Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At clivestace.com, we believe that betting with William Hill should be enjoyed as entertainment only. Gambling should never be viewed as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Only wager what you can afford to lose, and always maintain control over your gambling habits.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years of age or older to gamble in the United Kingdom. This is a legal requirement. If you are under 18, you are not permitted to place bets or access betting services. It is your responsibility to ensure you meet the legal age requirement in your jurisdiction before participating in any gambling activities.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate problem gambling:
- Chasing losses by gambling more money to recover previous losses
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about the amount wagered
- Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, food, bills)
- Neglecting family, work, or other important responsibilities due to gambling
- Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
- Continuously increasing bet sizes to achieve the same level of excitement
- Failed attempts to reduce or stop gambling
- Using gambling to escape problems or negative emotions
- Borrowing money or going into debt to fund gambling
- Loss of interest in activities previously enjoyed
If you identify with any of these warning signs, please seek help immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Controls
William Hill and reputable betting operators offer a range of tools to help you maintain control of your gambling:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount of money you can deposit within a specified timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly)
- Loss Limits: Set a limit on the maximum amount you are willing to lose over a given period
- Reality Checks: Receive notifications during your betting session to remind you how long you have been gambling
- Session Time Limits: Set a maximum duration for your betting sessions
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from accessing your account and betting services
- Account Closure: Request permanent closure of your betting account if needed
We encourage you to use these tools proactively as part of your responsible gambling approach.
