William Hill Poker is one of the largest online poker communities and the
poker site is well polished, easy to use and one of the best sites available
online. William Hill Poker is on the iPoker network, one of the largest

any time and between 2000 and 3000 real money players and around 9,000 on
tournament tables during peak times.
William Hill is renowned and famous as probably the biggest bookmakers in
the world, so the site feels secure and safe. It is possible to play 12
tables simultaneously, latest played hands and hand histories. There are
also a lot of statistics available; average pot size, hands per hour and
flop percentages, all of which can provide useful information and will help
the more experienced and enthusiastic players. The lobby area and tables are
functional and this all leads to the poker play being quick and reliable,
but to the more casual and recreational poker players may find that William
Hill Poker can feel quite impersonal, stale and dull.
One of the many bonuses offered by William Hill Poker, is the offer to match
100% of any first deposit for any new player up to a $600 deposit. This is
one of the more generous bonuses available in online poker. William Hill
Poker uses a loyalty and incentive point system called William Hill Points.
The points are awarded for playing in real money games or buying in to
tournaments. As well as the Welcome Bonus, there are 5 free entries to the
two Freeroll tournaments available to first time depositors. Four of the
entries to the $1000 New Depositors freeroll tournaments that take place on
Wednesday evenings and the final entry of the five to a New Depositors Prize
freeroll tournament that takes place once a month.

brings a friend to William Hill will receive $50. A player will receive $50
for every player they convince. The players referred also see advantages by
receiving an addition $50 in addition to the First Deposit bonuses. The
William Hill Point system means that bonuses and incentives require players
to have real money accounts and to play a certain amount of real money games
to receive the bonuses.
There are plenty of different poker games and tournaments taking place every
day on William Hill Poker. There are freeroll tournaments every day for
players of all skill levels, Monster tournaments on weekday evenings with
prize pools between $20000 and $40000. There is also the $100000 Guaranteed

these tournaments, however
There is a VIP Club section on the William Hill Poker site that offers
further benefits for players playing with real money and making William Hill
Points. These loyalty rewards can lead to decent bonuses, but players will
have to play a large amount of real money poker and pay to enter tournaments
and play regularly to see the benefits of collecting the points.
William Hill Poker offers a number of features that make the site and the
software feel helpful secure and trustworthy. There is an in depth ‘school’
for poker lessons, for beginners offering help on rules, through
intermediate lessons on hand rankings and poker strategy to advanced lessons
in poker odds. There is a large support network available all the time and a
variety different ways to get in touch with customer support to fix
problems, like toll free phone numbers and live chat.
Due to the famous and long established name that is William Hill, the
William Hill Poker site has a high intensity of new and inexperienced
players joining regularly. This sometimes leads to the level of play not
always being challenging and interesting to more advanced and experienced
players, but the lack of experience will give the more experienced players
more opportunities to see success.
William Hill Poker is one of the most efficient and polished online poker
sites available. The software is quick and runs smoothly, though the highly
statistical and empty layout and style may turn off some more casual
players. There are a large number of games and tournaments available at all
times, though the experience levels of some players will mean more advanced
players may be left unfulfilled. The site is well run, there are plenty of
promotions and incentives, the support system is effective and the ‘poker
school’ for new players is good. William Hill is one of the biggest names in
online poker and rightly so, though it can be less interesting than other
more modest alternatives.
