EPIC and Kindred Link-up Once Again in the US
Gambling harm minimization consultancy EPIC Risk Management has once again teamed up with the Kindred Group to provide sector-leading training and development sessions for their staff in the US.
Liv Biesemans, Group Deputy Counsel to Kindred Group PLC, said: “Kindred’s U.S. player sustainability and customer support teams have engaged EPIC Risk Management for responsible gambling training. Kindred’s global commitment to sustainability and player protection is a key aspect in its U.S. operations as it prepares to enter more states in 2021. Kindred and EPIC Risk Management will continue to build on their existing collaboration to train Kindred employees in proactively monitoring its customers to guarantee a safe and secure gambling experience.”
Mark Potter, EPIC’s Head of Delivery in the US, said: “Responsible gaming requires a focus on culture change, understanding, and a desire for action and change. This is why EPIC will always begin any responsible gaming and problem gambling engagement with a process of consultancy to understand the current state of play within an organization, the requirements that are specific to that individual organization, and how best to tailor our solution to provide fit for purpose, effective, and impactful programs. Ultimately, EPIC firmly believes that a comprehensive and effective responsible gaming training program cannot be found ‘on the shelf’.
“For a sustainable culture to be created, the provision of proven, impactful training and development programs is a vital part of the journey. EPIC Risk Management has worked tirelessly across 16 countries and counting to become world leaders in this field, and we are excited to work with the industry throughout the US to better understand how we can effectively tackle responsible gaming and problem gambling together. In Kindred Group, we have a leading example of an operator who is looking to engage a more conscientious approach and we’re delighted to be working with them in the U.S.”
“EPIC Risk Management is without doubt market leaders when it comes to providing training around all aspects of responsible gambling. They offer a variety of courses, delivered face to face, digitally and via eLearning platforms that are customized to their client’s needs and an absolute must for gambling industry operators,” Maris Catania, Head of Responsible Gaming and Research at Kindred Group, said.
“Kindred/Unibet have been delighted to work with EPIC over the past three years and have benefited from their blended approach of combining lived experience of gambling harm with proven methodology and training concepts. Highlights of our collaboration have been their comprehensive risk assessment training, allowing our staff to better understand the significant risks that problem gambling can bring and then how to conduct effective interactions, focusing on the customers’ emotions and how to deal with conversations of a sensitive nature. Engaging with EPIC has brought about positive behavioral change for our company and is an essential tool for an organization to minimize harm,” Maris Catania added.

Gaming Corps launches with PowerPlay in Ontario ahead of Alberta iGaming debut
Deal puts the Swedish supplier live in Ontario and lines up a day-one rollout with PowerPlay when Alberta’s regulated market opens in July.
Gaming Corps has gone live with Canadian online sportsbook and casino operator PowerPlay in Ontario, expanding its distribution in Canada through an operator registered with iGaming Ontario and regulated by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario.
The agreement also positions Gaming Corps to launch with PowerPlay in Alberta “from day one” when the province opens its newly regulated online gaming market in July, according to the companies. The partnership further extends Gaming Corps’ content across all PowerPlay.com markets.
PowerPlay’s rollout includes several Gaming Corps titles from its 3 Pigs franchise, including 3 Pigs of Olympus and 4 Gym Pigs: Porky Power. Football-themed releases Penalty Champion: Goals to Glory, Goals to Glory Football Fever and Goals to Glory Instant Blitz are also part of the initial content drop.
Graham Greensmith, Chief Commercial Officer at Gaming Corps, said “Canada is becoming an increasingly important market for Gaming Corps, and this launch puts us in a strong position at exactly the right time. Ontario has already shown what a well-structured regulated market can deliver, and Alberta now represents a significant next step.
“PowerPlay has a clear local brand presence and operates across both sportsbook and casino in a way that fits closely with where we see the market heading. This is a launch that gives us an immediate foothold in Ontario, a clear path into Alberta, and a strong foundation for further growth across wider PowerPlay.com markets.”
Lauren Holder, Head of Casino at PowerPlay said: “PowerPlay has grown by focusing on what Canadian players value: choice, trust and an entertainment experience that feels grounded in this market. Gaming Corps fits well within that approach. Its games bring a distinctive tone and pace to our casino, while also giving us content that can work around key sporting moments and new regulated market opportunities. As we continue to develop our casino proposition, we look forward to working with Gaming Corps and bringing its content to players across all PowerPlay.com markets.”

Gaming Corps goes live with PowerPlay in Ontario ahead of Alberta market opening
Gaming Corps – a publicly-listed game development company based in Sweden, has gone live with Canadian online sportsbook and casino operator PowerPlay.
The agreement brings Gaming Corps into Ontario through one of Canada’s established online betting and casino brands, while also positioning the studio to go live with PowerPlay from day one in Alberta when the province opens its newly regulated online gaming market in July.
The partnership also extends Gaming Corps’ content across all PowerPlay.com markets, creating a broader route to players through an operator with a distinctly Canadian identity.
PowerPlay, which launched in 2018, combines sports betting across more than 40 categories with a casino offering more than 1,200 games, alongside a 24/7 live casino experience. The operator is registered with iGaming Ontario and regulated by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario.
At launch, PowerPlay will introduce players to several of Gaming Corps’ most recognisable content strands, led by the 3 Pigs franchise, including the popular 3 Pigs of Olympus and latest instalment, 4 Gym Pigs: Porky Power.
The roll-out also lands as international football prepares to dominate the summer calendar, with Penalty Champion: Goals to Glory, Goals to Glory Football Fever and Goals to Glory Instant Blitz bringing three distinct football-led releases to PowerPlay’s casino catalogue.
Adding a different tempo to the launch is Banknote Blitz, a fast-paced instant win inspired slot where shifting Win Frames, prize collection mechanics and multipliers can unlock full banknote rewards and wins of up to 5,000x.
Graham Greensmith, Chief Commercial Officer at Gaming Corps, said “Canada is becoming an increasingly important market for Gaming Corps, and this launch puts us in a strong position at exactly the right time.
