FanDuel parent Flutter came out swinging Thursday, insisting the online gaming platform is the market leader in sports betting in the United States after DraftKings last week boasted it had taken over the top slot.
“We have a billion dollars more in revenue in the U.S., so we’re very clearly number one,” Flutter CEO Peter Jackson said in an interview with CNBC after an earnings conference call.
