William Hill Sports App Review

With decades in the business, it’s perhaps no surprise that we rank William Hill as one of the finest betting apps on the market.

The home screen has quick links to popular sports. These include horse racing, football, tennis, and cricket.

We have a guide built for new users of the app with everything you need to know when starting out – You can read the user guide here.

User experience is a clear focus. The app ensures you can place a bet on the biggest markets instantly and find more niche selections quickly and easily.

There are also separate links to casino games such as roulette and blackjack. Casino games will open up in a new window.

The app manages to seamlessly transfer all the features, markets and sports from its desktop offering directly to mobile.

That’s combined with having some of the best odds available.

App Features

In-Play The William Hill way

In-play betting is highly recommended. It’s one of the first markets you’ll come across when opening the app. All the live games will be featured, with up-to-date odds waiting to be selected.
When betting on a specific sport you’ll receive the top 10 most popular bets that other customers are backing at that time. This is great to use if you are looking for another bet to add to your accumulator.
Don’t be afraid to delve a little deeper though. You’ll find hundreds of markets available. This applies regardless of whether you’re looking to take a punt in play or on upcoming fixtures or races.

Build #YourOdds with William Hill’s Bet Builder

Bet builders are all the rage at the moment and this is William Hill’s take on this hot trend. You can now combine between 2 to 6 different football betting markets together to make one bundled-up bet.

Examples of markets that can be combined are:

• Total goals
• player shots on target
• Goalscorer
• Player to assist
• Full-time result
• Both Teams To Score
• Handicaps
• Correct score
• Highest scoring half

There are more markets available and as more selections are made the odds are updated immediately to reflect the overall price. Once happy with the selections and the odds, users can then opt to place the combined bet in to their bet slip so that a stake can be attached to it.

Live Streaming

William Hill offers a live streaming service branded as WHTV. They cover a wide range of sports, including tennis, horse racing, football and greyhounds.

To watch an available stream, all that is required is to have placed a bet within the last 24 hours or to have a positive account balance. The only exception here is with horse racing live streams. to watch these you must have staked at least a £1 stake on that particular race.

Keep your eye out for the television icons that can be found next to applicable events. Wherever you see this icon, a live stream will be available.

Tapping in to a live event will, by default, open up the digital visualisation of the action. Tap the graphic and two arrows should appear on either side. Tap right to get to the live stream or tap left to see in-game statistics.

Cash-out Before a Bet Has Settled

The cash-out tool is featured, so you can guarantee yourself a profit while play is still going on. Cashing out has become increasingly popular over the last few years so it’s an incredibly important feature to include these days.

It doesn’t fail to deliver and you can generally cash out on most bets. It’s just deciding when to push the cash-out button and that’s entirely down to you!

Cashing out is simple:

1. Head to your open bets and they’ll be an icon waiting showing a cash-out amount if one is available.
2. Tapping on the cash out button will begin the process of cashing out the bet for the stated amount.

William Hill Novelty and TV Markets

As well as major sports such as football, horse racing, cricket, and boxing, you’ll also find every other market available by simply scrolling from right to left across the main toolbar.

No matter where in the world it is, the William Hill app has you covered. You’ll even find a range of TV and novelty markets that sees the likes of:

• Love Island Winner
• Next James Bond
• Oscar nominees
• Strictly Come Dancing Eliminations and outright winner
• Dancing On Ice winner

• WWE Royal Rumble winner
• Snow on Christmas day

Not only that, but you will also find easy access away from the sports and TV/Specials to the fantastic William Hill Casino. Here you can play the most popular slot machines, card games, and much, much more.

Customisable Dashboard

Personalising the app is pretty straightforward. Users can change the odds from fractions to decimals and, if they wish, allow the app to remember their username and password.

There’s also a recent update applied that allows users to choose either a dark or light theme for their betting slip. This can be changed at any time from the cog icon in to top right of the bet-slip.

Intelligent bet-slip

William Hill has recently rejuvenated the way bets are handled within the bet slip. A brand new design has led way to a quicker way to placing simple single and multiple bets, whilst still offering an efficient way to place more complex multi-bets.

Tapping on a selection will force the quick-bet-slip bar to be presented at the bottom of the screen (on mobile). Here you can quickly add a stake to the selection and place the bet straight away.

Adding two selections will cause the  quick-bet to turn in to a double option, three a treble and so on. To place multiple singles or combination bets, simply tap on the show bet-slip button contained within the quick-bet-slip bar to reveal further options.

Football Betting Made easy

For most of us, we’re going to need a pretty expansive football betting market. William Hill certainly does not disappoint. One of its finest features is a large number of markets available on various sports, particularly the beautiful game.

There’s the ability to bet on almost every league imaginable. From the Premier League to La Liga and the MLS to English Northern Premier Division. If there’s a game on, you can bet on it!

If you’re looking for that day’s matches you can simply head to the “by day” section of the app. Here is a nice daily list of all the games. A great way to view matches when looking to place a short turnaround accumulator.

Ahead of bigger games, such as Premier League and European top-flight fixtures, you’ll find a staggering number of markets. In many cases up to 200! The app never fails to throw in a few mobile free bet offers too.

Horse Racing Betting At its finest

For generations, the brand has been one of the faces of horse racing across both National Hunt and flat racing. That transfers directly to the app.

The racing section produces a wealth of information on all the UK’s racing, thanks to their links with the Racing Post. You’ll also find all the most popular markets at the top of the horse racing tab to save on the scrolling. This is a fantastic horse racing betting app.

Users are able to stream all the races taking place via this app. All users have to do to watch a race is place a minimum £1 bet on a horse taking part. The app never fails to bring fantastic offers and free bets. Non-runner-no-bet markets are a regular occurrence too.

You get all the usual William Hill markets on the app. There are also multiple bet options, including Lucky Bets, Trixies, and others you may be looking for (all available each way of course).

William Hill App Promotions

The app is jam-packed with fantastic offers, many exclusive to mobile. There are offers galore as well as regular games such as their Scratch of the Day, Bet Boost Acca and insurance offers. (Read below for more details)

Every week, users are inundated with a number of enhanced odds specials across major events and sports.

Simply head to the Promotions page within the app to find them all, as well as finding all the most popular and recent offers on the home screen. Tapping on a specific promotion will direct you through to the appropriate markets.

Here are some of the offers that we particularly like.

Free or 4 Promotion

William Hill has released a free football betting game that they offer out frequently. It gives punters a free shot at winning up to £200 in free bets. Pick 6 football matches from a set list in which you think the game will see either three or four goals. Get all six correct and win £200 in free bets. Getting five correct will reward you with a £5 free bet and 4 right will provide a consolation £1 free bet.

There is a maximum game week bonus pool of £1 million and any free bets won will expire after 30 days. Eligibility rules, bet rules and the usual terms and conditions apply.

Scratch of the Day Bonus

A daily bonus here that encourages users to log in on a regular basis. Six squares appear in this feature that required to be virtually scratched with your fingertips (fingernails not required!). Match three up and some sort of bonus will be waiting for you. Rewards include exclusive odds, free bets, bet and get, Mega odds, and more.

From playing this game, I can vouch that matching three symbols is a regular occurrence. However, it does appear that the more you bet, the better the chance of picking up a better bonus. The bet and get reward seems to be my most common outcome from this feature. This requires opting in and placing a bet first before a free bet is rewarded.

You’re never going to win anything massive here, but it does add extra value to your betting, especially if you are betting regularly.

This offer is so good we have a full guide on how to play scratch of the day here.

Acca Freedom Explained

William Hill has a daily bonus for those people who like to place accumulators. Users can choose to either boost the odds of a treble (or greater) OR to insure an accumulator with a minimum number of five selections.

A yellow bar will appear in the bet slip area once selections in the bet slip justify the requirements to unlock the bonus. It will say “Free Bet, Boosts, and more” tap on the bar to open up the rewards that are available on the selections made.

Our Verdict on betting with William Hill

There’s a reason William Hill is one of the first names you think of when it comes to betting. For decades it has consistently had the best odds, offers, and gameplay. That’s no different on their betting app.

You can explore the app with ease. It never looks cluttered despite such a large range of markets playable.

That, to us, is the perfect combination and we’d thoroughly recommend William Hill to anyone. If you’re after a real hub of betting, particularly across horse racing and football, then this is the app for you.
