Hi,

I don’t usual post on Reddit but I need some urgent advice. My boyfriend has suffered with a gambling addiction for a number of years. It seems as though when stressful things happen in his life he turns to gambling. I found out today that he had created a William hill account last week using my name. He used his phone number which has been on gamstop since 2022. Over the past week or so he has lost thousands of pounds, all his own money off his own cards, paid by Apple Pay but using the William hill account in my name.

I’m just wondering how this has been able to happen and what I can do to stop this from happening again with other bookmakers.

Thank you
