William Hill Poker Review

Poker has been a feature on the William Hill web site for many years and, since 2008, William Hill Poker has been a member of the iPoker network – with software provided by the poker industry leader Playtech. A strong database of poker players has developed on the site, and although these were initially gamblers who had migrated from the horseracing and sportsbook activities, players are now attracted to the poker element of the bookmaker´s site for the opportunity of playing against some fairly loose operation and to take advantage of a substantial new player´s bonus and a lucrative reward scheme.

William Hill Poker Bonus

The William Hill Poker bonus is a staggering 200% match on your first deposit of up to £1,250 (pounds, not dollars! The William Hill Poker bonus in dollars is 200% up to $2,000!). It is redeemed in increments of $5.00 (dollars!) each time you collect 350 WH Points – the points being awarded to you at the rate of 30 per dollar (45 per £) paid in tournaments entry fees or 6 per dollar (9 per £) on cash ring tables – and you have a generous 60 days in which to clear as much of the bonus as you can. The progress of your William Hill Poker bonus can be tracked in the poker lobby, and once you have cleared the requirement (or the 60 day limit has expired) you can use your WH Points to participate in the William Hill Poker Reward Scheme.

William Hill Poker Rewards

The William Hill Poker Rewards Scheme is an incentive for players to continue playing on William Hill Poker once they have cleared the £1,250 William Hill Poker Bonus. After all, what are you going to do with 131,250 WH Points once you have collected them? The William Hill Rewards Scheme allows you to convert your points to cash, use them as tournaments buy-ins or trade them for William Hill Poker goodies in the online shop. You do not even need to have 131,250 WH Points to take advantage of the scheme, as 3,750 will get you the first level cash transfer and only 500 WH Points will enable you to participate in the rewards program freeroll tournaments.

William Hill Poker Tournaments

As well as hosting the regular iPoker multi table poker tournaments on their site, William Hill Poker is also the home to a number of exclusive tournaments – often with free entry or added prize money. William Hill Poker also offer qualifiers to live land-based poker events (such as the GUKPT and Irish Winter Festival) and a Steps program with low entry levels which culminate in the networks weekly feature tournament – a $200,000 guaranteed freezeout. However, you do not have to wait until the weekends to win a substantial sum in William Hill Poker tournaments, as valuable tournaments take place throughout the week with guaranteed prize pools of up to $50,000.

William Hill Poker Software

The William Hill Poker Software is only available to download to Windows. You can also play William Hill Poker on Linux or Mac using a Windows emulation program. The software provides an excellent platform on which to enjoy the many features that are available on William Hill Poker. One fantastic advantage of the William Hill Poker software is that you can multitable 16 tables at a time with no overlap using either the “mini view” or “bird´s eye view” options – great for racking up the WH Points required to clear the William Hill Poker bonus, and potentially lucrative in terms of winning as well. Dual/Trio lobby window panes enable you to access your tables quicker, fully customisable table settings improve your enjoyment of each game and an enhanced player search facility enables you to track down the fish you have beaten before, or avoid the sharks who you are reluctant to meet again!

William Hill Poker Deposit and Withdrawal methods

William Hill Poker offers a comprehensive variety of options for making your first poker deposit – and almost as many for withdrawing your winnings! With the exception of bank transfers and personal cheques, William Hill Poker deposits are instantly credited to your account and ready to use. William Hill Poker deposits can be made in sterling, Euros or dollars (your William Hill Poker bonus will be adjusted accordingly) and there are dedicated cash tables available for each currency. William Hill Poker withdrawal requests are processed within a day (Neteller is instant) once security checks have been performed, and no fees are charged for processing your cashout.

William Hill Poker Support

If you should experience any difficulty either depositing or withdrawing funds from your accounts (or have issues over any other matter), the award-winning William Hill Poker support can be contacted by freephone telephone, email or fax. There is also an online chat facility which is available 24/7 to answer any immediate questions you may have in English, Spanish, German, French or Russian. The help section of the web site also has plenty of useful information about playing on William Hill Poker and, if you need a helping hand or a little advice about your game, there is a handy “How to Play Poker” guide among the support pages.

William Hill Poker Summary

The days of encountering schools of fish on the William Hill Poker site are long gone, but so have the infuriating suckouts too. What is left is a smooth poker client with an excellent choice of games and tournaments, and a healthy reward scheme for playing on the site. The major attraction of course is the superb £1,250 / $2,000 William Hill Poker bonus, which you can take advantage of by clicking on the link below, downloading the software and registering your account.
