Flutter will also pay an additional $100m previously forfeited to the Commonwealth as part of the supersedeas bond in the case.
The dispute stems back to 2015 when PokerStars was ordered to pay $290m by Franklin Circuit Court Judge Thomas Wingate, after allegations that it provided unlawful gambling services to Kentucky-based players between October 2006 and April 2011.

Flutter claimed PokerStars made just $18m from Kentucky customers during the period in question.
