The decision ends the lawsuit over the valuation of FanDuel, one of the leading U.S. sports betting platforms alongside services from DraftKings, Caesars and MGM.
Fox has a 10-year option to acquire the stake, which runs through December 2030. The arbitrator ruled that there would be a 5% annual escalator on its purchase price, meaning the current price of a deal would be $4.1 billion.
Fox said, as part of the arbitration ruling, Flutter cannot pursue an IPO for FanDuel without Fox's consent or approval from the arbitrator. However, Flutter disputed that claim and later told CNBC in a statement that Fox does not have a block on any potential IPO of FanDuel, should one occur., taking advantage of the booming sports betting market.
