Key Points

Epic Global Solutions Founder & CEO Paul Buck will take part in the United Nations (UN)’s General Assembly event in New York on September 23, seeking to improve player protection standards worldwide and prompt ongoing discussions for modernized and safer gambling policies.
“The aim is for us to be thought-provokers for an invited audience of around 100 guests who all have roles around the world that allow them to influence gambling policy. They’ll be encouraged to interrogate our thoughts, ask questions and look to come up with their own conclusions on preventing gambling-related harm,” Buck said.
“The new framework hasn’t been widely available prior to this event, but there are going to be some big hitters in the room there to discuss how it could work, so we trust that our contribution will provoke some very interesting new discussion on how it could all come together as a guide to use around the world.”
Buck will help lead discussion on potentially creating a new global framework for preventing gambling-related harm at the 80th annual UN General Assembly event, set to be hosted from the Hard Rock Hotel in Manhattan.
The Epic Global Solutions Founder & CEO will be joined on the panel by Dean Hestermann of Caesars Entertainment, Jamie Wiebe from Crown Resorts and Mindway AI’s Rasmus Kjaergaard.
Good to know: Epic Global Solutions partnered with Underdog Fantasy on May 13 to deliver a series of responsible gaming workshops aimed at strengthening player protection practices through personal storytelling and frontline staff training
“Prevention is sometimes just seen as a ‘nice-to-have,’ or something that’s going to suck away the profit of an organization,” Buck said.
“I would turn it around to say that RG or prevention of harm is absolutely the number one most critical thing to underpin a sustainable regulated gambling industry, either in a mature market or in a newly licenced or regulated one, because by undertaking RG and reducing harm, you’re far less likely to push people over to the unregulated black market where harm is more likely to go undetected.”
The group will address the proposed Responsible Gambling Triple-P Framework pillars, including education, informed choice & harm prevention, as well as risk detection & intervention.
