We operate our own unbeatable portfolio of diverse proprietary brands such as Betfair, Paddy Power, PokerStars, Sky Bet, Sky Gaming, FanDuel, Sportsbet or Betnacional.

We challenge norms, explore ideas, champion our customers, and set the pace in our industry. We can do this because of our teams of experts, innovators, and game-changers from every walk of life.

From software development to head office functions, there is always a range of fully flexible opportunities open. We build the future of betting and gaming industry at full scale. Just like our brands, we use our global scale as a leader and our challenger mindset to ensure our people have everything they need to succeed.

Our story begins in the summer of 2007 when Betfair Romania Development was founded in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, as a local business office of the Betfair Group. The first teams of technology experts powered the Betfair brand and by 2013, we already ensured a full development lifecycle in house.

Part of the Paddy Power Betfair (PPB) Group (2016-2020)

In early 2016, two of the fastest-growing online betting and gaming operators in the world, Betfair and Paddy Power merged, forming the Paddy Power Betfair Group. For the existing Cluj office, this involved a change in the operating model to fit the workstreams into a larger business context. New teams were set in place, new career opportunities were shaped, new exciting projects came our way. Betfair Romania Development shortly became PPB’s Center of Excellence in Gaming, Data and Customer Technology, with a new and unique business function called Sports Operations added to the office later on in 2017.

Part of the Flutter Group (2020 – present)

By mid-2019, following the later acquisition of The Stars Group, Paddy Power Betfair became Flutter – the holding company for a unique portfolio of global brands, a world leader in online sports betting and iGaming.

Depending on the jurisdiction they operate in, the brands are grouped into 2 major divisions: FanDuel for our business in North America, and Flutter International for our businesses across the rest of the world. Each division houses innovative brands that operate across geographic regions, offering market-leading products to our customers worldwide.

Today

In 2022, 15 years after it was founded, Betfair Romania Development has grown to become the Flutter's largest hub. Besides Betfair and Paddy Power, new global brands are being powered from Cluj-Napoca: PokerStars, Sky Bet, Sky Gaming, FanDuel, Sportsbet, and Betnacional.

As a collective of over 2,000 people and part of a business at this scale, we love to challenge norms, explore ideas, champion our customers and set the pace in our industry. Our efforts are streamlined to deliver exciting, immersive and safe experiences to over 18 million customers worldwide.

From software development to head office functions, there is always a range of fully flexible opportunities at Betfair Romania Development. At the beginning of 2022, despite the early stage of the pre-pandemic world and while still navigating through uncertainty, we announced an ambitious plan of hitting a milestone of 1,600 employees by the end of 2023. At the beginning of 2024, we planned to reach a 2.000 strong-team by the end of the year, and successfully achieved this milestone in November. We are now a collective of over 2,000 incredible, creative, and pioneering minds.
