The constraints on anomalous Higgs boson couplings are investigated through the process $\gamma\gamma \to W^{+}W^{-}H$. Considering the longitudinal and transverse polarization states of the final $W^{+}$ and $W^{-}$ bosons and incoming beam polarizations, we find 95% confidence level limits on the anomalous coupling parameters $\Delta a_{W}$, $b_{W}$ and $\beta_{W}$ with an integrated luminosity of 500 $fb^{-1}$ and $\sqrt{s}$=0.5, 1 TeV energies. We show that initial beam and final state polarizations lead to a significant improvement on the sensitivity limits of the anomalous coupling parameters $b_{W}$ and $\beta_{W}$.
