Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At alassala.co.uk, we are committed to promoting responsible gambling practices. Betting and casino games should only ever be viewed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to make money or solve financial problems. The odds are always in favour of the house, and you should only ever gamble with money you can afford to lose.
Please remember: gambling carries a risk of addiction and financial harm. If you are struggling with your gambling, help is available.
Age Verification
By accessing gambling services through alassala.co.uk and William Hill, you confirm that you are:
- 18 years of age or older (the legal minimum age for gambling in Great Britain), or
- At least the legal age for gambling in your jurisdiction
We take age verification seriously and operate in full compliance with UK Gambling Commission regulations. If you are under 18, you must not gamble or attempt to access gambling services.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
If you recognise any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may indicate a gambling problem:
- ☐ Chasing losses by gambling more to try to win money back
- ☐ Gambling with money needed for essential expenses (rent, bills, food)
- ☐ Hiding your gambling activity or lying about how much you gamble
- ☐ Unable to cut down or stop gambling despite wanting to

If any of these apply to you, please seek help immediately.
