Flutter CEO Peter Jackson Signals Bid Interest in Italy’s Main Lottery Licence
Flutter Entertainment chief executive officer (CEO) Peter Jackson has signalled an interest in potentially pursuing a €1 billion-plus bid for Italy’s main lottery licence, as the current contract with fellow gambling giant International Game Technology (IGT) expires in 12 months’ time.
Jackson reportedly told The Irish Times that Flutter was interested in making a bid for the lottery licence mainly so it could direct customers to its online gambling offerings. The newspaper reported that the CEO said Flutter was bypassing Italy’s ban on the advertising of online gambling by cross-selling through its lottery licence by providing scannable links on the backs of lottery tickets.
“We don’t have to, but if it makes economic sense, we’ll do it,” Jackson said when asked if Flutter would bid for the Italian lottery licence.
The main Italian lottery has been run by International Game Technology (IGT), previously Lottomatica Holdings, for three decades via its Lotterie Nazionali and Lotto Italia subsidiaries. The current contract expires in 12 months’ time, and the Italian government is to launch a bidding process for a new nine-year licence. The minimum tender has been set at €1bn, payable in installments.
Flutter, the parent of Paddy Power, Betfair and the fast-growing US brand FanDuel, reported that its revenues grew by 27% in the third quarter to $3.25 billion, to beat the consensus estimate of analysts by almost $150 million. Adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (Ebitda) soared 74% to $450 million.

Estadio Gana Launches in Mexico

Mobile Streams Plc (MOS) has announced that, following a successful testing phase, its online casino and sportsbook—formerly known as Bet—has officially launched in Mexico under the name Estadio Gana. This platform provides Mexican sports fans with the latest global sports news, live match updates, and the opportunity to place bets, offering both a Sports Book and Casino experience. Designed with Mexico’s sports and gaming community in mind, Estadio Gana aims to deliver a dynamic and engaging experience for users looking to explore both betting and gaming options.
This launch marks an important step into Mexico’s rapidly expanding sports betting market. With projections indicating the industry could reach US$11.47 billion by the end of 2025, and potential growth of up to 70% by 2028, the timing aligns well with the country’s passion for sports and the upcoming co-hosting of the FIFA World Cup in 2026.
“We’re excited to reach this milestone with our partners in Mexico and abroad. The launch of Estadio Gana is just the beginning, and we look forward to its continued growth,” said Mark Epstein, CEO of Mobile Streams.
“We are excited about the future of Estadio Gana and look forward to continuing our partnership with MOS as we navigate the opportunities ahead in Mexico’s growing gaming market. With the World Cup approaching, we see great potential for continued growth,” Carlos Gomez, CEO of Estadio Gana, said.
