William Hill Poker Review

What started as an Irish sports bet is now one of the most recognisable names in the UK’s gaming industry. The combination of the strong brand, backed by the massive network of players that is the iPoker network, means that traffic is constantly high and competition is easy. Perfect for the casual beginner and the seasoned pro alike; William Hill Poker is a match for everyone.

Software

Partnered with Playtech's poker network giant, iPoker, William Hill Poker offers a humongous pool of players to compete as well as tables advantageous for players of all experience levels. William Hill's poker offering makes use of modern graphics and 3-D rendering which makes the experience even more enjoyable.

Networks

User Experience

The lobby is fun and easy on the eyes. The lobby is easy to navigate through, and the in-table designs are shy of excellent. With a variety of avatars to choose from and a selection of customizable tables and graphics, you should feel right at home.

Cash Games and Tournaments

Cash games are William Hill's strong point. Backed with the iPoker network, it has an average of 8,000 players and at peak times can reach up to 13,000 players on the tables.

Tournaments are rather infrequent and usually not so large at William Hill, but the advantage is that there usually is a selection of qualifiers to live events that run in co-operation with live casinos around the country.

Game Variety

William Hill Poker does not offer a great variety of games, but does offer Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo and Seven Card Stud, at which you can find low stakes cash games and small buy-in tournaments.

Competition Level

With such a vast amount of players, you can be sure to meet a variety of playing standards throughout the tables. Our advice is to keep to the low stakes cash games and tournament buy-ins under £30, and you should find the average competition quite easy.

Promotions

William Hill has an appealing promotion programme where they will match your sign up bonus by 100% up to $600. The problem with this is that, unlike other poker sites, the bonus isn’t unlocked until you achieve all the points you require, instead or releasing cash-outs in increments of $10, $20 or $50.

There’s first time deposit freerolls running weekly with $1,000 given away and if you manage to climb their VIP scheme you could be entering freerolls of up to $25,000 guaranteed.

Support and Banking

William Hill provides 24/7 support via phone, email, live chat, fax, and other services. Support for premium players has been known to be an issue but there is no proper segregation of Support for different grades of players.

With such a prestigious history you can bet that your money is safe with William Hill, with a variety of deposit and withdrawal methods, you will probably find a way of completing your deposits and withdrawals.
