William Hill is a renowned name in British gambling history, a well respected online site due to a long-lasting reputation. They have been in business since 1934. Part of the iPoker network, they offer poker, casino and sports betting; all regulated and licensed by the UK government. The games are offered in various currencies and their deposit options are very easy to use. Most of their player base are European. They are a top 100 company traded on the London Stock Exchange. Their tutorial on how to play with “fun” money is pretty easy and it allows beginners to really understand how the game of poker is played.
It has easy to withdraw and deposit methods (in different currencies), with a great feature that allows players to use the chain’s betting shops as banks for withdrawing from or depositing into your account. The software is easy to use and the games offered are standard: Texas Hold’Em, Omaha, Seven-Card Stud and Tournaments. It is a great site for beginners, due to the simplicity in design.
Established in Europe and as part of the London Stock market, William Hill carries on their banking and financial affairs according to generally accepted international standards, that even include, company auditing. William Hill adheres to laws applicable to transaction reporting and anti-money laundering regulations and laws. They operate a ‘No Flop No Drop’ policy, which is not taking rake from hands that do not reach the flop.
They are very aware of responsible gambling and even have a feature to limit the amount per deposit to prevent gambling addicts from re-depositing.
William Hill is a room that recently moved to the iPoker network, which also houses other popular online poker rooms such as Betfred and VC Poker. Players will find some of the best poker bonuses available on the iPoker Network.

Support
Support at William Hill is advertised as a three way option: via email, live chat and telephone. However, the live chat has been disabled. Telephone is not toll-free and can be charged depending on the country where you are calling from. The email feature is done through a contact form at the the William Hill site but tends to be a bit slow.
Game Features
Games such as 7 Card Stud, Omaha High and Omaha High/Low, are all offered. However, most traffic is heavily concentrated on Limit and No Limit Hold’em ring games and tournaments. The iPoker Network also has popular beginner tables where players can cut their teeth before hitting the regular tables. Because only new registrants can enter, players will find these tables looser, in general, than standard tables.
This poker site offers great promotions, including rake races and SNG Jackpots. SNGs are available starting as low as 0.10 and run as high as $5000 although these higher stakes obviously have less action. William Hill offers SNGs with as few as 3-5 seats to as many as 50. Because they are on the iPoker Network, there is always good MTT action as well. Many standard MTT buy-ins range from $0.50-$300, with special events as high as $2500, one of which is the popular ECOOP (European Championship of Online Poker).
Players can join up to 16 tables at the same time, which should satisfy most multi-tablers. Also to achieve critical mass, they share platforms with all the other sites on the iPoker Network such as Titan Poker which means players are shared as well. On most days, the iPoker Network is the third most popular network on the net.
Software Features
The William Hill poker site is simple to use. The interface is well thought out with an easy to use the navigation bar. The download is fast and hassle free. They offer disconnection protection; however, it's only available in ring games and not in tournaments.
In general, the site’s software is easy to use, offering decent functionality and performance but no outstanding features. They offer mini-view, automatic hand mucks and with 4 color decks. The layout is very simple, with buttons placed in the standard locations, making it difficult to make betting amount mistakes by accident. The software supports Poker Tracker and Gametime+ software allowing players to easily track their play. Like most sites, they offer a stats button that show how many flops you’ve seen, you’ve folded, won and general info about your action during the session.
The lobby provides avg pot details along with player per flop, hands per hour and a wait list. The waiting list function is useful since lets you select either the specific table you wish to join or the first available using selected criteria such as game type and limit.
William Hill’s poker site is SSL protected. When you log in the padlock appears for a few seconds and then disappears. This is a switch to SSL to encrypt and send your username and password and verify them. Once confirmed, the site loses the padlock to allow a faster site for browsing, as this is essential to the business. Also, when you reach the deposit or withdrawal pages on the site, once again, the padlock will appear for the time necessary to encrypt and send your data. No full card details are ever sent with deposits or withdrawals as they are stored on their system already and details of each transaction are fully encrypted before being sent. They are also Thawte certificate (second largest certification authority).
Player Restrictions
William Hill does not accept players from Germany or the U.S. You may have accounts at all iPoker Network skins assuming there are no restrictions on your country.
