❤️ One Thing to Remember

Betting is a form of entertainment. But when it starts causing stress instead of enjoyment, reaching out for help is the brave thing to do. williamhill is always here for you.

1 What is Responsible Gambling?

Responsible Gambling means keeping betting as a limited form of entertainment — where you decide how much time and money you spend. williamhill's core Responsible Gambling principle is simple: betting should stay enjoyable and should never harm your financial or mental well-being.

Many people in Bangladesh think of online betting as a source of income — but that's not the case. Betting is entertainment, and wins and losses are both part of it. Never bet with money you can't afford to lose.

Williamhill wants every member to play with a clear head and within their means. That's why we've built a full suite of responsible gaming tools to keep you in control at all times.

2 Recognize the Signs of Problem Gambling

The following signs may indicate that your betting habits are getting out of control:

  • Spending more than your budget on betting
  • Chasing losses with more bets
  • Hiding your betting activity from family or friends
  • Feeling restless or irritable when not betting
  • Betting is affecting your work, studies, or relationships
  • Borrowing money or selling assets to fund betting
  • Repeatedly trying to cut back but unable to

⚠️ Please Note: If you're experiencing these signs, take action now. Don't blame yourself — this is a common issue with real solutions. Reach out to williamhill's support team or seek professional assistance.

3 Set Your Own Limits

Log in to williamhill and go to Account Settings to set any of the following limits at any time:

Limit Type Description Time to Take Effect
Deposit Limits Maximum daily / weekly / monthly deposit amount Immediate
Betting Limits Maximum bet amount within a set time period Immediate
Loss Limit Maximum amount you can lose within a given period Immediate
Session Time Limit How long do you play in one sitting Immediate
✅ Good to Know

Limit reductions take effect immediately. Increasing a limit requires a 7-day waiting period — this is in place for your own protection.

4 Cooling-Off Period — Take a Short Break

Sometimes you just need to step back. Use williamhill's cooling-off feature to take a break from betting for a set period:

24H
24-Hour Break
Enable it from Settings. You'll still be able to access your account, but placing bets will be disabled.
1 Week
One-Week Break
Betting is fully paused for seven days. Step back, clear your head, and make decisions with a fresh perspective.
1 Month
One-Month Break
A longer break gives you the opportunity to reflect on your betting habits.
6 Weeks
Six-Week Break
Maximum cooling-off period. If you wish to return after this period, you will need to reactivate your account yourself.

5 Self-Exclusion — Long-Term Protection

If you feel a temporary break isn't enough, you can join the self-exclusion program. It's williamhill's most powerful responsible gaming tool.

How does self-exclusion work?

  • Duration: 6 months, 1 year, 5 years, or permanently — your choice.
  • Impact: Access to your account will be completely blocked.
  • Marketing Off: All promotional communications will be stopped automatically.
  • Lifting the restriction: Except for permanent exclusion, you'll need to wait an additional 7 days after the period ends before returning.

Contact Support to start self-exclusion, or go to the "Responsible Gambling" section in your account settings.

💡 Tips

During self-exclusion, it's best to avoid attempting to log in to the williamhill app or site. Use this time to connect with family or friends and seek professional support.

6 Family Protection

If someone in your household is a minor or struggling with online betting, there are steps you can take to protect them:

  • Never share your account password with anyone.
  • Use parental control software on your devices.
  • Have an open conversation with your family about the risks of betting.
  • If you have any concerns, contact williamhill Support — we will look into it.

Please note that williamhill verifies age at registration — no one under 18 can open an account. If you have any concerns, let us know.
