Founded in 1934, William Hill is one of the oldest and most renowned UK bookies. The company had an interesting and eventful past, and the several acquisitions of William Hill in the past caused the company to be in the public eye. It is one of the few companies which has its headquarters within Great Britain, or London’s Wood Park to be more specific. They also have premises in Leeds, as well as the Republic of Ireland and Gibraltar. William Hill currently employs over 16,000 people and the company owns 2300 licensed betting shops throughout the UK.
Great Bonuses on Football and Other Sports
All new players that decide to register an account with William Hill a greeted with a welcome bonus in the form of a free bet. The amounts have varied in the past and the current offer is £20. Twenty quid for nothing, that sure sounds great, doesn’t it?! And if you want to be a recipient of such a bonus, you will need to register an account with William Hill and enter the promo code – F20. Once you do that you’ll need to make your first deposit and place your first bet. You’ll have to deposit and place a bet of at least £20 in order to qualify. You can place a single or a multiple bet, no limits there, but the selections you pick have to be over 1/2. Odds on multiple selections are calculated cumulatively. Once a qualifying bet has been placed, you will directly receive your £20. You can then use the amount, but make sure you do it within 30 days, because after that period the offer will no longer be valid.
Accumulator ways are probably the easiest and fastest way to earn a lot of money with a small stake. As you probably know, every straight line multi bet with at least 4 selection is considered accumulator. In order to win all selections have to win, so you can’t make even a single mistake. However, at William Hill you will get your money back if only one selection is a miss. If you place an accumulator bet of up to £50 with over 6 selections and one of them fails you will get your money back as Free Bet. The amount will be credited by midday on the following day and you will have 7 days to redeem it.
If you fancy acca bets like I do, William Hill offers another perk. Namely, all accumulator bets with 6 or more than six selections on Match Betting, Match Result and Both Teams to Score and Both Teams to Score markets will be awarded an additional cash bonus up to £500. Bonus amount may vary and it depends on the number of selections and the total winning amount. With 6-8 selections you’ll get a 10% bonus, whereas with 9-11 the bonus percentage is 15%. 24 or more selections will earn you a 40% bonus.
Goalscorer bets are becoming an extremely popular. They often offer pretty high odds and sometimes you just feel that a player who is on a scoring streak will score in a given match, or you just want to back your favourite player, hoping that he’ll score. However, it is not a rare occurrence to see a player being substituted in the middle of the match due to injury, fatigue or some other reason. With the Super Sub bonus offer, any Goalscorer bets you’ve placed on a player will be transferred to a substitute. So, for example, if you bet Sturridge to score two or more goals for Liverpool and he scores one and is then substituted for Origi who goes on to score a goal as well, your selection would be a win, even if Sturridge only scored one goal and you will get the original odds that were valid when you placed the bet.
Furthermore, if you have placed a bet on a player being the first goalscorer and he only scores the second goal of the match, you will get your money back as a Free Bet, up to £50. William Hill also offers a Money Return Free Bet on Correct Score and Double Result Bets which end in a goalless draw, again up to £50.
As for horse racing and greyhounds fans, William Hill employs a ‘Best Odds Guaranteed’ policy where regardless of any odds changes after you’ve placed your bet, your winnings will be calculated counting the odds that are in your favour.
Sports Betting, TV Specials and Politics
William Hill’s betting offer includes a variety of sports, starting from sports that are considered major and are very popular in the UK such as football, cricket and horse racing, but also sports such as basketball, ice hockey and volleyball. In fact, you can bet on events from more than 25 sports. In addition, you can also place bets on non-sporting events such as politics and the so called TV Specials. For example, you can bet whether London will be Labour or Tory led after the next mayoral elections, whether the next US President will be a Democrat or a Republic, or who will be crowned as UK’s next Monarch.
Once you log in, or just open William Hill’s sports betting website you will be able to see the major events that take place on that particular day. Alternatively you can browse an individual sport, or even a particular competition. But there is a lot of variety when it comes to markets offered for a particular event, especially if the event in question is a football match. You can choose from a range of over 235 bets for almost every football match featured on William Hill. So not only can you bet on which team is going to win or whether both teams will score or not, but you can also bet whether or not there’s going to be a penalty and whether or not there’ll be a corner awarded in the opening 5 minutes.
In-Play Betting and Free William Hill TV
I’ve mentioned above, there’s hardly a sporting event that is not featured at William Hill. Pre-match betting though is only one aspect, as you are also able to place bets on events even after they’ve began. In-Play bets can be very lucrative. Imagine a situation where the favourite concedes an unfortunate early goal, yet you are still convinced they can make a come-back. The odds will be a lot more favourable compared to the odds prior to the beginning of the match. And if you want to place a multi bet but only one of the matches has already started, don’t worry because you can combine selections from live and upcoming matches.
As long as you have a positive account balance you can even watch events live, directly on William Hill TV and you won’t be able to pay anything. It’s just like gaining access to a great sports television programme, for free.
William Hill on Your Mobile
What if don’t have your laptop with you and there are no betting shops around either, yet you want to make a bet?! Mobile betting is the solution. Just open William Hill in your mobile browser and you will be able to log in and start betting. For iPad and iPhone owners there’s an additional option as they can download an iOS mobile betting app directly from the website. Mobile betting is really great as it gives you fast access to everything you need and you can even watch live events on your mobile or tablet.
