Epic Global Solutions CEO to Speak on Gambling Harm Prevention at UN

Global gambling policy will take center stage at the United Nations later this month, with Epic Global Solutions Founder & CEO Paul Buck set to join an exclusive panel in New York. The event, part of the 80th UN General Assembly, is scheduled for September 23 and will spotlight safer gambling frameworks that could shape future regulations worldwide.

Good to Know

• Paul Buck of Epic Global Solutions will speak at the UN General Assembly in New York.
• Industry leaders from Caesars Entertainment, Crown Resorts, and Mindway AI will also join the panel.
• Discussions will focus on the Responsible Gambling Triple-P Framework, covering education, informed choice, and harm prevention.

Buck explained that the event is designed to bring influential figures together to consider new approaches. He said:

“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.”

The meeting will take place at the Hard Rock Hotel in Manhattan, with discussions centered on a new global framework that has not been widely shared until now. “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.”

Alongside Buck, the panel will feature Dean Hestermann from Caesars Entertainment, Jamie Wiebe of Crown Resorts, and Mindway AI CEO Rasmus Kjaergaard. Together, they will explore how regulators, operators, and technology providers can collaborate to modernize responsible gambling practices.

The Triple-P Framework

Central to the session is the Responsible Gambling Triple-P Framework, which highlights three core pillars: education, informed choice & harm prevention, and risk detection & intervention. Buck emphasized that prevention must be viewed as a core business principle, not an afterthought:

“Prevention is sometimes just seen as a ‘nice-to-have,’ or something that’s going to suck away the profit of an organization. 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.”
