This attractively-designed site focuses on poker. Users must download software in order to start playing.
Promotions and bonuses
First-time visitors may be a little bit startled by the somewhat aggressive promotions/recruitment approach used by this website. For instance, a dialog box asking if you would like to download the software pops up as soon as the site loads. However, if you are unsure, you can simply click “No” and explore the site before making your decision. Once you get past that initial surprise, you will find the promotions quite interesting.
New users can get a bonus of £400 or $600. The answer of who gets the better deal (users of American dollars vs. those who transact with British pounds sterling) changes depending on the exchange rate at the time. William Hill offers seasonal bonuses for Christmas and the New Year, to make the holidays a little sweeter. The VIP scheme for long-term users should be a powerful inducement to stick around.
Casino's Games
If you are the type of person who demands a huge amount of games on one website, you might find William Hill a little underwhelming. The main offerings are Texas Hold ‘Em, 7 Card Stud, Omaha Poker, and Omaha High Low Poker. However, this seemingly narrow selection comes with a great many auxiliary features.
Furthermore, you can find links to other William Hill gambling websites that offer other games, so you can do a lot more exploring without leaving the system. Offerings on those other sites include roulette, blackjack, and other casino classics.
The site is a great testament to the fact that you do not need a lot of options if you know exactly what you want. A connoisseur does not need a huge but mediocre buffet, but will prefer a meal of a few courses done very well.
Safety and security
A variety of payment methods are supported. In addition, if you have concerns about the site’s general legitimacy, license information is offered at the very bottom of the home page.
Support
If you have questions, you have multiple contact methods to choose from. For frugal users (or those with sensible concerns about long-distance calls), you can call site staff for free using a number clearly visible on the home page. You can also fill out an email form, if you prefer not to call. In addition, there is an FAQ section for common inquiries. It is advisable to take a look at this page early in your relationship with William Hill, or even before you sign up for an account, so you have an idea of what common issues crop up with using this site. For players who want to brush up on their poker skills, there are various pages giving both the basic rules of poker, plus more advanced strategies.
Language
This site is in English, as is most customer service.
US Players
Despite the fact that transactions on this site often take place in dollars, American users will definitely have difficulty setting up accounts, and may not be able to get this done at all.
