William Hill Review

William Hill is licensed by the Gibraltar government, under the Gambling Act 2005 and have a license to operate in the UK from the UK Gambling Commission.

Two organizations therefore cover the regulation of the activities of William Hill and provisions are put in place by both to ensure:

These licenses ensure that:

• All minors under the age of 18 are unable to access any gambling activities conducted on this site.
• All bets are treated fairly and all acts by the company are fair and transparent.
• Any person developing a gambling problem is assisted in the best way that the company can.

You don’t get much better when it comes to a reputation for providing a fair gambling environment with William Hill. They’ve been serving punters since 1934 for gods sake! Bottom line here… don’t worry about getting paid out on winning bets or how safe your account balance is, William Hill are rock solid.

How To Deposit Money To William Hill?

Depositing at William Hill is a quick and easy process, made simpler by the sheer number of different deposit options available on the site (shown in the table above).

To add funds, simply log into William Hill and click on the yellow Deposit button. This will bring up a pop up which will allow you to select which payment method you want to use out of those available to you.

Enter the amount you want to deposit, plus any other payment details you are requested and then click the green Deposit button.

The funds should be in your account instantly.

How To Withdraw From William Hill?

When you want to make a withdrawal from your account, simply click on your Cash Balance amount and then select the withdraw option from the drop down menu.

You need to make your withdrawal back to a payment method you used previously with William Hill and you may need to provide documentation to verify who you say you are to initiate your first withdrawal.

However, once this is completed then future withdrawals won’t require this verification, which is used to prevent money laundering.

How Long Does It Take To Withdraw At William Hill?

The quickest way to claim a withdrawal at William Hill is with a Visa Direct card, as these withdrawals are processed within four hours, even at the weekends or during bank holidays.

Other forms of withdrawal can take anywhere from around four hours to three days to be completed, depending on the option you select.

• Visa Direct Debit/Credit Card – up to 4 hours
• Other Debit/Credit Cards – 1 to 3 working days
• eWallet Services – 1 working day
• Apple Pay – 3-5 working days
• Bank Transfers – 3-5 working days

In addition to an extensive help and FAQ section, which is distributed across the site conveniently, customer services are available via a dedicated Live Chat service which is available 24/7.

William Hill also operates a strong social media presence and you can contact them via Twitter and also on their Facebook page.

To access any of the support options available at William Hill just hit the ‘Help and Feedback’ link in the top right of the homepage (on desktop) or if using the app click the menu button and scroll to the bottom to see support options.

The only thing we don’t love here is the lack of a direct email address listed for support on their website – not ideal for those who don’t have time for live chat support or have a less urgent query and one of the reasons William Hill reviews less well vs competitors in this category.

William Hill Mobile Review

William Hill offers a dedicated app for its sports betting service which has receive an average score of around 4.6 out of 5 from over 76,000 ratings, which is very impressive.

The app is updated regularly, usually once a month, if not more often, and many of the improvements or tweaks made are at the suggestion of reviewers, which is good to see.

The app itself is very clean and crisply designed. It is clearly polished and it is very easy to navigate using either the search bar, right at the top of the page, or through the icons which link to the various sports markets available.

Placing a bet is very easy too and it is clear that the designers have tries to make the app as user-friendly as possible.

All the major events are easily accessible, while the search bar allows you to find more unusual events. In Play is just a touch of the button away and you can access all the key features of the site.

As Apps go, William Hill’s is a cracker.

William Hill Desktop Review

On the desktop, William Hill’s website isn’t quite as polished looking as their app. Sure, there are a lot of similarities between the two, but what I am not overly keen on is the fact that the designers have crammed so many bets and offers onto the home page, that on a computer it looks cluttered.

There are lots of positives though. The A-Z is accessible directly on the home page, you have links to the most popular forms of betting and offers, as well as a button to go direct to the In Play betting page.

One small gripe with the website is that for some football betting markets, such as the Match Result bet, when the screen is small, the page squeezes the away team off the screen, so you can only see the date and the home team. It would be much better for the date to be shown at the top of the screen, with the home and away teams visible as it makes seeing the fixture tricky on some screens.

There is a lot of great options on the website, but for me, it is not quite as slick as the app.

How To Join William Hill

It’s also important to point out that they’ve got hundreds of different bets per event available. When you compare this to other reviewed bookmakers you’ll see many have 30-40 markets per event where as William Hill are more in the 80-110 range.

The in-play option offered by William Hill is regarding as one of the best online and it has a huge number of different markets available as well as live scores and even the chance to view various games streamed live alongside real time odds.

In game stats are available and detailed which is a big plus – many bookmakers don’t offer or struggle with this feature.

The section is found by clicking on the “In-Play Betting” tab just under all of the sport options and once you click, you will find a highly intuitive and informative page with all of the latest in-play options. The details found include the current odds – which change on an incredibly regular basis – as well as the current score and game stats, which are updated instantly and if the game is being shown live a live stream as well.

Live Streaming at William Hill…

William Hill are one of only a select few online bookmakers who now offer live streams of sporting events to their customers. To watch their live streams, horse racing excluded, you need a funded betting account or to have placed a bet within the last 24 hour period.

To watch horse racing at William Hill you need to have bet a minimum of £1 on the race, a 50p e/w bet would qualify.

Basketball, Football, Cricket and Tennis are the main live sports you’ll be able to view, and live UK and Irish Horse Racing of course, but other more obscure sports are also available. To see the full schedule visit https://www.williamhill.com and click ‘WHTV Schedule’.

Alternatively you can tell which events are being live streamed by looking out for the WHTV (William Hill TV) logo which is found next to the primary event market.

Overall it’s one of the better live sections and one of the only ones around to rival that on offer from Bet365 (who are widely considered to have the best offering in this department).

It’s important to note that live betting via the William Hill app mirrors the desktop options so you don’t lose out by using a particular device – it’s a thumbs up from us.

Our Verdict of William Hill

One of the best most trusted bookies

OUR RATING FOR:

WILLAIM HILL

4.5 | 5

We give every single bookmaker we review a grade between 0 and 5 stars. This grade is to show users how safe and secure the site is as well as gives them an indication as to which we recommended as the best out there.

You’ve probably already noticed (at the top of our William Hill review) that we’ve given them a 4.5 star rating. It’s the second best rating we dish out behind 5 stars so firstly you’d be right to assume that we rate William Hill pretty highly.

They are one of the more cutting edge online bookmakers with live streaming available to users and live betting as well. Their diversity when it comes to odds and markets is good and they’ve got a great reputation in the gambling community world wide.

The only reason they don’t make the 5 star grade for us right now is due to the fact that there are better bookmakers out there when it comes to the generosity of odds on offer and the promotions that are running.

William Hill run a tight, no risk, bookies but it’s often the case that better odds can be found elsewhere. However we’re confident you could quite easily use Will Hill as your only bookmaker and you’d be more than happy with the service provided.
