FDJ United has announced a €16m loss for the first half of the year, driven by declining lottery sales and increased taxation in Europe. Management has confirmed the implementation of new commercial strategies to address these financial challenges.
The group recorded gross gaming revenue of €4.31bn, representing a 1.3% decrease compared to the €4.38bn reported in the H1 2025 comparative period. Net revenues also fell by 4.5% to €1.78bn, down from €1.8bn during the same timeframe last year.
Market Challenges and Strategic Response
The financial decline stems primarily from softer performance in the lottery sector and a rise in gambling taxes across European markets. To counter these headwinds, company leadership is introducing mid-term commercial adjustments intended to provide a rapid resolution to current market difficulties.
