Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At paperfigportstewart.co.uk, we are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices. William Hill betting and all forms of gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Please gamble within your means and only spend what you can afford to lose.
Gambling should be fun. If it stops being fun, it's time to seek help.
Age Verification
In the United Kingdom, you must be 18 years of age or older to participate in gambling activities. We take age verification seriously and reserve the right to request proof of age at any time. If you are under 18, or if you are in a jurisdiction where the legal age is higher than 18, you must not use our services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop without warning. Please be honest with yourself and check if any of the following apply to you:
- Gambling more frequently or with larger amounts than intended
- Chasing losses by gambling more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activities or lying about how much you gamble
- Gambling to escape problems, stress, anxiety, or depression
- Neglecting work, family, or social responsibilities due to gambling
- Borrowing money or getting into debt to fund gambling
- Continuing to gamble despite negative consequences
- Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
- Experiencing irritability or mood changes when not gambling
- Feeling unable to control your gambling impulses
If you recognise any of these signs in your own behaviour, please reach out for support immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Controls
William Hill and most reputable operators offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specified time period (daily, weekly, or monthly).
- Loss Limits: Set a maximum amount you are willing to lose over a given period.
- Reality Checks: Receive reminders during your gambling session about how long you've been playing and how much you've wagered.
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling accounts. This is a powerful tool if you feel you've lost control.
- Account Closure: Close your account entirely if you wish to stop gambling.
Take advantage of these tools. They are designed to help you stay in control.
