Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment

At Channaford, we believe that betting and gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. William Hill betting should be enjoyed responsibly and within your means.

Remember: the house always has an edge. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never chase losses by increasing your stakes.

Age Verification

Gambling is strictly regulated in Great Britain and is only available to persons aged 18 years and over. If you are under 18, you must not attempt to gamble or place bets with William Hill or any other licensed operator.

By using this site, you confirm that you are of legal age in your jurisdiction to participate in gambling activities.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Be aware of these warning signs that may indicate a developing gambling problem:

• Constantly thinking about gambling or betting
• Needing to bet larger amounts to achieve the same excitement
• Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
• Gambling longer than intended
• Hiding gambling activity or the amount wagered from family and friends
• Lying about the extent of your gambling
• Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
• Borrowing money to gamble or pay gambling debts
• Neglecting responsibilities, work, or relationships due to gambling
• Continuing to gamble despite financial, personal, or emotional harm

If you recognise any of these signs in your behaviour, please seek help immediately.

Self-Help Tools and Controls

Most reputable betting operators, including William Hill, provide tools to help you gamble responsibly:

• Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period (daily, weekly, or monthly)
• Loss Limits: Restrict the amount you are willing to lose during a specified period
• Stake Limits: Cap the maximum amount you can wager per bet
• Reality Checks: Receive pop-up reminders of how long you have been gambling
• Time-Out: Take a temporary break from your account (typically 24 hours to several weeks)
• Self-Exclusion: Permanently or temporarily close your account and exclude yourself from gambling

We strongly encourage you to use these tools as part of a responsible gambling strategy.
