Flutter Entertainment is the largest gambling group operating in the UK by revenue. Its UK-facing casino brands run across two licensed entities — Sky Betting & Gaming and PPB Counterparty Services — which is why a Sky Vegas account and a Betfair account do not share a balance even though the same group owns both.
Flutter Entertainment plc — publicly listed (NYSE: FLUT), Dublin-headquartered. The parent company holds no UK Gambling Commission licence.

Shared infrastructure
What actually travels between these brands when you open a second account.
Wallet sharing
Within Sky Betting & Gaming, one balance covers Sky Bet, Sky Vegas, Sky Casino and Sky Bingo — a withdrawal request from any of them draws from the same pot. The Betfair and Paddy Power side shares its own single wallet. Money does not move between the two sides; you would need to withdraw and redeposit.
KYC and verification reuse
Documents you upload to Betfair are accepted by Paddy Power because both sit under the same licensed entity, so a second withdrawal is usually same-day. Moving from Sky Vegas to Betfair means a fresh ID and address check.
Shared limits and exclusions
Deposit limits, reality checks and account closures apply at entity level, not brand level. Setting a £100 monthly deposit limit on Sky Bet also caps Sky Vegas. Group-level responsible-gambling flags are shared across all Flutter UK brands.
Bonus eligibility
A welcome offer claimed on one brand does not block the welcome offer on the other entity, but duplicate-account rules mean you cannot hold two accounts on the same licence. Payment-method exclusions (typically Neteller and Skrill) are applied group-wide.
Publicly listed parent group (NYSE: FLUT) behind Sky Betting & Gaming, Betfair, Paddy Power and PokerStars. The parent company itself does not hold a UK Gambling Commission licence — its UK brands are licensed through separate operating entities.
