EPIC and Vixio team up to streamline global gambling compliance
EPIC Global Solutions has slashed its compliance research time from a full day to just one hour. The shift comes after a new partnership with Vixio Regulatory Intelligence, a platform designed to simplify and centralise global gambling regulation.
EPIC, which supports organisations like the EFL, SPFL, NCAA and MLSPA in reducing gambling harm, now uses Vixio to navigate regulation across over 180 jurisdictions. The move marks a strategic step in boosting operational efficiency in a sector where regulatory updates move fast and compliance risks run high.
From red tape to real-time tools
updates from over 1,300 regulatory authorities. The system provides real-time data across licensing, advertising, player protection and other areas. EPIC can now access over 4 million regulatory data points through a single platform.
Daniel Spencer, Principal Consultant at EPIC, said the platform has transformed their workflow.
“As a global consultancy, it’s crucial for us to stay informed on the latest regulatory developments. With Vixio, what would take a day now takes just an hour.”
Efficiency matters, but foresight matters more. EPIC gains the edge by anticipating policy shifts and maintaining compliance across the board. Regulatory delays have a cost.

Simplifying complexity with smarter systems
Gambling regulation is increasingly fragmented, with each region creating its own rules around advertising, affordability, data privacy, and player safety. This makes cross-border advice difficult to scale.
Mike Woolfrey, CEO at Vixio, said:
“We are proud to support EPIC Global Solutions in their mission to reduce gambling harm. Our platform is designed to simplify regulatory complexities, helping organisations like EPIC make informed decisions faster and more confidently.”
Fast answers for fast questions
Tighter rules mean faster decisions. With Vixio cutting through the clutter, EPIC can now focus on reducing gambling harm in real time.
Spencer explained:
“Trying to keep up with the changes in regulation, new stories as they break, and emerging markets in this space is a very difficult process, and Vixio makes that a lot easier.”
The partnership goes beyond access to data. Vixio’s support team has helped integrate the platform fully into EPIC’s day-to-day compliance monitoring.
“The support from Vixio’s team has been exceptional. Their proactive approach ensures we maximise the platform’s value, and they’re always available when we need assistance,” said Spencer.
Technology meets social responsibility
While Vixio’s core clients include operators and suppliers, harm-reduction groups and consultants are increasingly turning to regulatory intelligence to stay ahead of mounting pressure from global regulators. From the UK Gambling Commission’s affordability push to shifting ad rules in Australia and sweeping enforcement drives across North America, regulatory demands are stacking up fast.
For EPIC, staying proactive is non-negotiable. Speed is more than a luxury in a climate where compliance slip-ups can cost licences, reputations, and player trust.
“Certainly, for anybody advising in this space from a consultancy point of view, Vixio is a valuable tool to ensure that your knowledge is kept up to date and the best it can be,” said Spencer.
As the race to meet rising standards in player protection continues, could smart compliance tools become the real power players in gambling reform?
