Block William Hill with Fold’em
- Get Fold’em and finish setup. Setup asks you to turn on site blocking and to check your phone for gambling apps, and you can do either later in the Lock tab.
- Turn on site blocking. If you skipped it in setup, tap the pill on Lock, then Sites, then Set up, and Fold’em walks you through the four taps in Settings. While it is on, the Sites page counts the gambling sites blocked in every browser and app.
- Add the app. Tap the pill on Lock, then Apps, then Add apps, and pick William Hill in Apple’s picker.
What Fold’em covers, layer by layer
Two sites for William Hill, measured on 1 September 2026 against the list Fold’em hands to Screen Time and the live resolver at dns.foldem.app.

In Safari, and in the app
On 1 September 2026 the web shield’s resolver, dns.foldem.app, answered williamhill.com with 0.0.0.0, the address for nowhere, so that page never loads in Safari, in Chrome, in Firefox or inside any other app on this phone. It could not be asked about williamhill.co.uk that day, so this page makes no claim about it either way. Switch the DNS setting off and every answer for williamhill.com is a real address again, so the setting is half of what makes this true.
The list Fold’em hands to Screen Time is ten domains long and no William Hill domain is on it, so that layer adds nothing here. In a browser William Hill is covered by the web shield above, and by nothing else.
Fold’em’s own block screen is a third thing and it is neither of the first two: it lands over the apps you chose, over a website you added in Apple’s picker and over the Games category if you turned Games on, and a Lockdown run you start can close every app except Phone and the ones you keep.
Their own self exclusion tools
William Hill lists its tools in one support article. Deposit limits cap the money that can go into the account daily, weekly or monthly. Session time reminders can be set to appear during gaming activity. A Time Out blocks the account for a period, up to 42 days when it is set online, and a full Self-Exclusion starts from six months. Blocking a single product, meaning Gaming, Poker or Bingo, is arranged over Live Chat, and closing the account indefinitely is offered beside it.
The same article sends readers to third party software that stops a device reaching gambling sites, and that is the layer Fold’em sits in. William Hill's controls end at the William Hill login. Fold’em’s block covers the app and the address on this phone no matter which account is signed in.

What this does not do
Fold’em runs on this iPhone and nowhere else: it does not reach a second phone, a laptop, a shop or cash, and it cannot stop an account being opened. This page says nothing about any William Hill domain it did not measure. It claims nothing at all about williamhill.co.uk, which could not be measured that day. The resolver's list is compiled from public gambling lists that change, so 1 September 2026 is the bound on every answer on this page.
