Step-by-Step Guide

1

Set deposit limits

In your William Hill Casino account settings, set daily, weekly, or monthly deposit limits to control your spending.

2

Set loss limits

Configure maximum loss limits to automatically stop play when you've reached your threshold.

3

Use cool-off periods

If you need a short break, use William Hill Casino's cool-off feature to temporarily restrict your access for a set period.

4

Self-exclude if needed

For a longer break, self-exclusion at William Hill Casino prevents you from accessing your account for a chosen duration (typically 6 months to 5 years).

Tips & Best Practices

  • Set limits before you start playing, not after losses.
  • Never chase losses — this is the most common path to problem gambling.
  • William Hill Casino's responsible gambling tools are available in your account settings.
  • If gambling is affecting your life, seek help from organizations like GamCare, Gambling Therapy, or the National Council on Problem Gambling.
  • The UK has the most comprehensive responsible gambling framework in the world. All UKGC-licensed casinos must offer deposit limits, loss limits, session time limits, and reality checks.
  • GamStop (gamstop.co.uk) lets you self-exclude from all UKGC-licensed gambling sites at once — for 6 months, 1 year, or 5 years. Registration is free and takes effect within 24 hours.
  • If you or someone you know is struggling with gambling, contact GamCare on 0808 8020 133 (free, 24/7) or visit BeGambleAware.org for advice, support, and treatment referrals.
