Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At Kennington Chartist Project, we believe that gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. When you play at William Hill or any other gambling operator, please remember that the house always has a mathematical advantage. Gamble only with money you can afford to lose, and never chase losses or use gambling as an escape from personal difficulties.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years of age or older to gamble in the United Kingdom. If you are under the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction, you are not permitted to access gambling services. William Hill takes age verification seriously and reserves the right to request proof of identity.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. Please review the following checklist. If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone you know, seek help immediately:
- Spending more time and money on gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activity from family, friends, or partners
- Neglecting work, education, or family responsibilities due to gambling
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when unable to gamble
- Using gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
- Lying about the extent of gambling activity
- Loss of interest in other hobbies or social activities
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
Self-Help Tools Available
William Hill and other reputable gambling operators offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose over a specified timeframe
- Reality Checks: Receive regular notifications during gambling sessions to help you stay aware of time and money spent
- Session Limits: Set time restrictions on your gambling sessions
