Block William Hill on iPhone
Updated September 2026
Fold'em's web shield blocks williamhill.com, and only while its DNS setting is on. The William Hill app is not on Fold'em's guided checklist, so it is blocked only if you find it in Apple's picker and seal it. No William Hill domain is on the ten site list Fold'em hands to Screen Time, so Safari adds no block of its own.
What Fold'em covers, layer by layer
One app and two sites, measured on 1 September 2026 against Fold'em's guided checklist, the curated list it hands to Screen Time, and the live resolver at dns.foldem.app.
| App or site | Sealed as an app | Safari, through Screen Time | The web shield |
|---|---|---|---|
| William Hill | If you pick it | · | · |
| williamhill.com | · | ||
| williamhill.co.uk | · | Not measured |
In Safari, and in the app
Every name this phone looks up goes to dns.foldem.app for as long as the web shield's DNS setting is on, and that answer reaches every app on the phone rather than Safari alone. On 1 September 2026 it 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 here is a real address again, so the setting is half of what makes this true. The Shield tab's web tile reads On while it is on.
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 this operator 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 an app you sealed and over a website you added yourself in the picker, and over nothing else. The William Hill app is not on the guided checklist, so Fold'em does not name it for you. Search by name in Apple's picker, tick, and seal: the app shield covers the apps you picked and nothing else.
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. It does not cover any William Hill domain this measurement never asked about, and it does not seal an app you never picked: an app filed outside the Games category is covered only by being on your own list. 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.
