William Hill Poker Review
William
Hill is one of the largest bookmakers in the UK founded in 1934.
It has been bought and sold several times, but now is publically
listed on the London Stock Exchange (LSE Ticker WMH). Up until
recently they never put much focus on their poker product, but
lately they have started running some amazing promotions, so we
thought we would check them out.
The William Hill poker software runs on the Cryptologic network,
one of the most recognized poker networks. Unfortunately this
network does not accept US Players, so if you are American you
will need to check out one of our other USA Poker Rooms.
Though the site does not have the traffic of some of the top
poker sites, the competition is much softer. The tournaments
also have bigger overlays than you would find on a large poker
site with smaller fields making it easier to win the top prizes.
One of the really nice features they have at William Hill Poker
is the software is available in a no-download version so you can
play from a Mac or Linux machine. It is easy to move your money
from the Sportsbook or Casino too, making this a one stop
betting shop on the Internet.
Below we will break down some of the key features of the site
and tell you some things you might want to know before
downloading their software.
William Hill Poker Promo Code
To ensure you get the best bonus, when creating your William
Hill account you will be asked for a promo code (short for
promotion code). In this box you just need to put TOPBONUS.
The bonus you will receive will be up to £250 with no minimum
deposit requirement. As you earn MPPs (player points) a portion
of your bonus will be released. See the chart below on how to
clear the £250 promo.
For more information about the promo code and how to clear it,
visit our
William Hill Promo Code page.
Player Competition
The Cryptologic Network offers some of the easiest
competition of any poker site. They attract a lot of new poker
players with their great promotions, and sites like William Hill
draw in a ton of sports bettors through cross promotions with
their world famous betting exchange. Also, many of the feeder
sites for this network are some of the most established casino
sites on the Internet such as InterCasino (the oldest online
casino). This brings in a ton of fish on tilt that think they
have better chances at the poker tables after going down some
money in the casino.
William Hill Rakeback
William Hill Poker does not currently offer
rakeback at this
time. Should this policy change we will provide you with details
on how you can get rakeback at William Hill in this section.
WilliamHill.com Poker Software
As mentioned before, William Hill uses software designed by
Cryptologic. The software offers most of the standard features,
and to be completely honest is nothing too special. It offers
most of the features you would expect to see, but doesn’t really
do anything over the top.
Poker Game Variety
William Hill Poker offers Texas Hold'em, Omaha Hi-Lo, Omaha
Hi, and Seven-Card Stud Hi and Hi/Lo in both Pot Limit/No Limit
and Limit formats. Stakes range anywhere from $0.10/$0.25 all
the way to £100/£200.
William Hill Poker Player Traffic
The traffic at William Hill is predominately focussed on the
Texas Holdem tables. Traffic levels are focussed around UK
times, so players from North or South America might not find too
much action if they log in too late. More big name sites like
William Hill have joined the network recently, so this traffic
should continue to rise.
Support
William Hill Poker has a very high quality of support. They
offer toll-free telephone and e-mail support 24 hours per day.
Security
There are no known security issues to date with William Hill Poker.
