Aside from the obvious benefit of access to a new customer case, Flutter will also be in a position to diversify its product range while adding further product capabilities and expertise.
In a statement released by Flutter, Chief Executive Peter Jackson said:
“As the world’s leading online gambling operator, Flutter is delighted to add Tombola, the UK’s premier bingo brand to the Group. Tombola is a business we have long admired for its product expertise, highly recreational customer base and focus on sustainable play.
The brand aligns closely with Flutter’s safer gambling strategy, a key area of focus for us. I am excited to combine Flutter’s digital marketing expertise with Tombola’s operational capabilities within the UK & Ireland division.”
Speaking of Tombola founder Phil Cronin, he added:
“As the time comes for Phil to hand over the reins, I would like to thank him for building the success story that the business is today, and I look forward to welcoming the Tombola team to Flutter and growing a sustainable business for the future together.”
