Responsible Gaming
Introduction
At intval.co.uk, we believe that gambling should be enjoyed as entertainment only, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Betting with William Hill and other operators should be fun, exciting, and within your means. Always gamble within your budget and never chase losses.
Age Verification
You must be 18 years of age or over to gamble in the United Kingdom. If you are under 18, please do not attempt to register or place bets. Gambling is not suitable for minors, and it is illegal for us to offer services to anyone under the legal age.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Please be aware of these warning signs that may indicate a gambling problem:
- Chasing losses by betting more money to recover what you've lost
- Gambling with money intended for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
- Hiding your gambling activity or lying to friends and family about how much you gamble
- Feeling anxious or irritable when you're not gambling
- Needing to gamble with larger amounts to achieve the same excitement
- Spending more time gambling than intended
- Neglecting work, school, or relationships due to gambling
- Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
- Feeling a loss of control over your gambling habits
- Using gambling as an escape from stress, anxiety, or depression
If you recognise any of these signs in yourself or someone else, help is available.
Self-Help Tools & Responsible Gaming Features
Most UK operators, including William Hill, offer tools to help you maintain control:
- Deposit Limits: Set a maximum amount you can deposit within a specific time period
- Loss Limits: Cap the amount you're willing to lose over a given timeframe
- Reality Checks: Receive regular reminders about how long you've been gambling and how much you've spent
- Time-Out/Cool-Off Periods: Take a break from gambling for a set period (typically 24 hours to 6 weeks)
- Self-Exclusion: Temporarily or permanently exclude yourself from gambling sites
We strongly encourage you to use these tools if you feel your gambling may be getting out of control.
