William Hill Poker Review
Having been a well-respected bookmaker in the UK since 1934, William Hill launched their own online poker offering back in 2004. Since then, the site has become part of the iPoker Network, meaning there are thousands of other players at the tables at any one time.
The offering from William Hill Poker means that you can jump in and play a multitude of different games both on desktop and on mobile through the iOS an Android apps available.
Welcome Bonus at William Hill
New players at William Hill Poker can look forward to a pretty exciting welcome package. Regardless of how much you deposit (the minimum deposit is £10 which is standard for the industry), you'll get £100 in Bonus Money, as well as a €6 Twister Discovery Pack and 10 Bonus Spins.
£100 Bonus Money
The £100 Bonus Money is unlocked when you make your first deposit of £10 or more and is redeemed in two steps. For the first £10 of your bonus money, you can redeem £5 cash for every 280 William Hill Points (WH Points) that you generate. For the remaining £90 of your welcome bonus, you can redeem £5 for every 350 WH Points generated. You’ll have 45 days to claim your bonus money from the date that you opt in, so this is something to consider when deciding which poker site is best for you.
Twister Discovery Pack
The Twister Discovery Pack gives you 3x €1 Age of the Gods Twister and 3x €1 Twister tickets. Twister Poker is a type of Sit & Go where the winner takes the entire prize pot.
10 Bonus Spins
The 10 Bonus Spins part of the welcome offer is redeemed through the casino games offered by William Hill. To redeem them, you’ll need to open the ‘Casino’ tab within the software. Be aware that the bonus spins will expire if unused within 14 days of opting in to this welcome offer.
Players Club
It's not just newcomers at William Hill Poker that get rewards and benefits – existing players do too. All players can regularly check the Promotions tab to see what’s available to them, and we recommend doing this as there are some great offers that you might otherwise miss if you aren’t on the lookout for them. The Players Club offers seven different Club Status levels, depending on the number of WH Points you have accrued during the month:
Club Status | WH Points Required |
---|---|
1 | 0 |
2 | 25 |
3 | 200 |
4 | 400 |
5 | 1,000 |
6 | 5,000 |
7 | 12,000 |
You earn 14 WH Points for every £1 raked on cash tables.
By reaching Club Status 2 and above, you get access to daily and monthly freerolls that you would otherwise not get access to at Club Status 1. The higher you climb the Club Status ladder, the more different tournaments you’ll get access to. What’s more, you can also Opt-In to William Hill’s Monday Top Up, which means you get €0.50 in cash for every 50 WH Points you earn in a month.
As part of the Players Club, you can also earn Club points that can then be redeemed for either cash (€10 - €2,500 depending on the amount of points) or tickets.

If you prefer to play on desktop, you can download the Poker client to play, as is common practice with major Poker sites. You can, however, play online without having to download the client.

Depositing money at WH Poker is straight-forward and only takes a few seconds. The major banking options are there; Visa, MasterCard, Paypal and Skrill, along with a number of others that have different maximum deposit amounts. Be sure to check that your preferred withdrawal method is accepted before you add any money to your account, as you don’t want to win big money and not be able to receive it! Fast deposits and withdrawals are generally common at William Hill Poker, so be sure to take that into consideration if it’s one of the factors that influence which site you sign up with.
