EPIC Global Solutions names Chetan Pandya as managing director with eye on global expansion
Pandya joins EPIC from the sports streaming and betting group DAZN.
UK.- EPIC Global Solutions has appointed Chetan Pandya as its new Managing Director as it seeks to scale its operations worldwide. He arrives from DAZN, where he held senior leadership positions at the international entertainment group, which runs the world’s largest OTT sports streaming platform and launched a betting product in 2022.
He previously spent 13 years at the gambling giant Entain, owner of Ladbrokes and Coral, and a three‑year tenure at ZEAL Network, where he served as Managing Director between 2018 and 2019.
His appointment at Wigan-based EPIC comes as the company seeks to reinforce its role as a strategic partner to organisations in high‑risk industries, particularly as regulatory oversight and expectations around player protection intensify.
“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’s North American expansion has been particularly significant, with EPIC now serving as a frontline responsible‑gaming provider to major operators including FanDuel and BetMGM. In the UK, the organisation has supported initiatives such as William Hill and the Scottish Professional Football League’s education programme on gambling harm and a programme funded by Flutter Entertainment’s Sky Bet.
EPIC also forged new alliances in Europe in 2025, including with Greek lottery operator Intralot and France’s FDJ United, which collaborated with EPIC to strengthen intervention protocols.
Commenting on Pandya’s appointment, EPIC Chief Executive Paul Buck said: “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.”
