William Hill Review

William Hill is one of the longest-running global sports betting companies around. They started way back in 1934, taking bets by phone and by mail. In the 1960s, the company started opening betting shops in England, and in the 1990s, they started opening online sportsbooks.

William Hill got its start in the United States market in Nevada in 2012, and then quickly made its way to New Jersey when the state first started offering online sports betting in the fall of 2018, following the Supreme Court’s ruling to overturn the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act.

Since it has been around so long, the company has the benefit of having a long track record of trust and success.
Read on to get the full details on William Hill’s sportsbook, banking options, bonuses, and customer service.

Bonuses

William Hill isn’t currently offering any sign up bonuses for players in New Jersey. They are offering a sign up bonus for players in Nevada, though. Players there can earn up to a $50 bonus on their initial deposit.

Additional Sports Betting Promos

William Hill also offers quite a lot of ongoing promotions.

Business Hours Bonus: The Business Hours Bonus is a promotion that runs around daytime baseball games. As part of the promotion, players who place pre-game wagers of $30 or more on two daytime baseball games that start before 3:35 p.m. Eastern Standard Time each Thursday can receive a $10 cash bonus.

Series Swap Special: The site is also running a special revolving around the NBA playoffs. Players can win an additional $150 cash bonus if they win each pre-game point spread wager of at least $50 in every game of any pro basketball playoff series. The bonus will be paid after the series ends.

Golden Strikeout Mondays: Through June 19, William Hill is offering the Golden Strikeout Mondays promotion. If you bet $25 or more on baseball money lines through that date, you can get $1 back for every strike out by the losing team if your bet loses. William Hill will double the money back if any player on the losing team strikes out at least four times in the game. There is a $50 cash back limit per Monday per participant.
Diamond Live Club: Each week, William Hill offers an ongoing promotion related to InPlay baseball wagers. These bets allow you to place a wager while the game is already going on, instead of just before the game starts.

For this promotion, you can earn a $10 bonus for the first $100 of InPlay baseball bets you place every week, which William Hill defines as Monday through Sunday. No matter whether you win or lose these bets, you will begin the following week with $10 more in your account.

Banking

William Hill offers a nice variety of deposit options, but one of the downfalls of the site are its lack of withdrawal options.

Deposit Options

William Hill offers four electronic deposit options and one in-person deposit option as well. Online, you can make deposits via Visa or MasterCard for debit/credit cards. You can also choose an e-Check option where you link your bank account information directly to your sportsbook account, or you can deposit by signing up for a William Hill Prepaid Card.

Another nice perk to wagering with William Hill is that you can make in-person deposits at three o fits retail locations – the Monmouth Park Sports Book, the William Hill Sports Book at Ocean Resort Casino and the William Hill Sports Book at Tropicana Atlantic City.

For each deposit option, there is a $20 minimum. There is a $1,000 maximum deposit limit for credit and debit cards, and limits for e-Checks will be set once your banking information has been entered and verified. William Hill says your money will typically be available to wager right away after the deposit has been confirmed.

Withdrawal Methods & Payout Times

Again, one of the downfalls to William Hill is that it only offers two ways in which players can make withdrawals. The only online option is to withdrawal to a William Hill prepaid card. Typically speaking, it could take up to 72 hours for the withdrawal to be processed, but the company says they are generally completed much quicker.

The other withdrawal option is to appear in person at one of the company’s three sportsbooks to get cash from your account.

William Hill’s Sportsbook

The odds at William Hill’s sportsbooks in New Jersey are on the higher side, which is a good thing for American bettors in the market. They offer a plethora of betting options, from traditional single-game wagers on a betting line or total, to parlays, teasers, futures and in-game wagering as well.

At William Hill, you can place wagers on sports such as:
• Football
• Baseball
• Basketball
• Hockey
• Combat sports such as boxing and MMA
• Rugby
• Auto racing
• Tennis
• Soccer
• Golf
In-game betting, which William Hill calls InPlay wagers, are offered for just about every game in every sport, which is a key differentiator for the site compared to some of its competitors. This is one of the more popular types of bets in today’s market.

Line Selection

William Hill offers a huge selection of lines for a large number of sports. They offer alternate lines on a large number of games in a wide variety of sports, including a number of InPlay wagers as well. This is one of the things that separates William Hill from a number of the other sportsbook operators in New Jersey.

The site also offers prop bets such as a combination of an Alex Bregman home run and a Houston Astros win happening together on the same day.

Betting on Other Markets

William Hill currently isn’t offering betting on markets other than sporting events. In the past, though, the company has been known to offer wagering options on entertainment and political events, though it’s yet to be seen whether they will do so in New Jersey.

Betting Limits

The exact betting limits for each sport and player is a little difficult to find on William Hill’s site. The minimum bet that you can place is $1, and the maximum payout on the site is $500,000. That doesn’t necessarily mean that you will be able to place a wager that would result in a payout that high, though, as it could depend on the specific player and the sport that you intend to place a bet on.

Live Betting

Live betting is one of the most popular type of wagers in sports betting today. William Hill calls its live betting wagers InPlay. They allow you to place a wager on a game that has already started. The odds of the game change as different results happen in the game, and your wager will be based on the odds at the time of your bet and not on the odds at the start of the game.

While William Hill doesn’t offer InPlay wagers for every game that is on its board, it does offer the type of wager for most of the games. As they accrue more players in New Jersey, it’s likely they will continue to add to the number of games that are available for the InPlay wagers.

Mobile Betting

William Hill offers a great mobile betting experience in New Jersey.

William Hill offers both a web-based mobile version and a downloadable app. Just like the desktop version, though, the app will use geolocation services to ensure you are in the state of New Jersey when you attempt to make a bet. Once you are verified, you’ll be cleared to place any bet as well as deposit and initiate a withdrawal from your account.

William Hill’s mobile app is award-winning and is one of the better apps among all the sportsbook operators in New Jersey. The app is available for both Android and iOS devices, and is very easy to navigate and do everything you are able to do on the desktop version.

Customer Service

William Hill offers three main ways to contact customer support. They can be reached via Live Chat on its website (https://williamhill-nj.custhelp.com/app.chat/chat_launch is the direct link for the New Jersey sportsbook). In addition, they can be reached via email at [email protected] or by phone at (855) 754-1200.

William Hill has a great reputation for providing outstanding customer service, as their support team is responsive and helpful.

Conclusion: A Rock Solid Sportsbook

William Hill has a long-standing reputation of being an extremely solid and trustworthy sportsbook. They wouldn’t be listed on the London Stock Exchange if they weren’t. The site offers great mobile betting options and a wide variety of lines and sports. The only major downside to William Hill is the withdrawal options, but if you can see past that, it’s one of the best sportsbooks on the market.
