FanDuel has conducted its third round of layoffs in less than a year, cutting several hundred employees across software engineering, customer service and business development. The cuts affected staff at various levels, including long-serving managers and employees who joined when FanDuel was a daily fantasy sports company. The sportsbook, owned by Flutter Entertainment, employs approximately 5,000 people, suggesting the layoffs represent 5% to 10% of its workforce. Previous rounds occurred in November and March, when FanDuel announced it would sunset its TV network, affecting over 100 employees. CEO Amy Howe departed in May after five years. A FanDuel spokesperson confirmed the restructuring aims to keep the company "agile, focused, and well-positioned" whilst executing its long-term strategy. The cuts reflect broader challenges facing gambling operators, including prediction market competition and pressure to improve profitability.

Flutter's decision to merge PokerStars with FanDuel and introduce interstate pooling across New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Michigan has delivered a significant revenue boost in April, the first full month following the 1 April transition. In Pennsylvania, FanDuel's poker revenue reached $1,034,096 in April, a 47.8% increase over the January-March average. New Jersey saw an even larger jump, with revenue of $769,600 representing a 58% increase over the prior three months, reclaiming the top position from WSOP Online. The move reversed negative year-over-year trends in both states. New Jersey's total online poker revenue rose 11.4% compared to April 2025, whilst Pennsylvania increased 9.7%. However, May's figures will reveal whether this growth stems from promotional offers or represents sustainable interest.

Pennsylvania has approved funding to deploy Almond Digital, a gambling harm prevention platform, with FanDuel becoming the first operator to integrate it directly into its responsible gaming programme for Pennsylvania users. The initiative provides no-cost, multilingual, anonymous support for individuals experiencing gambling-related harm. Almond will function as a digital front door, connecting users to licensed in-state treatment providers whilst offering early intervention before financial or mental health consequences escalate. National data show many individuals with gambling-related harm never seek formal treatment. Almond aims to reach this population privately and without stigma, operating within the regulated online gaming environment. The rollout will begin over the coming weeks in partnership with sports wagering services and Pennsylvania universities, representing a coordinated public-private model for consumer protection.
