The William Hill online Poker room is one of the best known poker rooms across the UK and has been pretty much since they opened their virtual tables in 2004. William Hill uses the Cryptologic Software Platform, and therefore shares their player base with other members of the Cryptologic Network.
William Hill’s Poker Room is not only one of the most popular internet poker rooms in Europe, Will Hill is also open to online poker players in America.
The software at William Hill Poker is also created and mangaged by Cryptologic and it runs quite smoothly but the graphics leave a little to be desired. They have also added a time clock that requires players to makle up their minds quiclly to speed up game play and you can choose your dealers voice as well.
Poker Games at William Hill
William Hill Poker offers a variety of poker games, you’ll find a longer list at some of the other online poker rooms, but I think all of the big favorites are covered here; Texas Holdem, Omaha Hi, Omaha Hi- Lo and Seven Card Stud. You can choose to play fixed limit poker games, no limit and pot limit Texas Holdem or pot limit in both Omaha poker games.
All of the above poker games can be played in the Dollar, Pound or Euro to accomidate all William Hill Poker players from various countries. Blinds start as little as £0.50/£1.00 all the way up to £100/£200 in the super high limit tables.

William Hill offers a great variety of online Holdem tournaments, around the clock. In fact, Multi Table tournaments are now on offer from as little as £2 and as much as £200! In addition the popular Texas Hold em style tournements Will Hill also offers; Sit and Go single table games, Mulitl Table S ‘n’ G tournaments, Shootout tournaments, guarenteed pot games, and a bunch of Satelite and smaller feeder tournies!

Being part of the Cryptologic Network ensures that William Hill Poker always has plenty of Ring Table action to offer internet poker players! During their busiest times, more than 3000 players can be found playing in this section of the online poker room.
The Rake
William Hill takes 5% from each pot in rake, capping the rake at 3£ for most games, and £5 for games at the 25/50 level. The casino does subscribe to the ‘No Flop-No Drop’ policy and therefore collects no rake in hands that do not reach the flop.
The Prop Player Program
The poker room provides online poker players with quite a unique opportunity! The William Hill Proposition Player Program is available to all real money poker players. Whenever a table is short, or needs some action added, a player will be propositioned to join that table. If you choose to sit at the table, you are paid real cash for as much as two hours playing poker on that table.

William Hill Customer Service
The William Hill Poker Room offers a great feature that is much like email assistance with a built in FAQ. When email for assistance, you will fill out the email form just like you would any other time. When you hit send, you will see a list of suggested solutions to your problem, if you don’t find the answer you’re looking for, just hit send, and your email will be sent as usual.
Our reviewer went ahead and sent out an email… and their question was answered in six days. In our opinion this is definitely not one of the strongest areas of William Hill. However, if you are looking for a more immediate response, William Hill’s customer service center is also available around the clock via toll free telephone numbers from many countries.
