Responsible Gaming

Gambling Should Be Entertainment

At gummeeglove.co.uk, we're committed to promoting responsible gambling. Gambling should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Only gamble with money you can afford to lose, and never chase your losses.

Age Verification

William Hill and all UK-licensed gambling operators require that players are 18 years of age or over. This is a legal requirement. If you are under 18, you must not register or attempt to gamble. If you are aware of anyone under 18 gambling, please report it to the UK Gambling Commission.

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone else, it may indicate a gambling problem:

• Chasing losses – trying to win back money you've lost by gambling more
• Gambling with money meant for essentials like rent, bills, or food
• Hiding or lying about the amount of time or money spent gambling
• Feeling anxious or irritable when unable to gamble
• Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
• Neglecting relationships, work, or hobbies due to gambling
• Borrowing money to fund gambling activities
• Failed attempts to cut down or stop gambling
• Needing to gamble with increasing amounts to achieve the same excitement
• Thinking about gambling constantly
