Premier Greyhound Racing, the recently-launched joint venture between Entain and Arena Racing Company, have added to their Board with the appointment of Clarissa Baldwin CBE to the position of Non-Executive Director.
Baldwin joins Premier Greyhound Racing having held numerous senior positions across the animal welfare industry, including a 25 year tenure as Chief Executive Officer of the Dogs Trust and over 20 years as chair of the Greyhound Forum. Other notable posts held include serving on Lord Donoughue’s 2007 independent review of the greyhound racing industry as well as being a current trustee of the international charity, Mission Rabies. Baldwin is the author of the slogan ‘A dog is for life, not just for Christmas’ and was awarded a CBE in 2015 for her outstanding contribution to animal welfare.
Commenting on her appointment, Clarissa Baldwin said: “It’s an honour to be joining the Premier Greyhound Racing Board. I have a life-long passion for the welfare of animals and racing greyhounds are incredibly close to my heart, in particular after my two decades as Chair of the Greyhound Forum. I am looking forward to working with David Lipsey and his team to help deliver Premier Greyhound Racing’s commitment to the welfare of greyhounds, the precious stars of our sport.”
Welcoming her to the Premier Greyhound Racing Board, Chair Lord David Lipsey added: “Clarissa’s appointment is a tremendous asset to the Premier Greyhound Racing Board. She is a tireless champion of animal welfare and her vast experience will be invaluable given her distinguished career associated with leading canine bodies both within, and outside, the sport. I will work closely with Clarissa as we drive forward with our shared passion to put greyhound welfare at the very heart of everything we do at Premier Greyhound Racing.”
Premier Greyhound Racing aims to deliver the market-leading greyhound racing product, delivering increased welfare standards and investment to best serve racegoers, owners and trainers, revitalising the sport in the process.
Between them ARC and Entain own nine of Britain’s 20 official and regulated greyhound racing tracks. The company will offer a comprehensive package of racing, both to digital and retail betting operators and their customers, worldwide from the ARC and Entain stadia along with five independent tracks (Kinsley, Pelaw Grange, Sheffield, Swindon and Yarmouth).
Premier Greyhound Racing parent companies, Entain and ARC, have each committed to invest in Open Racing prize money, exceeding a combined £2.5 million, as well as to invest further in welfare research projects.
Premier Greyhound Racing will work with the sport’s governing body, the Greyhound Board of Great Britain, supporting their developing welfare strategies.

Prime Skill Games Inc. Official Response to AGCO Press Release

As CEO of Prime Skill Games Inc., I feel compelled to address recent comments made by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario regarding so-called unapproved gambling machines in convenience stores across the province.
Let me be perfectly clear
Our machines are not gambling devices. They are entirely skill-based, fully compliant with the law, and built on the fundamental idea that players are in control. The outcome of every session is determined solely by the player’s ability, not by random chance.
Prime Skill Games is proud to be the only true skill game operating in Ontario today.
We categorically reject any suggestion that our products fall under the definition of unregulated gambling. Such statements are inaccurate, misleading, and fail to recognize the critical distinction between games of skill and games of chance.
We stand firmly behind the legality of our machines and the integrity of our operations. We will demonstrate this through every available means, whether through legal documentation, expert analysis, or, if necessary, before the courts. We are prepared and unafraid to defend the truth.
To our players, partners, and business community, we want to reassure you that our mission has not changed. We are committed to offering a responsible, transparent, and innovative entertainment experience. We will not be intimidated by broad and baseless accusations, and we will continue to move forward with strength and clarity.
Sincerely
Matt Zamroźniak
Chief Executive Officer
