EPIC Risk Management, a globally leading independent gambling harm minimization consultancy, has named leading problematic gambling prevention specialist Dan Trolaro as Vice President of Prevention, effective August 9.

Dan leaves his role of Assistant Executive Director at the Council on Compulsive Gambling of New Jersey where he has worked to reduce the impact of gambling-related harms through training, strategic advisory, and state-specific prevention programming.

“I’m excited to be joining EPIC as the Vice President of Prevention in the US. As gambling continues to expand in the United States and globally, we are seeing an increased need and desire for prevention, education, and awareness to reduce gambling-related harms. I’m excited to continue working with various stakeholders around the country who share a similar vision and desire to address this growing public health issue,” Trolaro said.

“In Dan, we are adding a person who has a real passion, personally, and track record, professionally, in preventing gambling harm,” Paul Buck, CEO of EPIC Risk Management, said.

“Gambling is a public health issue, and the prevention of harm is critical if the US is to avoid the mistakes of more mature gambling markets. With the hire of our VP of US Policy & Strategic Development, Brianne Doura-Schawohl, late last year we showed a dedication to assisting in the creation of robust gambling policy. With the addition of Dan to the team, a man of considerable expertise including his own lived experience, we will be stepping up our efforts in the areas we have led in the UK and Europe with prevention programs, advisory, and training to the highest risk sectors. The US is still a nascent gambling market but true prevention is proactive, not reactive,” Paul Buck added.

“This is a significant appointment for our US Operation. Dan joining us only strengthens our mission to take the problem out of gambling and help create a safe and sustainable industry in the US. Dan will play a vital role in our blended, four-pillar approach of Lived Experience, Prevention, Policy, and Research and Evidence, something we feel will bring the greatest success to tackling problematic gambling in the US head-on,” John Millington, SVP of US Operations at EPIC Risk Management, said.

Supplier secures AGLC registration and extends its Canadian footprint beyond Ontario, where it has been live since 2022.

Greentube has gone live in Alberta on the day the province opened as a newly regulated iGaming market, marking the supplier’s first launch in the jurisdiction.

The NOVOMATIC Digital Gaming and Entertainment division said it completed regulatory and technical due diligence and secured registration with the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis (AGLC) commission to operate in the province. Alberta becomes only the second Canadian province to regulate iGaming after Ontario, with the new framework replacing the monopoly previously held by Play Alberta.

The Alberta launch builds on Greentube’s existing Canadian footprint. The company has been live in Ontario since 2022 and described the Alberta debut as part of its wider North American expansion strategy.

Greentube said Alberta players will initially have access to a curated set of titles including Piggy Prizes Wand of Riches 2, Rumble Riches Haulin’ Gold and Firecracker Frenzy Money Toad, as well as Silver Lux Big Win Spinner, Starlight Jackpots Captain’s Catch and Charming Lady’s Boom.

David Bolas, Commercial Director at Greentube, said: “Going live in Alberta on the day the market opens is an important step for Greentube and reflects the strong momentum we are seeing in Canada.

“We welcome the opportunity a new jurisdiction offers and look forward to working with locally licensed operators to introduce our established offering to players in Alberta. With a balanced line-up of new releases and proven performers, we are well placed to offer a compelling experience in the province and support our long-term ambitions in the region.”
