What is Responsible Gaming?

Responsible gaming means staying in control of how you play — not letting the game control you. It's not complicated; it's really just about building a few simple habits.

Responsible gaming at williamhill rests on three core principles:

  • Awareness: Staying aware of your own playing patterns — how long you play and how much you spend
  • Control: Managing yourself through deposit limits, time limits, and breaks
  • Getting Help: Seeking help without hesitation when you need it

Gaming is a form of entertainment — like watching a film or playing cricket. It becomes a problem when it stops being just entertainment and starts affecting other areas of your life. Responsible gaming helps you keep that line in place.

Keep in mind: Gaming should be fun and voluntary — never a means of income or a way to chase losses.

How to Set Limits — Step by Step

Setting limits is straightforward. Just follow the simple steps below:

  • 1
    Set a monthly entertainment budget
    Start with your monthly income and subtract your essential expenses. Take a small portion of what's left — an amount you can afford to lose without it affecting your life — and that's your gaming budget.
  • 2
    Set a deposit limit on your account
    Log in and go to the "Responsible Gaming" section to set a daily or monthly deposit limit. Reductions take effect immediately.
  • 3
    Set a time limit
    Set a daily limit for how long you play. When your time is up, the system will send you a notification.
  • 4
    Review your spending regularly
    Check your account transaction history once a week. It keeps you aware of where you stand.
  • 5
    Tell a loved one
    Let someone you trust know about your gaming budget. It creates a natural sense of accountability.

Keep in mind: Once a limit is set, lowering it takes effect immediately — but increasing it requires a 72-hour waiting period. This is intentional.

Cooling-Off & Self-Exclusion

Sometimes stepping back is the best decision you can make. williamhill offers two separate break options.

Cooling-Off (Temporary Break)

You can temporarily pause your account for anywhere between 24 hours and 6 weeks. During this period:

  • No betting or gaming activity will be permitted
  • Any funds already deposited can be withdrawn
  • The cooling-off period cannot be shortened once active

Self-Exclusion (Long-Term Break)

Close your account for anywhere from 6 months to permanently. During Self-Exclusion:

  • You will not be able to log in to your account
  • No marketing messages will be sent
  • Cannot be cancelled before the set period ends
  • A 24-hour waiting period is required to reactivate your account after the limit expires
To request Self-Exclusion: Help Centre Contact us or email support@williamhill-bd.com. We'll take action within 24 hours.

The Role of Family & Friends

When a loved one has a gaming problem, many people don't know where to start. Here are some practical tips.

What to Do

  • Talk calmly and without judgment — say "I'm worried" instead of "You're a bad person"
  • Mention specific incidents — for example, "You couldn't pay the bills last month"
  • Encourage them to seek professional help
  • Seek help for yourself too — family members are under pressure as well

What Not to Do

  • Don't pay off their debts — it doesn't solve the problem
  • Don't make threats out of anger
  • Don't blame yourself
  • Don't try to handle it alone

Support for family: Family members are also welcome to reach out to the williamhill Help Centre. We support the whole family.
