EPIC Global Solutions has appointed Chetan Pandya as Managing Director as it continues to scale operations around the world.
Pandya joins from DAZN, where he held senior leadership roles at the international entertainment firm, which operates both the world’s largest OTT sports streaming service and launched a betting proposition back in 2022.
His arrival comes as EPIC looks to strengthen its position as a strategic partner to organisations operating across high-risk sectors, particularly as regulatory scrutiny and expectations around player protection continue to rise.
He brings strong industry experience, having spent over 13 years at LSE-listed Entain, as well as a three-year stint at lottery provider ZEAL Network, where he served as Managing Director between 2018-2019.
In his new role, Pandya will help drive the company’s growth strategy, focusing on scaling operations and enhancing EPIC’s offering across sport, gambling and education.
“EPIC operates in a space that is becoming increasingly critical to the future of global sport and gambling,” Pandya said.
“The opportunity to help shape how organisations approach prevention, responsibility, and long-term sustainability at scale is incredibly compelling. I’m excited to be joining at such a pivotal moment in the company’s journey.”
EPIC to build on recent global momentum
EPIC, headquartered in the north of England, has increasingly positioned itself at the centre of industry efforts to address gambling-related harm, working with major organisations to deliver prevention programmes and measurable impact.
Its expansion into North America has been particularly noteworthy, with the company establishing itself as a frontline responsible-gaming services provider to market leaders such as FanDuel and BetMGM.
The organisation has grown its presence in its home of the UK in recent years too, playing a central role in the launch of William Hill and the Scottish Professional Football League’s (SPFL) gambling-harm education programme, while it has maintained a strong relationship with Flutter Entertainment’s Sky Bet.
Further out in Europe, in 2025, EPIC developed partnerships with Greek lottery provider Intralot – which notably acquired Bally’s Interactive for £2.3bn late last year – and France’s FDJ United, which partnered with the group to strengthen intervention protocols.
On Pandya’s appointment, Paul Buck, Chief Executive Officer of EPIC Global Solutions, commented: “This is a significant moment for EPIC. Chetan brings the experience, leadership, and global perspective we need as we continue to grow and evolve.
“Our ambition is clear – to be the trusted partner to the world’s leading organisations in player protection, and this appointment strengthens our ability to deliver on that.”
