Description
Flutter Entertainment, the world’s largest online sports betting and e-gaming Gaming operator, has announced plans to cut more than 200 jobs in Ireland and the UK as part of a strategy to unify its brands under a single tech platform.
Most of the affected roles are in the technology and product teams, with nearly all job cuts expected at the Leeds office and fewer than 10 positions impacted in Dublin, Ireland.
The decision comes amid rising operational costs and regulatory pressures. Consultations with staff are ongoing, and the company is exploring redeployment options where possible.
Founded in 2019, Flutter Entertainment operates in the UK, Ireland, the US, Canada, Australia, Italy, Romania, Georgia, the Netherlands, Portugal, and India. The company employs about 23,000 people worldwide.
Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
