The about 300 departures are included in the up to 1,400 layoff plan for the restructuring of the UK & Ireland division. The group blames the move on the significant increase in UK taxation within the industry.
“In Cluj, the proposed changes will affect approximately 300 colleagues,” the company said in a statement on October 20.
As of September 2026, Betfair Romania Development employed approximately 2,400 people, including permanent employees and contractors.
This proposed change is not a reflection of individual or team performance. It is intended to simplify organizational structures, create a more efficient operating model and strengthen execution of the Flutter UKI strategy, the company said.
Betfair Romania Development remains a strategic hub for Flutter, continuing to play an important role in supporting the group’s global technology and product capabilities, according to the statement.
