Responsible Gaming
Gaming Should Be Entertainment
At Chainé FM, we believe that betting and gaming should be enjoyed as a form of entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Betting always carries risk, and the odds are designed in favour of the operator. Only bet what you can afford to lose.
Age Verification
In the United Kingdom, you must be at least 18 years of age to participate in betting and gaming activities. William Hill and all affiliated operators conduct strict age verification checks. If you are under 18, please do not attempt to register or place bets. We take this responsibility seriously to protect young people.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs in your own behaviour, it may be time to seek help:
- Spending more time or money gambling than intended
- Chasing losses by betting more to recover money lost
- Hiding gambling activity or lying about how much you gamble
- Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Borrowing money to fund gambling
- Neglecting family, work, or other responsibilities due to gambling
- Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
- Unsuccessful attempts to cut down or stop gambling
- Friends or family expressing concern about your gambling
Self-Help Tools & Safer Gambling Features
William Hill and other responsible operators offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a daily, weekly, or monthly period
- Loss Limits: Cap the amount you are willing to lose over a specified timeframe
- Stake Limits: Restrict the maximum bet amount per wager
- Reality Checks: Receive reminders during your gaming session about how long you've been playing
- Time-Out: Take a temporary break from your account for a set period

These tools are available in your account settings. Use them to set boundaries that work for you.
