Does this look acceptable for a chain and hook? Seems way too much play.

Don't some work with 3/8 and 5/16?
Unless I dreamt that 70 or 80s maybe.
Dunno I got right into chain sizes a bit back getting some chokers.

No. Wrong size binder for that chain.

do it as well as you can,but learn to do it better
even though it has 3/8" stamped/embossed into it -- I assume that's 10mm chain in it ATM ... if it's 8mm then deffo not

Some do two sizes, I'd be happy to use that binder with that chain provided the chain is 10mm, no way those links are gonna fold and pull through that hook!

10mm chain? Most binders can take 10 and 16mm ? Is that from ratchet straps uk? Will check what mine look like when I’m next near them!

Yes that’s what the firm said, just called them.
He says it’s fine and to be fair I don’t see any way the next link could fold and pull through as @jd6820 says.

If that’s what they say, go with it but I can’t say I’ve seen a wagon come in with that much of a gap in the binder, and the ones w use here definitely don’t.

Some binders only specify they fit one chain size, but I do quite a bit with different chains and have come across binders that cover different size chain. They aren't a tight fit on the chain but there ain't no way those links are giving in and swashing through the hook before the chain safe working rating is exceeded...
