The Players' Panel

We’re the voice of the players – and we want to be heard

The Players’ Panel is bringing the voices of people who actually bet into the debate on the future of gaming and digital entertainment. Brought together by Entain, the Players’ Panel gives a voice to the 99% of people in the UK who bet enjoyably, safely and responsibly – and often go unheard.

The views of the Panel are wholly our own.
