Sharesave provides you with the opportunity to buy Flutter shares at a 25% discount. Save from as little as $20 a month straight from your net salary, for 12 months, and at the end you can decide to use your savings to buy Flutter shares at the discounted price or take your savings. The choice is entirely yours.
This is your chance to benefit as our company grows. Sharesave is open to all permanent and fixed-term colleagues, providing you joined us before 26 November 2024.

Sharesave in action
Let's look at a quick example to bring Sharesave to life:
Sharesave opened with a discounted share price set at $208.77.
Rick liked the flexibility and simplicity of it, so he joined and saved $60 a month.
After 12 months, Rick had saved $720.
By then, the Flutter share price had increased to $270.
Rick decided to use his savings to buy shares at the discounted price. With his $720, he can buy 3 Flutter shares ($720 ÷ $208.77 = 3 shares).
If he decides to sell his shares at the new Flutter share price, they will be worth $810 (3 shares x $270 per share). This would be a profit of $90 ($810 - $720), which is a gain of around 12%.
Rick wants to enjoy the benefits of being a shareholder, so decides to keep his shares, hoping his profit will grow further as Flutter grows.
Remember past performance is not necessarily a guide to future performance. The performance of investments is not guaranteed and the value of any investment can go down as well as up. You can withdraw your savings, in full, either during or at the end of Sharesave.
Estimate your Sharesave value
We know that life can be unpredictable, so it's good to know Sharesave can work for your personal circumstances. Use this calculator to see what Sharesave might look like for you – model different scenarios to help you make the right decision.
This calculator is for illustrative purposes only, as there are future variables that cannot be predicted.
Please refer to the information buttons throughout each section for further information.
This is your 'monthly savings amount' multiplied by 12 months
This is your 'total savings'.
The discounted price is set before each Sharesave period starts. This is our market share price at that time with a 25% discount applied.
You can only buy whole shares, not fractions of them, so the amount used to buy shares is often lower than the 'total amount available to buy shares'.
As it is only possible to buy whole shares, any left over amount that could not be used to buy a share will be returned to you.
This is the difference between the 'total amount available to buy shares' and the 'cost at discounted share price'.
This is the 'total amount available to buy shares' divided by the 'discounted share price' – rounded down to the nearest whole share.
We can't predict future share prices, so this model uses the current share price as a starting point.
You can adjust it higher or lower to see how any future changes in the share price may impact the potential value of your shares, should you choose to purchase them with your savings.
This is your 'total shares' multiplied by the 'current/estimated share price'.
This is the 'Estimated future value' minus the 'Cost at discounted share price'.
This amount may be subject to tax.
Q&A – Your questions answered
Sharesave is a savings plan that lets you put aside a fixed amount of money each month, directly from your net salary, for a set period of 12 months. At the end of the saving period, you can use your savings to buy Flutter shares at a discounted price, or you can just take your savings back if you prefer. It's a simple way to save money and potentially benefit if the company's share price goes up.
If you've heard of 'Save As You Earn (SAYE)' elsewhere, it's the same share plan as Sharesave, just an alternative name.
Put simply, a share plan is an opportunity for you to own part of the company you work for by buying shares.
There are different types of share plan with different features, and companies will choose the one that best suits the needs of their people and their business.
Sharesave is our chosen share plan offered across the Flutter family.
You can choose to save any amount between $20 and $530 a month.
Just remember, you can't take payment breaks savings period, or adjust your savings amount once the invitation period has closed.
This will be taken over 26 bi-weekly pay periods over the 12-month period.
The number of shares you can buy at the end depends on two things:
- How much you decide to save each month.
- The discounted price offered to you.
To see how many shares you could buy, try out our calculator.
It doesn't. Savings are made in USD, traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) therefore no FX conversion applies.
You'll be buying shares in Flutter Entertainment plc. These shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and traded in USD.
You can view our current share price and historical performance on our website.
Before each Sharesave period starts, we set a discounted price. This is the market price of a Flutter share at that time, with a 25% discount applied.
If, at the end of your Sharesave, the market price is higher than the discounted price, you can use your savings to buy shares at this discounted price. If the market price is lower, you can simply take back your savings instead.
No interest is paid during the savings period.
This depends on your location and your employing company:
- If you're a FanDuel employee the savings carrier is: Bank of America
- If you are employed by Flutter International, the savings carrier is: Flutter Treasury - Barclays Account
Absolutely! Your savings are fully protected during the saving period.
No. Once you've picked your monthly amount, you'll need to stick with it for the full 12 months.
No. But you can withdraw from the plan and get back the amount you have saved.
Yes, you can leave Sharesave at any time and take back all your savings.
To leave early, simply make a request through the EquatePlus platform.
Keep in mind that if you choose to leave early, you won't be able to buy shares at the discounted price.
You can easily view and manage your Sharesave on EquatePlus or the EquateMobile app.
If you lose your user ID or forget your password, just go to the EquatePlus login page and follow the on-screen prompts.
For any other access issues, contact Computershare for assistance.
If you change your name or address, simply update your details in your local HR system, and the information will be automatically sent to Computershare.
If you go on long-term leave (family leave, extended sickness, or a career break) and your pay is still more than your monthly savings amount, your savings will continue automatically.
To keep saving, please read the standing orders FAQ under the 'Resources' section.
You can still buy shares at the discounted price if you:
- Complete all your payments while on leave.
- Return to work after your leave.
- Leave Flutter provided it's been more than 12 months since you started Sharesave
If you don't return to Flutter after your leave, you can cancel your Sharesave and get all your savings back.
We'll be sad to see you go but if you leave Flutter you'll always get back the money you have saved.
If the reason you're leaving us is because you're retiring at the specified age, are in ill health or have been made redundant, you can choose to continue saving for up tp six months if you want to. Then you can either get your savings back or buy a reduced number of shares at the discounted price.
If you resign or leave for any other reason not covered above, your opportunity to buy Flutter shares will lapse. However, you can continue to save to the end of your savings contract and take back your savings or, alternatively, you can stop saving and get all your money back.
Once you've left Flutter you'll receive a notification to view details on EquatePlus, setting out the choices available to you.
If you move to another company within the Flutter family, you can continue saving (subject to any local restrictions), but you'll need to set up a standing order to keep your savings going. Please see the guide under the 'Resources' section called 'Sharesave Relocation Transfer Continuation of Payment guide'.
If you move internationally, the local tax rules in that country will apply to any Sharesave profit, and this will be discussed with you at the time.
It's not easy to think about, but if you pass away while saving in Sharesave, your contributions will stop automatically. Your personal representative can then choose to:
- Take back your savings in full.
- Use the savings to buy discounted shares within 12 months of the date of death or by the end of Sharesave, whichever comes first.
It doesn't. Savings are made in USD, traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) therefore no FX conversion applies.
When you finish saving into Sharesave, you then have two months to decide what to do:
- Buy shares: use your savings and to buy Flutter shares at the discounted price set at the start of Sharesave; or
- Take your savings back: withdraw all your savings as cash.
If you withdraw your savings but change your mind, your option to buy shares stays valid for the rest of the two-month window. Just contact Computershare to return your savings, and they'll update your account.
If you buy the shares, they're yours to:
- Keep and become a Flutter shareholder
- Sell the shares immediately and take the proceeds.
If you decide to buy and immediately sell your shares, the cash amount you receive will depend on the Flutter share price at the time you request to buy the shares. Since the share price can go up or down during these two months, you'll need to decide when the best time is for you to take action. The more the share price has increased from the discounted price (set at a 25% discount) at the start of Sharesave, the bigger your cash gain will be.
Remember to make your choice within two months of finishing your savings, which you can do on EquatePlus.
Tax will be payable if you decide to purchase shares and on any subsequent sale of those shares.
Please refer to the tax guide in the 'Resources' section for more information.
It doesn't. Savings are made in USD, traded on the NYSE therefore no FX conversion applies.
Your decision depends on your personal circumstances and the share price at the time. Here are some possible outcomes:
- Share price increases: If the price goes up while you're saving, you benefit from the 25% discount plus any increase.
- Share price decreases by less than 25%: You still get a discount, but it will be less than 25%.
- Share price decreases by more than 25%: If the share price drops significantly, you'd be paying more than the shares are worth.
Remember, share prices can fluctuate, and any profit when selling shares may be subject to tax.

- Savings amount
-
The amount you choose to save each month, between $20 and $530.
- Savings period
-
The length of time you save for – 12 months.
- Share option
-
This gives you the right to buy a set number of Flutter shares at a fixed discounted price once you've finished saving. It's called an 'option' because it's your choice: you can either buy the shares or take back your savings.
- Option price
-
The fixed price each year is set with a 25% discount on the market value just before the joining window opens. This is the price at which you'll have the option to buy shares once your savings period is complete.
- Invitation period
-
The time each year when eligible employees can join Sharesave – usually about 14 days. You need to apply during this window or wait until next year.
- Grant date
-
The date after the joining window closes when applications to join Sharesave are officially accepted and confirmed.
- Maturity date
-
The date when your three-year savings period ends, and your chance to buy the shares at the discounted price begins – you have 6 months to decide from this date.
- Exercise / Exercise window
-
'Exercise' means making a request to buy shares. The exercise window is the 2 month period in which you can decide to buy shares at the discounted price or take back your savings.
