William Hill is a site that is on the iPoker Network, one of the more popular poker networks around. All the sites on the network use software made by Playtech, a popular and respected gaming software company. Sites all use the same software, except for small differences in the custom site colors and logos.

The William Hill poker client runs on Windows. The installation is quite simple and straightforward. The lobby is neatly organized and not cluttered. The tables have a cool blue background and a golf field green felt. The user can switch between a 2D view with small pictures for avatars next to opponents user name or a 3D view with large virtual player avatars sitting in chairs around the felt as the poker dealer shuffles and passes out the cards. For players that are only playing a few tables at a time, the 3D view can be a pleasant choice, but for players that play 6+ tables at a time the 2D view is the preferred option.

William Hill will match 200% of a player’s first deposit, up to $2,000.

They have a generous Refer-A-Friend promotion. If a player brings a friend to the site, they will both be rewarded with a free $50 in their account once they both start playing for real-money.

William Hill recently launched a brand new VIP program. Players receive William Hill Points (WH Points) for their play in real-money cash games and tournaments. As one accumulates WH Points, their VIP Rank rises. The VIP Rank starts at Level 1 (High Card) and goes up to Level 10 (Royal Flush). Higher levels earn WH points at a higher rate and get access to exclusive freerolls. Players can also exchange WH Points for cash bonuses deposited into their account.

William Hill offers some fun and unique tournaments. Their Jackpot Sit & Gos are quite popular. They have 4 different types:

• Fort Knox Jackpot Sit 'N' Go

  This tournament costs $50 + $9 to join. It starts once all the tables are filled, each table holds 6 players. Each week, William Hill adds $10K to the jackpot until it is hit! They also pay out a guaranteed 50K to the first player to win 6 games in a row.

• Rio Jackpot Sit & Go

  This tournament costs $20 + $3.50 to join. In addition to the jackpot prize, the player that wins 1st place 6 times in a row will receive a 25K bonus!

• Maui Jackpot Sit 'N' Go

  Unlike the previous tournaments, this Sit & Go seats 10 players per table. The buy-in is much cheaper than the other tournaments at $5 + $1 but there is still big money to be won as there is $3,500 added weekly to the jackpot. The first player to win 5 single-table tourneys in a row will receive a guaranteed $15K prize.

• Dirty Dozen Jackpot Sit 'N' Go

  This Sit & Go only costs $2 + $0.40 to join. 12 players play on 2 tables. If a player wins 4 single-table tournaments they will win a addition $2K to the pot already won.

William Hill features their iPoker exclusive, Speed Poker. This game offers a twist on the standard 6-max No Limit Hold’em games. All the players at a particular stake level are in the same player pool. Anytime a player is seated at a Speed Poker table and they are not in the big blind or there is previous betting action, the Speed Fold button appears. If the player clicks the button, their hand is immediately folded and they are shuffled to another table and instantly dealt a new hand. Speed Poker is about 4 times faster than a standard game of Hold’em!

It is not hard to find a game at this site. Pokerscout reports that the William Hill player pool on average, has about 3,150 players at the cash game tables. Their daily peak, is a little under double that figure.

The player pool at William Hill (iPoker) is slightly better than the average player on other major poker networks. Even though the player pool is slightly better than average, the rewards program offers a much higher return than most other sites.

Due to USA law, people resided in the United States are not allowed to play on this site.
