iGaming revenue is revenue generated by online casino products such as digital slots and table games under the issuer's product definition.

DraftKings reported $461.9M of iGaming revenue in Q2 2026, up 7.5%. Flutter reported $577M of U.S. iGaming revenue, up 14%.

iGaming revenue has different volume economics from sportsbook

Sportsbook analysis often starts with wager volume and realized hold. Flutter explicitly says it does not use stakes to track iGaming because online casino outcomes do not have the same sporting-result variability.

For iGaming, player scale and revenue are the more useful operating pair. Flutter said its Q2 U.S. growth was driven by a 14% increase in iGaming average monthly players.

Similar product labels still require scope checks

DraftKings and Flutter operate in different jurisdiction mixes and apply their own product and revenue classifications. DraftKings also reports a broad platform MUP measure, while Flutter provides product-category AMPs.

Keep iGaming revenue separate from sportsbook revenue and from other gaming revenue. Cross-company comparisons should align geography, acquisition effects, currency, and product scope before drawing conclusions.

Connect paying-user scale and monetization with sports wagering volume, sportsbook revenue and realized margin, iGaming revenue, and the structural, sports-result, and promotional drivers of sportsbook hold.

Where this concept fits
  • iGaming revenue and sportsbook margin bridgeCurrent relationship
    iGaming revenue is tracked separately from sports betting, while Flutter decomposes realized sportsbook margin into underlying structural margin, period sports-result effects, and promotional-spend effects. Those drivers explain hold movement without creating a standardized cross-operator margin formula.
  • Player scale and monetization
    Monthly Unique Payers measure DraftKings platform-level paying-user scale, ARPMUP measures average revenue across that payer base, and Flutter iGaming AMPs isolate product-category player activity under a different methodology. These user metrics are complementary but not standardized synonyms.
  • Sports volume, revenue, and realized margin
    DraftKings Sports Consumer Volume measures settled customer wagers or trades across Sportsbook and Prediction Markets, Sports Net Revenue Margin relates current sports revenue to that broader volume, and Flutter sportsbook revenue provides a cleaner sportsbook-only revenue view. Current DraftKings sports scope must not be treated as pure sportsbook handle or revenue.
