnerability in the MOVEit secure file transfer software, a third-party tool used by Flutter. The company confirmed that data was accessed by the hackers during this breach. However, Flutter did not publicly specify the precise nature of the compromised information or confirm whether customer personal details were involved. This incident highlights the supply chain risk faced by large organisations that rely on external software vendors for critical data transfer operations. The breach was part of a widespread campaign targeting numerous entities using the vulnerable MOVEit platform. The event underscores the persistent threat of ransomware groups leveraging newly discovered software flaws to access sensitive data.
