Paddy Power Owner Flutter Threatens to Quit London Stock Exchange for Good

Thursday May 7, 2026 (9:32 pm EDT)

The gambling giant behind Paddy Power and Betfair has threatened to ditch the London Stock Exchange in a fresh blow to the City.  Dublin-headquartered Flutter on Thursday revealed it had launched a review of its listing on London’s main market which could see it leave the exchange for good.  The gambling group said it expects to complete its review by the end of June and will make a final decision shortly after.  Flutter’s threat to leave London for good now poses a fresh setback for the troubled exchange, which is also struggling to attract new listings.  The company’s move to New York in 2024 followed its rapid expansion in the US through the acquisition of sports betting company FanDuel as it sought to capitalise on a loosening of gambling laws in America.

Preakness Stakes queries were beginning to roll in as BetOnline released odds and we received confirmation that Kentucky Derby winner Golden Tempo will not be racing in the second leg of the Triple Crown.   Three of the top 11 queries were Preakness Stakes related.  We should note there were not a significant number of impressions for the rather generic terms "preakness stakes" and "preakness odds".   Even "preakness" was seeing a total of 100 impressions over the last 24 hours. This is not the greatest sign for the upcoming race.  Detroit Red Wings and Sandro Tonali search queries were also pretty solid here at G911.  Our soccer coverage overall at Gambling911.com is expanding due to such increased popularity, so stay tuned.

Police Arrest 11 People in Maple Ridge, British Columbia Gambling House Investigation

May 7, 2026 (8:12 pm EDT)

Police have busted an alleged illegal gambling house in Maple Ridge, seizing a poker paraphernalia, cash, and a firearm.  As a result of a six-month investigation and searches by multiple police teams 11 people were arrested.  In November 2025, the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of British Columbia’s (CFSEU-BC) Joint Illegal Gaming Investigation Team (JIGIT) started an investigation into the suspected gaming house.   “Illegal gaming houses are not harmless operations – they are often tied to organized crime and bring significant risks to public safety,” said Sgt. Sarbjit K. Sangha, police media relations officer. “These locations can become hubs for violence, exploitation, and other criminal activity, putting both patrons and surrounding communities in danger.”
