TIME Names Three Gambling Companies Among the World’s Top 1,000

More than 200,000 employees worldwide participated in the survey, placing Flutter Entertainment, which also operates online casino brands, 41st, Las Vegas Sands 263rd, and MGM, which has an online casino business through BetMGM, 499th in the ranking.

Flutter Finishes Ahead of Toyota and PayPal

Flutter was the only gambling company to break into the top 100. It placed above PayPal (44th), Toyota (66th), IBM (77th) and Nestlé (78th). The brand behind PokerStars, FanDuel, Sky Casino, Betfair, Paddy Power and Sisal scored 87.99 out of 100 — its strongest result since 2023, when it ranked 597th.

Flutter ranked 14th for reporting transparency, while its revenue growth was rated “very high”. Employee satisfaction was the company's weakest area, with the company ranking 501st in this regard.

Two More Casino Giants Also Made the Cut

Las Vegas Sands ranked 263rd. One of the biggest land-based casino operators by market capitalisation, fueled entirely by its high-margin integrated resorts in Macao and Singapore.

Benefiting from its dominant position on the Las Vegas Strip and the expansion of the BetMGM digital ecosystem, MGM ranked 499th, giving the iGaming industry two more spots on TIME’s TOP 1,000 list of best companies worldwide.
