<p>都柏林，8 月 13 日（路透社）- Flutter（FLTRF.L）在第二季度表现远超预期后提高了全年指引，并表示不会向高税收的美国州的客户收取附加费，此后竞争对手博彩公司 DraftKings（DKNG.O）也很快宣布放弃了这一计划。</p>
<p>Flutter 在美国的股票（FLUT.N）在世界上最大的在线博彩公司表示预计全年核心利润将超过之前预测的约 30% 后，在盘后交易中上涨了 11%。</p>
<p>这家总部位于都柏林的集团，旗下品牌还包括英国的 Paddy Power 和 Betfair 以及澳大利亚的 Sportsbet，表示第二季度调整后的核心利润增长了 17%。</p>
<p>Flutter 的美国 FanDuel 品牌和 DraftKings 是美国市场中最大的两家公司，占据了约 70% 的市场份额，投资者密切关注 Flutter 对 DraftKings 在 8 月 2 日宣布的附加费的回应。</p>
<p>当时，DraftKings 的首席执行官将这些计划与酒店或出租车行业的类似收费进行了比较，并希望这将抵消在纽约等州运营的成本，这些州对赌博收入征税率为 51%。</p>
<p>“我们一直倾听客户的意见，经过听取他们的反馈后，我们决定不继续推进游戏税附加费，” DraftKings 在 Flutter 发布财报后发布的一份声明中表示。</p>
<p>尽管分析师表示 DraftKings 的计划可能会提高现金流，但他们警告称，如果竞争对手不效仿，也可能面临失去市场份额的风险。这项费用将适用于目前对赌博收入征税率为 20% 或更高的四个州的客户赢利。</p>
<p>Flutter 首席执行官彼得·杰克逊表示，根据其在更成熟的欧洲市场的经验，对于更高的税收，最佳应对措施是削减本地营销或调整客户优惠，正如该公司计划应对伊利诺伊州最近的税收上涨所做的那样。</p>
<p>Flutter 周二表示，预计在市场领先的 FanDuel 全年核心利润将达到 6.8 亿至 8 亿美元，而今年 3 月和去年的预期分别为 6.35 亿至 7.85 亿美元和 1.67 亿美元，去年是该快速增长市场上的首个完整盈利年。</p>
<p>现在在其包括英国和澳大利亚在内的其他全球市场预计核心利润为 16.9 亿至 18.5 亿美元。与先前预测的 16.3 亿至 18.3 亿美元相比。</p>

<p>Flutter，FanDuel 的所有者，提高了全年指引，并宣布不会对高税收的美国州的客户收取额外费用。结果，竞争对手博彩公司 DraftKings 也放弃了对客户收取额外费用的计划。Flutter 的第二季度收益超出预期，导致其美国股票上涨了 11%。该公司预计将超过全年核心利润的先前预测。Flutter 对 DraftKings 的额外费用计划的回应受到投资者的密切关注</p>

</div><p>DUBLIN, Aug 13 (Reuters) - Flutter (FLTRF.L) raised its full-year guidance after a much better than expected second quarter and said it would not hit customers with a surcharge in high-tax U.S. states, shortly after which rival betting firm DraftKings (DKNG.O) dropped plans to do so.</p>
