Flutter Entertainment, owner of betting giants including Betfair and Paddy Power, is preparing to list in the US as early as this year. The firm made the announcement as US and UK punters help drive its revenue up 38 per cent for the first half of 2024. Shares dropped over 3.5 per cent when the market opened.

Betfair has launched an integrated campaign featuring British actor Clive Owen, which marks the brand's return to marketing its Betfair Exchange.
