William Hill Review

Why Choose William Hill Poker?

William Hill is one of the most trusted names in UK betting. With decades of experience across sportsbetting, casino and poker, it's no wonder William Hill Poker is home to so many British players.

It remains a solid, if not the biggest, skin on the iPoker network. Its presence on iPoker means the Will Hill customers can enjoy some of the network's amazing festivals and weekly tournaments.

And with so many customers migrating over from a solid Playtech-powered casino, there are lots of fish giving the poker tables a try.

Welcome Bonus

There's currently a great welcome bonus offer for new British Will Hill players. A deposit bonus worth £1,200 is available, with every wagered amount doubled by the site.

As well as a first deposit bonus, there's a nifty 'goodie bag' that includes a £10 bonus for use in over 100 casino side games. If casino games aren't your thing, a "Gifts Palooza" freeroll offers new depositing players the chance to bag an Xbox One or PS4.

Finally, new William Hill Poker players get issued with 100 Club Points (CPs). These can be used to buy in to "Bankroll Builder" tournaments with over €2,500 guaranteed every month.

Software

Powered by Playtech and part of the iPoker network, William Hill boasts one of the most trusted platforms on the net.

The iPoker network has lots of guaranteed tournaments running every week, and side games offers to help you spend your winnings on slots and other promotions. They're not for everyone, and the games can be a distraction, but a few slots flutters can be a fun way to kill a few minutes for poker-weary players.

William Hill now has a BETA site up and running and ready for download. The spangly new Will Hill Poker offers new-look tables, slick games lobby and a customisable 'personal space'. The tournament lobby is completely new-look, and gives a convenient overview on tourney prizepools, structures and buy-ins.

In the new personal space, Will Hill players can sort their favourite games for quicker access, find their achievements, and head to the Cashier quicker.

Customer Support

There's nothing worse than having to phone an overseas Customer Support team for help. Luckily, at Will Hill Poker there's a Freephone UK number where you can speak to an English Customer Service member.

24/7 instant-chat is also available on the site, and you can contact William Hill via email. All previous experience points to a helpful and knowledgeable customer support team at Hills.

Cash Games

Cash games have always been a highlight of the iPoker network. William Hill takes full advantage of cash traffic which regular hits the 5,000 mark.

The most popular games are obviously the low-medium No Limit Hold'em stakes, with plenty of action at the 0.25/0.50 levels.

Tournaments and Sit 'N Go's

William Hill boasts tourney guarantees of around 5 million Euros every month. The Will Hill Poker Series (WHPS) is the big draw and features some big-money Main Events and Sit n' Go's. €15,000 of tourney cash is guaranteed each month. Micro-stakes players and SNG nuts also have the chance to bag some of that money.

On a network scale, the iPOPS (iPoker Online Poker Series) guarantees €100,000+ in prize money. Lower-stakes players aren't left out, however, with buy-ins starting at a lowly €0.20.

On a more regular front, Sunday is the day to log on to William Hill. The 'Sunday Line-Up' boasts a €100K-guaranteed 'Big Sunday' tournament which carries a buy-in of just €75. Players can warm up with the classic €5 freezeout or the Sunday Frenzy with €5 rebuys.

Casual players in the United Kingdom can enjoy some decent daily freerolls too. Four freerolls run each day (three guaranteeing €25 and one guaranteeing €50 in prize money).
