Why Play at William Hill Poker?

WILLIAM HILL POKER SUMMARY 

---

William Hill joined the poker game back in 2002 and spent its first half-decade scooping up players from its casino and sportsbook. Of course, it wasn’t just attracting fishy players. It was also establishing itself as a safe and trusted poker site for all European players. William Hill then decided to join the iPoker network in 2009 and expand its playerpool. That was a great move as it’s been buzzing with activity ever since.

Age is a sign of trust in this business, so, in other words, your poker funds are as safe with William Hill as they would be in any bank. Being licensed and regulated means William Hill games run according to the same regulations as a live casino.

The iPoker network is one of the busiest poker venues in the world and, in general, has weak players, which is a plus when you’re looking for the next online poker site to try. As of 2020, the iPoker network hosted 18 sites. Each one is a unique entity but they share certain features, including cash game and tournament playerpools. This means William Hill Poker has the backing of a major network as well as its own history within the industry.

Indeed, one of the main benefits of being on the iPoker Network alongside Ladbrokes Poker, Bet365, and so on, is that William Hill gets access to major tournaments. For example, in 2020, iPoker hosted the Royal Series with a guarantee topping $300,000. In 2021, it ran the Bounty Hunter series with a guarantee of more than $1 million. Will Hill customers had access to both of these festivals, as well as satellites costing as little as $0.10. 

The only thing William Hill Poker doesn’t offer (at the time of writing) is something for US poker players. As a company, William Hill USA has licenses in various states, including New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. However, these licenses are for sports betting and casino gaming. But, who knows, there may come a time when it uses these licenses to offer something more.

PROMOTIONS & BONUS INFORMATION

---

The William Hill Poker welcome bonus allows you to take full advantage of this operator’s selection of products. Once you use our sign-up link via PLAY HERE, you’ll receive the following:

• €6 Twister SNG Discovery Pack (3X €1 tickets for Age of the Gods Twisters + 3X €1 tickets for standard Twisters)
• £100 Bonus Money
• 10 Free Spins

Like all William Hill Poker bonus offers, the welcome reward has certain terms and conditions attached to it. However, what’s great about this bonus promotion is that the size of your reward isn’t dependent on the amount you deposit. As long as you credit your account with at least £10, you’ll receive the aforementioned package. 

Other online poker sites don’t have this system in place. For example, PokerStars has a 100% deposit multiplier. This means your opening deposit forms the basis of your bonus payout. There’s nothing wrong with this. However, William Hill Poker UK does things in a different way and, in our opinion, a way that’s better for novices. 

William Hill Poker Bonus Code and Payout

No William Hill promo code is required for this offer. All you have to do is use our William Hill Online Poker download link via the PLAY HERE button below, create an account, and make a deposit. Once you’ve created your William Hill login and added some funds to your account, the bonus will be released. 

Your £100 bonus is allotted in full, regardless of how much you deposit, and is redeemed in two stages:

• First £10 of the bonus: £5 for every 280 WH Points generated
• Remaining £90: £5 for every 350 WH Points generated

To get the full bonus you must meet the clearing requirements within 45 days. Finally, anything you win from the Twister SNGs is yours to keep, while your free slot wins will be subject to a 40X playthrough and capped at £20.

William Hill poker Loyalty Program

In describing the William Hill new customer offer, we mentioned points. You need to earn William Hill Points (WHPs) to release your bonus credits. The way you do this is by playing for real money. Each time you pay £/€1 in cash game or tournament rake, you’ll earn 14 WHPs (or 9 WHPs for every $1 raked). As you accumulate WHPs, you’ll move up the loyalty ladder and improve your Club status. 

Everyone starts at Level 1, as you’d expect. You need 25 WHPs to reach Level 2, 200 for Level 3 and so on. There are six levels in total, and each one unlocks extra benefits. As well as access to better William Hill Poker freeroll events, a higher ranking will get you bigger reload bonuses and multipliers. The latter is the most important because it means you earn more points for less work. 

For example, at Level 1, you’ll get 1 Club Point (CP) for every 1 WHP you earn. It’s the same at Level 2. However, once you get to Level 3, you’ll receive 1.1 CP for every 1 WHP you earn. This continues right up to Level 6 where you’ll get 2 CPs for 1 WHP. That’s important because you can spend CPs in the VIP store. Thus, you’re getting more for less as you move up the rankings. 

William Hill Poker loyalty rewards come in two main forms: cash or tickets. You can purchase cash bonuses worth between €10 and €2,500. Although it depends on your VIP status, this loyalty scheme allows you to get a William Hill Poker rakeback rate of 26.6%. We worked this out in the following way:

• The top cash bonus of €2,500 costs 187,500 points
• A player at Level 6 would have to rake €9,375 to earn that many points (187,500 / 20)
• 2,500 / 9,375 = 0.266 X 100 = 26.6%

William Hill Poker Promotions

As part of the iPoker network, William Hill Poker promotions are frequent and can be lucrative. They will, however, change on a regular basis. However, there are some constants. For example, in addition to the deposit bonus, new players also get access to freerolls. These run in tandem with VIP freerolls that you can get access to via the William Hill Loyalty Club. The majority of freerolls on William Hill Poker feature prizepools of up to $1,000 but have super-soft competition and are easy to get into the money. 

Another William Hill Poker promo to look out for is the Monday Top Up. This deal allows you to get up to €5 in cash every week. All you have to do is opt in and play. Each time you earn 50 WHPs on a Monday, you’ll bank €0.50. At the end of the day, your points total will be recorded and you’ll receive a cash payment based on your activity.

The final William Hill poker offers to look out for are its €12,500 Twister Races. The premise is simple: play as many Twister S&G tournaments as you can. You'll earn points based on your performance and the SNG’s entry fee. For example, if you win a €1 Twister, you’ll receive 2 points. If you lose a €1 Twister, you’ll receive 1 point. At the top level (€100 Twisters), you’ll get 200 points for a win and 100 for a loss.  At the end of the week, the top point-scores will be listed on the leaderboard and win a share of €12,500.

POKER GAME VARIETY

---

William Hill Poker has a solid spread of poker games with stakes available at most betting limits. Texas Hold'em, Omaha and Stud are all spread. As you might expect, action is steadiest at the Texas Hold’em tables. Cash games are available at limits starting at .01/.02 and going all the way up to $200/$400 for NL games. William Hill Poker also caps most of its table rake at 5% of the pot and doesn't take rake if a hand does not reach the flop. For NL and PL games, rake is capped at $3 for games up $10/$20 and $5 for games with limits of $25/$50 and up.

Tournaments

If you're a tournament player, you'll find plenty of options on William Hill Poker. Some of the big events on the site include the €200 Daily Big Classic with a €6,000 guarantee and the €10,000 guaranteed Big Sunday Classic. Alongside high stakes events, the William Hill Poker schedule contains MTTs costing as little as €0.20. If that’s not cheap enough, you’ll also find freerolls for newbies and existing players. 

Beginners Freerolls -- Daily at 13:00, 16:00, 18:00, 21:00, 00:00, 02:00

If you’re hungry for more action, weekly William Hill Poker tournaments are supplemented by larger MTT festivals. For example, during our William Hill Poker review, the MPS series was taking place. Buy-ins for these events started at €5 and went up as high as €1,000. As well as the prestige of winning a major MTT, MPS events had prizepools topping €200,000.

Satellites

William Hill Poker online is home to a bustling satellite schedule. As well as qualifiers for major online events, such as MPS and the Bounty Hunter Series, you can win a place in live tournaments for less than €1. From European festivals like the Irish Poker Open to the World Series of Poker (WSOP) in Las Vegas, Will Hill has plenty of ways for you to enjoy the big time for less. 

William Hill Speed Poker

Fast-fold poker at William Hill is known as Football Stars and it’s available in one format: €0.10/€0.20 No Limit Hold’em. Like similar products at other sites, you’re moved to a new table each time you fold your hand. This, of course, affects the way you play, but it increases the number of hands you get per hour. It’s also immensely entertaining. You get more action per minute, which is great. Of course, you miss out slightly on developing reads on other players. However, the thrill of being in the action all the time is worth it. It's also the perfect poker variant for single-tabling on the go with your iPhone or tablet.

William Hill Poker - Twister Poker

The other "gimmicky" form of poker that's swept the industry over the past few years is of course the Jackpot Sit & Go - a turbo-paced SNG with a prize pool multiplier spun before every tournament. William Hill Poker's variant is called "Twister Poker" and they run three-handed. Just like PokerStars' Spin & Gos and 888poker's Blast Poker, the prizepool is randomly multiplied before the first hand is dealt. The top prize pool can be up to 1,000x the buy-in which definitely makes it worth your while to take a stab at them.

As an added extra, William Hill offers themed Twisters. The “Wild” Twister costs just €0.50 and has a €50 tournament ticket as its top prize. The other themed SNGs are Age of the Gods Twisters. These are based on the popular jackpot slot series, Age of the Gods. As well as standard prizes, these games give you the chance to win a progressive jackpot that could be worth €500,000+ for as little as €1. 

William Hill Casino & Sportsbook

If you like to have a bit of a punt in the casino while you're playing poker (or taking a break from your game or tournament) William Hill obviously has a lot of options to choose from. The William Hill Casino has over 350 casino games and a dazzling amount of variations including slots, blackjack, roulette, table games, progressive jackpots, and live dealer games. The sportsbook is even more dazzling with an array of betting options on professional sports, eSports, horse racing and dozens more.

SOFTWARE & GRAPHICS

Notification Center Add-On

The app has an additional feature known as the notification center. This is an optional add-on that you can select or deselect during the William Hill Poker download process. If you choose to use it, you’ll receive push notifications on your computer or mobile. Some people will find this feature too intrusive, others will like the way it keeps you up-to-date with the latest updates and offers.

William Hill Poker Mobile App

Alongside our William Hill Mac download link, Apple fans can get the iOS app. This means you can access a full range of cash games and tournaments via your iPhone or iPad. Alternatively, if you’re a Google Play kind of person, you can get the William Hill Poker app for Android devices. Whichever one you use, the software is designed for speed and efficiency. 

For example, there will be a quick seat option that allows you to enter certain variables and be taken directly to a game matching your preferences. Similarly, the William Hill Poker software works with your mobile’s capabilities. This means you can tap and swipe to make bets, take your seat, and find games. And, what’s more, you can swap standard passwords for TouchID and Face ID.

TRAFFIC AND SOFT COMPETITION

---

The William Hill Poker network is part of iPoker, which has one of the largest playerpools in the world. Although it’s not as busy as PokerStars, GGPoker, and Winamax, iPoker averages 1,100 cash game players per day and has a 24-hour peak of 2,850. One point to note is that iPoker is a European network. Therefore, it’s only open to players in certain European countries and the UK. At the time of writing, it wasn’t available in the US. 

Most of the action takes place at the micro-stakes No Limit Hold'em tables. However, iPoker does attract high-stakes players when there are major tournaments running. Finally, at peak times, you’ll find a decent amount of Pot Limit Omaha action, particularly at $50 PL and $100 PL.

Overall, the selection of games is solid. Will Hill Texas Hold’em poker tables are going to be your best option. However, you will find a bit of PLO action, as well as some low stakes 6+ Hold’em games. In terms of competition, games are soft during peak hours because William Hill’s sports bettors and casino customers like to cross the divide. Therefore, if you’re able to stand the swings, you’ll find a lot of loose action both in cash games and tournaments.

WILLIAM HILL POKER DEPOSITS & WITHDRAWALS

---

As William Hill is officially licensed and regulated in the UK, depositing and withdrawing money online is a simple process. For starters, it's as secure as making any online purchase with proper encryption and SSL security.

Every withdrawal has to go through a security review. This typically takes no more than 24 hours. Therefore, you should receive your winnings within one to seven days, depending on the method you use. If you have any concerns about an ongoing withdrawal, all you have to do is contact the William Hill customer support and they’ll look into it for you.

HOW TO SET UP A WILLIAM HILL POKER ACCOUNT

---

Setting up a William Hill Poker account is quick. As with any poker site, though, you need to provide some key info before you can get started at the tables. After you've downloaded and installed the software, you'll be walked through the registration process for a few minutes. Once all of your general information is filled out (name, age, address, etc) you'll need to prove your of the legal age (18) and provide a supporting document such as a

• Passport
• Driver's Licence
• National ID card
• Birth Certificate

Since it takes about 24 hours to have birth certificates verified, a passport or ID card are your best options. After having your account registered and verified, you'll need to fund your account either via credit card (instantaneous) or through any of the above mentioned banking methods. If you do pick a bank transfer you will have some wait time before your deposit can be verified.

OUR OVERALL WILLIAM HILL POKER RATING

---

William Hill might be better known as a sportsbook and, more recently, a casino operator. However, it’s been in the poker business for more than a decade. Even though it sits just outside of the upper-echelons of the industry, it still offers some fantastic features. Indeed, as a member of the iPoker network, it has a steady stream of traffic as well as some lucrative MTTs. Add to this innovations such as Twister SNGs and fast-fold poker, and there’s something for everyone. In fact, from our perspective, we think this is a great online poker site if you’re a newbie or casual player.
