FanDuel Group’s Sustainability Aligned with Flutter Entertainment’s Positive Impact Plan

As part of the Flutter Entertainment family, FanDuel Group aligns its sustainability efforts with the parent company’s Positive Impact Plan. Launched in February 2022, the plan encompasses various initiatives that aim to support customers, staff, and the public in areas such as safer gambling, diversity and inclusion, community initiatives, and environmental impact.

The appointment of Kutler comes after FanDuel’s recent initiatives in responsible gaming, including the celebration of the 20th anniversary of Problem Gambling Awareness Month, launched in March and a series of new measures introduced in September to coincide with the American Gaming Association’s Responsible Gaming Education Month.

The partnership aims to offer a variety of betting options for CFL fans while prioritizing responsible and sustainable gambling practices, and it also benefits from FanDuel’s existing partnership with TSN, the broadcaster for CFL games.
