William Hill Poker Review

William Hill hit the web in 2002, but they were actually founded long before that. In 1934, the company was launched to cater to the land-based sports betting market. Today, William Hill is a publicly traded company with over two thousand betting shops located in The United Kingdom. In a typical day they process over one million bets! Now that they are into online poker, you can be sure that they will bring the same level of customer service and gaming quality to the table that helped them build their gaming empire in the first place.

To give your bankroll a quick boost, William Hill poker is giving up to £400 away to all new players. This is actually a 100% match bonus on your first deposit worth up to a maximum of £400. To make sure you have access to this exciting offer, you should use the bonus code X3X3X3 when signing up and creating your account. Players have 60 days to clear this bonus by playing in real money games, and the funds will be paid out in £5 increments until you've drained the bonus account completely. In addition to this bonus money, there is also a $1,000 freeroll tournament for all players who have signed up and deposited in the past seven days. These games are held every Wednesday.

William Hill's poker room uses Playtech software and is part of the prestigious iPoker network. They offer a variety of games spanning from Texas Holdem and Omaha (Hi/Lo) to Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo and Five Card Draw. Table stakes range from $50/$100 to $0.01/$0.02 and the tables can either seat the full nine players, be set to heads up mode, or be in the shorthanded configuration. No matter what game you want to play, however, there will be more than enough players supplied by the iPoker network. Wait times should be low even during off-peak hours.

Each and every month, William Hill guarantees millions of dollars worth of tournament action. Each Sunday has a $250,000 guaranteed tournament and the big Friday tournament is worth $150,000. One Sunday out of each month sees the stakes go through the roof with William Hill's Monthly Million Dollar Tournament. If you don't want to pay the $500+$35 buy-in, you can spend next to nothing to compete in their daily qualifier satellite tournaments.

With over twenty-five thousand players logged in during peak hours (many playing more than one game at a time), ten thousand of which are in the cash game arena, you don't need to worry about there being enough players around. Softness of the competition varies with the level of the table stakes, but the William Hill online casino and sportsbook allow their players to go directly to the poker room. These players specifically are about as easy as it gets.

All of the biggest and best payment methods can be used to make deposits at William Hill. Try Visa, MasterCard, Moneybookers, Paypal, NETeller, Click and Buy, and Solo. Deposits are displayed instantly and withdrawals should take no more than two business days, with many being processed within twenty-four hours.

Before signing up with any online poker room, you want to make sure they have a reliable support system in place, just in case any issues should arise. Support at William Hill can be accessed by live chat, email, and telephone. Compared to most, the response time is well below average, and there is also a fax number that some players will find very useful.
