Flutter Entertainment traces its origins to 1997 with the founding of Paddy Power, an Irish bookmaker and online gambling operator. Paddy Power established itself as a major player in the Irish and UK gambling markets, known for its distinctive branding and marketing approach. The company expanded into online gambling, recognizing the growth potential of digital platforms.

In 2016, Paddy Power merged with Betfair, a major online betting exchange platform, to form Flutter Entertainment. This merger created one of the world's largest online gambling companies, combining Paddy Power's sports betting expertise with Betfair's betting exchange technology. The combined company was listed on the London Stock Exchange and later on the New York Stock Exchange.

Following the merger, Flutter Entertainment expanded its portfolio through acquisitions and organic growth. The company acquired FanDuel, a leading daily fantasy sports and sports betting platform in the United States, significantly expanding its North American presence. Flutter also acquired PokerStars, one of the world's largest online poker platforms, further diversifying its gambling offerings.

Throughout the 2010s and 2020s, Flutter Entertainment has continued to expand globally, entering new markets and acquiring complementary businesses. The company acquired Stake, a cryptocurrency-friendly online gambling platform, to expand its offerings in emerging markets and attract tech-savvy users. Flutter has also expanded its sports betting, casino, and poker operations across multiple jurisdictions.
