Flutter Unit Illegally Collected Gambler’s Data, Court Rules

A unit of Fanduel-owner Flutter Entertainment Plc illegally collected the data of a gambling-addicted customer to profile him for marketing purposes online, a London judge ruled.

Bonne Terre Ltd., operating as Sky Betting and Gaming, breached UK data protection law when it collected the anonymous claimant’s data through cookies without sufficient consent and used it to send personalized direct marketing messages between 2017 and 2019, according to a High Court judgment on Thursday.
