Flutter to cut up to 1,400 jobs amid UK tax pressures

Up to 1,400 jobs could be lost across Flutter Entertainment’s UK&I operations after the group announced plans to restructure its business. Tuesday’s announcement is in response to substantial increases in UK betting and gaming taxes announced in last year’s Autumn Budget. The company said the planned redundancies, which will be subject to consultation, will affect staff in Leeds and Dublin and include UK&I roles based in offshore hubs such as Porto and Cluj‑Napoca. A Flutter spokesperson said to iGB that job cuts can be expected “across every function” of the company.
