Flutter Donates Over €285,000 to Charity Partner Spinal Injuries Ireland at Dublin Charity Ball
Flutter hosted its second Charity Ball in Dublin last week, raising over €285,000 for Spinal Injuries Ireland – Ireland’s only dedicated support service for people living with a spinal cord injury. The money raised – of which €100,000 was matched by Flutter UKI – will be transformational in the charity’s efforts to provide more services across the country.
Founded in 1994, Spinal Injuries Ireland’s mission is to engage with people with a spinal cord injury, along with their family members. Together, they address barriers to full participation in society and empower their service users to work towards achieving personal, social and vocational goals.
Hosted by Irish stand-up comedian and presenter, Doireann Garrihy and Paddy Power himself, over 400 attendees at Dublin’s Mansion House generously contributed to fundraising efforts through an array of activities including a Mascot Race, Silent Auction, Golden Envelopes, Spin Wheel, Bingo and a raffle. Attendees also heard speeches from the team at Spinal Injuries Ireland and Flutter’s CLO and Group Commercial Director, Padraig O’Riordain.
The Charity Ball showcases Flutter’s pledge to Do More for its communities, as part of its global sustainability strategy, the Positive Impact Plan. The goal of Do More is to improve the lives of 10 million people by 2030, which is made possible by Flutter’s scale and the collective passion of its colleagues.
Phil O’ Kelly, Head of Fundraising at Spinal Injuries Ireland, said: “We are profoundly grateful to the team at Flutter and to everyone who attended the Flutter Ball for their incredible generosity and support. The event was not only a wonderful celebration but also a monumental success.
“Thanks to the astonishing amount of funds raised, we are now able to offer peer-to-peer support and counselling to every individual with a spinal cord injury in Ireland who needs it, for the next two years.
“This is an extraordinary achievement, one that will create a lasting and deeply positive impact on the spinal cord injury community in Ireland. From the bottom of our hearts, a sincere thank you to Flutter for your unwavering support and all you have done for Spinal Injuries Ireland this year.”
Pádraig Ó Ríordáin, CLO and Group Commercial Director at Flutter, said: “Last week’s Charity Ball held in The Mansion House, Dublin in aid of Spinal Injuries Ireland was a tremendous success. It was a true pleasure to undertake fundraising for this wonderful charity which provides an essential service in Ireland.
“We are grateful for the generosity of our guests and donors who collectively helped us to more than double our original fundraising target. The success of this event underlines Flutter’s commitment to the communities in which we work. This is a fundamental objective of Flutter’s Positive Impact Plan.”

QiH Group CEO Jamie Walters supports London move for iGB L!VE and iGB Affiliate Awards
As the international igaming industry prepares for the July 2025 relocation of iGB L!VE to London, show organisers have received another endorsement of the decision to pair the industry’s fastest growing Tier 1 online gaming expo with the iGB Affiliate Awards – the most respected celebration of excellence on the industry calendar.
Following on from the announcement by Richard Moffat, Chief Executive of OLBG, that the company would be supporting iGB L!VE and the iGB Affiliate Awards with its “biggest ever presence at a conference” Jamie Walters, CEO of QiH Group confirmed his support, stating: “Since QiH entered the iGaming affiliate marketplace a decade ago, industry awards and events have been a huge part of our success as a company – both in making meaningful and lasting connections and in discovering new and inventive industry game-changers.
“While Barcelona is a fine city with many merits, I think the continuity provided by the iGB Affiliate Awards remaining in London and running alongside iGB L!VE will maintain the consistent prestige attached to the event. We look forward to attending and seeing everyone there!”
Naomi Barton, iGB Events’ Global Portfolio Director, said: “The decision to run the Awards as part of the iGB L!VE experience was made in collaboration with key igaming and affiliate stakeholders, and I am delighted that it has been so warmly welcomed by the affiliate community.”
She added: “iGB L!VE’s relocation to London, a city that many regard as being the most influential market in the igaming industry,
will provide visitors and exhibitors with access to new markets, new growth opportunities and new partnerships.
“With an industry that’s growing at an exponential rate it’s imperative that we scale ahead of the market. By moving iGB L!VE and the iGB Affiliate Awards to ExCeL London we will be able to attract more of the people who are most critical to the future development of the igaming industry.”
