Flutter puts a stop to real-money games in India following an abrupt ruling to prohibit them, meaning it affects Junglee operations, forecasted revenues, and consumer assurances in the Indian gaming industry.
Flutter Entertainment plc, the worldwide powerhouse in online sports betting and online gaming, has suspended its real-money gaming business in India after the surprising developments in regulations. The Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Bill was introduced in Indian Parliament on August 20, 2025 and passed two days later, with no consultations with the industry. Since the law prohibits any real-money gambling products and even those that involve skills, Flutter was forced to immediately fold up its operation.
The company has made a disappointed note pointing out that it had expected to generate 200 million dollars of revenue in India and in 2025 the expectations are there that the revenue will be 200 million dollars with the adjusted EBITDA to be 50 million dollars. The move is on its Junglee business that employed more than 1,100 employees to provide innovative games products focused on consumer protections and responsible play.
CEO Peter Jackson lambasted the sudden regulation, which might force its users to adopt unregulated markets that do not contribute economically. Flutter has made the case for frameworks that safeguard consumers, and it is also seeking ways to reinstate consumer protection relationships in skill-based games in India.
The firm will equally analyze financial impacts such as possible impairments, which will be non-cash. The delay notwithstanding, Flutter doubled down on its efforts on regulated markets and responsible gaming across the world.
