EPIC Global Solutions Appoints Former DAZN Leader Chetan Pandya as Managing Director

(AsiaGameHub) –   EPIC Global Solutions has named Chetan Pandya as its new Managing Director to support the company’s ongoing global expansion.

Pandya was previously at DAZN, serving in senior leadership positions at the international entertainment company, which runs the world’s largest OTT sports streaming service and introduced a betting offering in 2022.

His appointment aligns with EPIC’s goal to reinforce its role as a strategic partner for organisations in high-risk sectors, especially as regulatory oversight and player protection standards intensify.

He offers extensive industry expertise, with a career spanning over 13 years at FTSE-listed Entain, in addition to a three-year period at lottery provider ZEAL Network, where he was Managing Director from 2018 to 2019.

In his new capacity, Pandya will be instrumental in advancing the company’s growth strategy, concentrating on expanding operations and improving EPIC’s services in sport, gambling, and education.

“EPIC works in an area that is growing ever more vital to the future of international sport and gambling,” Pandya stated.

“The chance to influence how organisations implement prevention, responsibility, and long-term sustainability on a large scale is extremely attractive. I am thrilled to be coming on board at such a crucial point in the company’s development.”

EPIC to build on recent global momentum

Headquartered in northern England, EPIC has increasingly become a central player in industry initiatives to combat gambling-related harm, collaborating with major entities to implement prevention programmes and achieve tangible results.

Its entry into the North American market has been especially significant, with the firm becoming a primary responsible-gaming services provider for industry leaders like FanDuel and BetMGM.

The organisation has also increased its footprint in its native UK in recent years, taking a key part in launching the gambling-harm education programme for William Hill and the Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL), while continuing a solid partnership with Flutter Entertainment’s Sky Bet.

Elsewhere in Europe, EPIC forged alliances in 2025 with Greek lottery operator Intralot – which completed a £2.3bn acquisition of Bally’s Interactive last year – and France’s FDJ United, which collaborated with the group to enhance its intervention protocols.

Commenting on Pandya’s appointment, Paul Buck, CEO of EPIC Global Solutions, said: “This marks an important milestone for EPIC. Chetan provides the expertise, leadership, and international outlook required as we keep expanding and transforming.

“Our objective is unequivocal – to become the trusted partner for the world’s premier organisations in player protection, and this hiring reinforces our capacity to achieve that goal.”
