tl;dr
William Hill is one of the oldest names in British bookmaking, founded in 1934 and operating online since 1998. Now owned by Evoke plc (888 Holdings) following the 2022 sale by Caesars. UKGC-licensed across sportsbook, casino, vegas, and bingo. Best suited to UK punters who value heritage, deep horse racing markets, and a unified high-street and online account.
What works
- Deepest UK horse racing markets and ITV Racing tie-ins
- Tier-1 UKGC with retail and online unified account
- Strong RG tooling under Evoke compliance regime
- PayPal supported with same-day withdrawal to e-wallet
What doesn't
- Account restrictions on winning customers well-documented
- Casino library smaller than dedicated casino brands
- No crypto
- Sportsbook UI feels dated vs Sky Bet or Paddy Power
