EPIC Risk Management Partners with Whysup to Reduce Gambling Harms

EPIC Risk Management has partnered with Whysup, an addiction awareness service, to support the UK Gambling Commission’s “National Strategy to Reduce Gambling Harms”. The partnership will deal with the gambling related problems, as well as raise awareness to reduce gambling related harm at practical and regulatory level.

“A key enabler in the National Strategy to reduce Gambling Harms is collaboration, as is the important role that people with lived experience can offer. The passion of Mark and Liam (Whysup directors) to make a difference combined with their breadth of lived experience really resonated with us,” Pete Wallis, EPIC Operations Manager said.

“This strategic partnership is a real force multiplier and will allow us to have a greater reach, and positively impact on more people to reduce gambling related harms. We’re excited for the future and believe this collaborative partnership will be instrumental in the strategy to make gambling safer for all,” Pete Wallis added.

“EPIC Risk Management have long been known as the leading gambling harm minimisation consultancy and after meeting the team we realised they were like-minded. Paul (EPIC CEO & Founder) and his team have not forgotten why they started and are first and foremost concerned with reduction in harm and always looking to maintain high standards in this industry,” Whysup Director Mark Murray said.

“Whysup are passionate about our work, we have delivered to a variety of different audiences and utilise personal experiences to validate our service. We have a grass roots, real world approach and believe our partnership with EPIC will ensure more people are educated, gambling is made safer and show when to hit the stop button, if needed. We are delighted to be collaborating with Paul and his team,” Murray added.
