Player's complaint
The UK Gambling Commission concluded the largest enforcement settlement in regulator history against three William Hill Group entities in 2023 — a £19.2 million package covering both William Hill's online and retail estates. The investigation surfaced systemic failures in social-responsibility code provisions (operators interacting with at-risk customers too slowly or not at all), AML monitoring (insufficient checks on high-spending customers' source of funds), and inadequate response to player-protection flags. Several individual customer cases were cited as examples within the broader investigation. The settlement was made in lieu of a licence review.
