Who we work with

Our experienced investigators can investigate losses that have arisen from both internal and external financial crime, help recover misappropriated funds and develop a framework to prevent future occurrences

Sky Bet launch responsible gambling campaign for EFL clubs

Leeds based online gambling operator Sky Bet has launched a new responsible gambling campaign designed to educate players and staff from every one of the 72 EFL clubs about gambling related harm.

EPIC will provide each club with training similar to that which it has delivered to Chelsea FC, the Professional Cricketers’ Association and the Rugby Players’ Association. In addition, it will work with current networks within professional football to signpost support for any player or club official who requires it.

The aim of the training will be to ensure players understand the potential risks associated with gambling, the rules around betting integrity, and know how to look out for signs of potential harm in their teammates.
