William Hill Poker is one of the oldest and largest bookmakers in the U.K., providing gambling services offline and online since 1934.

Now part of the booming iPoker network, traffic and promotions at William Hill are first rate, with $16 million in prize money a month now guaranteed on the network.

Multi-currency deposit and play is also available, as is a wide range of games and a great selection of sit-and-gos.

Given its U.K. origins, William Hill Poker is a very popular poker room for European and British players in particular, making the busiest traffic time around European peak hours.

Bigger name pros sponsored by William Hill are also naturally heavily favored towards the Brits, with Roland de Wolfe, Julian Thew and Keith "The Camel" Hawkins leading the list.

Because of the prominent sportsbook presence, the poker tables are filled with relatively wild and loose games. Play in general is considered pretty loose and juicy, with tons of opportunities for easy games, particularly at the micro stakes.

The software has good functionality and the lobby got a well-deserved makeover in 2008, giving it a cleaner and more usable look and making finding tournaments a lot easier.

Games offered at William Hill Poker are Texas Hold'em, Omaha, Omaha Hi-Lo, Seven-Card Stud, Seven-Card Stud Hi-Lo and Five-Card Stud. As an added bonus, William Hill Poker also spreads high-stakes black jack, casino games and sports betting.

Real-money player statistics at William Hill Poker show 55,000 tournament players at peak hours as of November 2009.

Graphics

The graphics aren't the best in the industry for sure, with somewhat crude 3D graphics and avatars, of which you can select from 10 different options.

That being said though, the animations and sounds are all good, with plenty of customization options..

Overall, graphics aren't its strongest feature but not an obstacle to enjoying the action.

Play ability

You can play in cash games, sit n go tournaments, multi-table tournaments and head to head. Stakes start at £0.01/£0.02 and go all the way up to £100/200, so you’re sure to be accommodated no matter what level you play at. There are online poker games played in both US dollars and pounds sterling.

Game variety

William Hill offers a decent range of poker games. Beside the all-pervading Texas Holdem there’s Omaha, both high and high/low, seven card stud and also the more exotic holdem blackjack.

Cash games, MTT and S&G are available, of course. Most tourneys are run in holdem, no-limit or fixed limit, but not exclusively so. Sit and gos are available in holdem blackjack as well.

Stakes range from micro stakes to really high stakes, like £150/300 at the no-limit and pot-limit tables.

Promotions & Bonus

William Hill Poker offer some very nice high-value promotions, a great sign-up bonus, very nice progressive bad-beat jackpots, freerolls exclusive to PokerListings players and a nice loyalty program.
Bad Beat Bonus

If you take a particularly horrible beat with your quad jacks, you can e-mail support and they will credit you $150.

The key is it is not automatic, so remember to fire an e-mail as you are sobbing or cursing your bad beat - you might need that $150 for a new keyboard or three.
Loyalty Program

William Hill Poker offers a multi-tiered VIP club with increasing benefits as you gain WH points.

You gain entries to freerolls, get cash back, get access to the Loyalty Shop, and for the very top levels you get live sponsorships and can play in $10k freerolls.

William Hill Poker awards WHPoints in every hand that is raked and every real money tournament that is played.

In cash games, anywhere from 0.5 to 16 points can be earned per hand depending on the total rake.

5¢-20¢ in rake earns 0.5 points; 25¢-50¢ earns 1.25 points and so on.

For tournaments, the general rule is 20 points per $1 in fees.
Bonus Payout

Bonuses are cleared $10 at a time, with players needing 700 WHPoints to get each $10.

That equals about 235 hands of ring-game poker where the rake taken is $1, or about 35 tournaments where the fee is $1.

Note that at William Hill only hands that see a flop at a cash table are raked.

Payment options

Deposits to your William Hill Poker account can be made by VISA, MasterCard, Visa Electron, Delta, Maestro, Switch, Bank Wire, Personal Cheque, Quick Cash, Neteller, Postal Order, PayPal, Moneybookers, Click2Pay and ClickandBuy.
