What EPIC Global Solutions does

EPIC Global Solutions (legal entity EPG Business Limited) is a UK-headquartered gambling harm prevention business founded in 2013 by Paul Buck and operating across 38 countries, with offices in Wigan, London, and El Segundo, California. Its offering combines professional services — Education & Awareness, Training, Consultancy, and Evaluation — delivered in-person and virtually by facilitators, many of whom have lived experience of gambling harm or former careers as professional athletes and casino staff, with a digital portfolio comprising CPD-accredited eLearning modules, a Digital Safer Gambling Learning Ecosystem for enterprise-wide rollout, co-branded programmes, and population-level Digital Learning Platforms built on scenario-based, decision-based learning design.

The company serves four primary verticals: gambling operators and casinos (BetMGM, FanDuel, Flutter, William Hill, Bally's, Hippodrome Casino), sports organisations (NCAA, MLSPA, NFLPA, SPFL, League of Ireland, Chelsea FC Foundation), schools and universities, and general businesses, generating revenue through bespoke training delivery, strategic advisory days, and licence-based digital learning with unlimited users per licence. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

EPIC differentiates through an unusually large proportion of staff with lived experience of gambling harm, layered regulatory credentials (ISO 9001 for seven consecutive years, ISO 45003 since 2025, ten CPD-accredited courses, UK LCCP compliance), three consecutive SBC Player Protection Service Provider of the Year awards (2022–2024), and named research partnerships including Harvard University. The business is privately held, founder-controlled, and in May 2026 appointed Chetan Pandya, formerly of DAZN, as Managing Director to lead international expansion.

Scale indicators17 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• Gamban: Commercial gambling-blocking software provider used by operators as part of RG toolkits. Comparable to EPIC's player-protection focus, though Gamban delivers software-based blocking while EPIC focuses on education, training, and consultancy.
• BetBlocker: Provider of free gambling-blocking software and harm-minimisation tools. Adjacent to EPIC's player-protection focus via a different mechanism (software controls) but operates in the same responsible-gambling ecosystem serving operators and consumers.

Broad incumbents

• Kindred Group (responsible gambling programmes): Large gambling operator (Unibet, 32Red) with substantial in-house RG and player protection programmes. Comparable as a buyer/competitor of RG services at scale, particularly across European regulated markets where EPIC operates.
• Sportradar Integrity Services: Global sports technology and integrity services provider offering education, monitoring, and investigation for sports organisations. Comparable to EPIC's sport-integrity and player-education work with bodies like NCAA, MLSPA, and LOI.
• GambleAware: UK-funded gambling-harm charity commissioning research, education, and treatment services. Comparable to EPIC as a major provider/funder of responsible gambling education in the UK, though GambleAware operates as a commissioning body rather than a training vendor.

Direct peers

• Ygam (Young Gamblers Education Trust): UK charity delivering gambling-harm awareness and education programmes to young people, parents, and professionals. Directly comparable to EPIC's education and digital learning offerings for schools, universities, and operators.
• Gordon Moody Association: UK charity providing gambling-harm treatment, education, and recovery programmes. Closely comparable to EPIC in its prevention and education focus for gambling operators and affected communities, though it leans more toward treatment than EPIC's training/consultancy mix.

Others

• Entain Foundation: Funding arm of Entain (BetMGM parent) and direct funder of EPIC's NCAA programme via Entain Foundation US. Comparable as a strategic RG funder and a buyer of player-protection services across regulated markets.
• IBIA (International Betting Integrity Association): Industry association focused on betting integrity, operator cooperation, and education. Comparable to EPIC's sport-integrity training and consultancy work as part of the broader player-protection ecosystem.
• Responsible Online Gambling Association (ROGA): UK industry body promoting responsible online gambling standards. EPIC is a listed partner; ROGA is comparable as an industry-association buyer and promoter of responsible gambling standards that shape EPIC's addressable market.
