Overview
William HillWilliam Hill Poker was established in 2002 and belongs to one of the oldest and largest bookmakers in the U.K. It is on the popular iPoker network. An extraordinary $16 million in prize money is guaranteed every month on the network.
William Hill Poker is a popular poker room for British players (and European players in general), making the busiest traffic time during European peak hours.
Bonus
First time depositors receive a 100% bonus up to £650. The bonus will be displayed as dollars on the software lobby. When this review was written, £650 was worth around $1,050. Since virtually no one deposits that large of an amount, William Hill's bonus is effectively 100% of whatever you deposit.The bonus is released in $5 increments for every 350 WH Points earned. This amounts to around a 43% refund on tournament entry fees. Players have 60 days to clear any remaining bonus money.
Promotions
William Hill runs a lot of nice promotions. They are regularly adding cash bonuses and jackpots based on play. The site is pretty aggressive about sending its players to live tournaments around the world.Tournaments
There are a ton of tournaments with guaranteed prize pools at William Hill. Their largest tournament is a Sunday $200,000 event with a buy-in of $200+$15. All told, the iPoker Network guarantees some $16 million in tournament prize pools every month.A strong selection of sit-n-gos are available, including jackpot tournaments that award big payouts to players who win a certain number of tournaments in a row. For example, there is a $25,000 jackpot to anyone who wins 6 consecutive $20+$3.50 6-max tournaments. Notice that the increased entry fee for these jackpot sit-n-gos render them a bad investment for players of nearly every skill ability.
Software
William Hill's software is generally top notch. The graphics aren't the best in the industry, but all of the other software features are nice and functional. Games in the lobby can be filtered with a great deal of precision. The pop-up hand history feature is great for analyzing hands.Screenshots:
