FDJ UNITED, a leader in lottery, betting and gaming in Europe, has hailed a ‘buoyant performance by the French lottery and retail sports betting’ sectors during the first half of the year with revenue of €1,290m, up four per cent.
Lottery revenue rose by six per cent to €1,065m with strong performance to the whole range of games and all distribution channels, particularly digital, which rose by 16 per cent to €160m.
Point-of-sale sports betting revenue fell by six per cent to €225m. This change reflects unfavourable sports results for the operator, despite stakes boosted by an attractive football offering, which was up four per cent.
This change reflects a very unfavourable 2024 comparison base, due in particular to the Euro football tournament, as well as tax and regulatory impacts in 2025, particularly in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. Excluding these two markets, revenue would be up five per cent thanks to the performance of other countries, including France.
Stéphane Pallez, Chairwoman and Chief Executive Officer of FDJ UNITED, said: “2025 stands as a transition year for FDJ UNITED, with the integration of Kindred well on track. In this context, our first-half performance is in line with the expected full-year trajectory. Besides, we are pleased by the success of the employee share ownership plan launched by the Group, reflecting our long tradition of sharing FDJ UNITED’s value creation with all stakeholders.”
