EPIC Gains UKGC Approval for Problem Gambling Funding

EPIC Risk Management (EPIC), a leading independent gambling harm minimisation consultancy, has become one of the first private companies to be listed on the UK Gambling Commission’s RET register.

EPIC joins counterparts GambleAware, GamCare and YGAM on the list of approved organisations to which gambling companies are required to make social responsibility financial contributions in order to meet their licence conditions.

Paul Buck, CEO and Founder of EPIC, said: “We are delighted to have worked closely with the Safer Gambling Team and executives at the Commission to secure EPIC’s place on the RET supplier register.

“For the National Strategy to Reduce Harms to be successful it is important that collaboration is possible and all leading providers are able to contribute, whilst demonstrating the necessary independent oversight.

“We will now work closely with the regulator, and the many potential partners who have expressed an interest in working with EPIC, to provide meaningful, impactful and evaluated gambling harm minimisation programmes and initiatives to help accelerate the strategy.”
