Advantages and disadvantages

William Hill Bookmakers

As you would expect from a bookmaker with 17,000 employees, the sports betting options at William Hill are extensive. They cover all the world's major sports as well as all sorts of lesser known sports. These include football, basketball, American football, hockey, cricket, rugby, motorcycling, darts, GAA football, hurling and many more.

If a sport is being played anywhere in the world, there's a good chance William Hill will offer real money betting on it. Each sport at William Hill is also covered in great detail. International leagues, country-specific leagues and Olympic events are all available with a wide variety of bets.

Games large and small are covered by a few different bets. In some cases, you'll see a few dozen bets on a single event. For example, I just saw a Uruguay vs. Jordan soccer match that had 24 different bets. Keep in mind that's just for one event.

In addition to regular sports betting, William Hill also offers live in-play betting. This part of the site allows you to place short-term bets that are opened and closed as the game progresses. A common live bet at William Hill is a quick bet on who will score the next goal. Another example would be a bet on whether or not there will be a goal scored by either team within the next 5 minutes.

Casino Games

The William Hill Casino consists of over 200 different games. Many of the games are in the form of slot machines, but you'll also find table games, card games and video poker. Basically, any game you would expect to find at a major resort casino can be found at WilliamHill.com.

You can play the casino games on the William Hill website or by downloading the full software package. The instant play option works fine, but the speed and quality of the graphics are noticeably better when the full software is downloaded and installed. Graphically, the casino here is well above average.

As far as slots go, they have a little bit of everything. You'll find traditional reel slots as well as the latest in video slots. Many of the video slots at William Hill are licensed to use themes based on Marvel Comics and major Hollywood movies. Some examples include Spiderman, Gladiator, Iron Man 3 and even Baywatch.

William Hill also has a live casino with real human dealers and streaming webcams to bring the casino experience to your computer. Using live video and real dealers, the site gives you an experience that mimics a real casino. The basic idea is that you use your mouse and keyboard to place bets, and then the dealer handles the cards and chips.

Online Poker

William Hill Poker is on the iPoker network and has a huge player base. This is one of the largest poker networks in the world and that means you'll find plenty of action at all levels. Cash games, tournaments and SNGs are all offered at a variety of stakes.

The poker software is as high quality as you would expect from a site as successful as William Hill. Slowdowns and disconnections are almost unheard of. The graphics are crisp and clean, making it easy to see what's going on. Multi-tabling is also a breeze.

William Hill's tournament scene is bustling with over 40,000 tournament players logged in at peak times. Tournament types include

• Single table tournaments
• traditional multi-table freezeouts
• Omaha tournaments
• rebuys
• knockouts
• and more;

In many cases, the prize pools reach upwards of $200,000.

The same goes for cash games. You can get started with a small bankroll in the penny-stake games or join the high-stakes tables where $1,000 bets are common. Texas Holdem is by far the most popular cash game style, but you'll also find plenty of Omaha action thanks to the strong European presence at William Hill.

Last but not least, William Hill Poker has a 200% signup bonus for all new players. When you sign up and make a deposit, you'll get 200% matched on your first deposit. You can get up to $1200 this way. The bonus will then be released in £5 increments as you play real money games at William Hill.

Bingo

Log on at any time during the day and you'll find thousands of people to play with (and against). This makes for busy games and larger-than-average jackpots.

The bingo software uses bright colors and a simple design to make it easy to play. All the major forms of bingo are available, including 75 ball, 80 ball and 90 ball bingo. William Hill also has multi variant bingo games that allow you to mix it up without having to join multiple rooms.

An ever changing line-up of promotions helps to keep the action going week after week at William Hill. Some of these events include £100,000 prize draws, free cards, guaranteed prize pools and second chance runner-up games for those who get knocked out early.

New players at William Hill Bingo receive a £40 bonus. To receive this bonus, sign up for an account and spend at least £10 on cards within the first 7 days. After that you'll get £40 credited to your account which you can use to buy more cards and hopefully win more money.

Other Gambling Options at William Hill

The William Hill website has added a number of other gambling options in recent years. One of these new options is an area dedicated to skill games. In these games, you play against other players rather than against the house. If you are skillful enough, you can actually win money on a consistent basis with these games.

Some of the skill games include heads-up blackjack, backgammon, dominoes and gin rummy. The heads-up blackjack game is a unique one that I haven't seen anywhere else. In this game, you and another player place a bet before the game. You are then both dealt cards from identical shoes and play those cards against the dealer. The player with the most chips at the end of the game wins the original wager.

Virtual Sports Betting

Another gambling option at William Hill is Virtual Sports. In this area you place your bets as you normally would, except that the games are completely virtual and random. The advantage of virtual sports is that you can play through entire seasons in under an hour. The house has a built-in advantage here, but the game is random enough that you have a chance of winning on any given day.

Financial Betting

In addition, William Hill has added a financial betting interface that allows you to bet on FOREX, commodities and market indices. You never actually own the underlying assets when you bet here. Instead, you take positions on whether certain assets or indices will rise, fall or stay the same in value over 5 minute, 1 hour or daily intervals.

Depositing and Withdrawing

William Hill has dozens of deposit and withdrawal methods, all of which are easy to use. This is one of the largest gaming institutions in the world and they have payment processing down to a science. Both deposits and withdrawals are processed quickly and in many cases are free for customers.

You can deposit and withdraw using your credit card, debit card, PayPal, Entropay, bank transfer, Ukash, Skrill and many more. William Hill also offers country specific deposit options that work with the largest banking institutions in those countries. These other options allow players to send and receive money in their local currency with minimal delays.

All in all, I have no major complaints about William Hill. With 80 years of experience behind them, the people at William Hill know how to run a quality betting operation. You can't go wrong with an account here.
