Flutter to Shut Down Betfair in Italy Amid Gambling Framework Changes


Flutter has confirmed its plans to wind down the operations of its Betfair brand in Italy. The parent company acknowledged that operating Betfair in the country has become commercially unviable and, as a result, will shutter Betfair Exchange, Casino and Sportsbook.

Flutter revealed that only Betfair will be impacted, and its other brands will continue to operate normally. The company acknowledged that changes to the gambling framework in the European country from November 2025 are what led to the decision to shutter its Betfair brand there.
