CEO of Flutter UK & Ireland, Conor Grant, discussed his company’s first pillar of its five-pillar Safer gambling strategy that it presented in February of this Year.
Flutter’s Safer Gambling strategy that works alongside its global Play Well strategy, is the “culmination of many months of hard work, bringing together the best from across our existing businesses and challenging areas where we need to go further,” the CEO notes.
When it comes to the first core pillar of Flutter’s new strategy, Discover, Grant details how “proactively advancing the industry’s understanding of gambling harm towards prevention” is key.

“In 2021 over 2,000 customers self-assessed their gambling behaviour over a 12-month period. This provided us with valuable insights based on customers own reflections of their relationship with gambling.
