(Adds details on U.S. listing plans, background)
Feb 14 (Reuters) - World's top online betting firm
Flutter Entertainment Plc said on Tuesday it would
start consulting shareholders for a U.S. listing.
The London-listed company's plan for a listing in the United
States comes at a time when its market-leading U.S. FanDuel
business has become the group's largest in revenue terms.
"The board has reached a preliminary view that an additional
U.S. listing of Flutter's ordinary shares will yield a number of
long-term strategic and capital market benefits," the company
said in a statement.
Flutter said the benefits of the additional listing include
access to much deeper capital markets and important U.S.
indices.
The Dublin-based group said it expected to start shareholder
consultation immediately and in the event of broad support from
shareholders and this step would take precedence over any plans
to list a small stake in FanDuel.
