    Safer Betting and Gaming

    Safer betting and gaming is at the centre of everything that Entain does. It is the cornerstone of our Sustainability Charter, and our most material ESG issue is to ensure the highest possible levels of player safety and protection. Failure to adequately protect our customers could impact our ability to offer products and build a sustainable business. How we manage and mitigate the risk We know that only a responsible business can be a sustainable one which is why we continue to invest in our Sustainability Charter as detailed on page 40 of the Report. One of the key pillars of this charter is our Advanced Responsibility and Care™ (“ARC™” ) programme. ARC™ is an intelligent and innovative platform that uses behavioural insight and research, data science and analytics to assess risk in play, enabling us to identify, interact and intervene early with customers, who show signs of gambling-related harm. This is coupled with a range of initiatives in the area of player protection, including a $5m academic research partnership with the Harvard Medical School, to understand the causes and consequences of problem gambling, and donating up to 1% of our GGY to the treatment of gambling related issues. Strategic relevance The Entain strategy is founded on having a sustainable business which provides an entertaining and safe environment for customers to enjoy our products. An inability to adequately protect our customers would fundamentally impact our ability to achieve our strategic goals. These include being the most responsible operator, taking a scientific led approach to player protection and only operating in regulated markets by the end of 2023.

FAQ

What are “Risk Factors”?
Risk factors are any situations or occurrences that could make investing in a company risky. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) requires that publicly traded companies disclose their most significant risk factors. This is so that potential investors can consider any risks before they make an investment. They also offer companies protection, as a company can use risk factors as liability protection. This could happen if a company underperforms and investors take legal action as a result. It is worth noting that smaller companies, that is those with a public float of under $75 million on the last business day, do not have to include risk factors in their 10-K and 10-Q forms, although some may choose to do so.
How do companies disclose their risk factors?
Publicly traded companies initially disclose their risk factors to the SEC through their S-1 filings as part of the IPO process. Additionally, companies must provide a complete list of risk factors in their Annual Reports (Form 10-K) or (Form 20-F) for “foreign private issuers”. Quarterly Reports also include a section on risk factors (Form 10-Q) where companies are only required to update any changes since the previous report. According to the SEC, risk factors should be reported concisely, logically and in “plain English” so investors can understand them.
How can I use TipRanks risk factors in my stock research?
Use the Risk Factors tab to get data about the risk factors of any company in which you are considering investing. You can easily see the most significant risks a company is facing. Additionally, you can find out which risk factors a company has added, removed or adjusted since its previous disclosure. You can also see how a company’s risk factors compare to others in its sector. Without reading company reports or participating in conference calls, you would most likely not have access to this sort of information, which is usually not included in press releases or other public announcements. A simplified analysis of risk factors is unique to TipRanks.
