William Hill has a relatively subdued shop front on the Internet, but offers essentially the same online gambling opportunities for the potential punter as some of its more colourful and glitzy competitors in the world of online gambling.
Potential customers may prefer this more staid introduction and feel more comfortable with a familiar high street name before venturing into some of the more Vegas-style sites. Reasons for this may be that they are worried about the security of their details on sites they are unfamiliar with.
However, all the scores of online gambling sites such as 888, Bet365, Intercasino and Spin Palace are built using state-of-the-art technology and their security features are next to none, so there is never any issue about security.
William Hill has its traditional sectors of sports, racing and Bingo prominently represented along with Vegas, Poker and Casino Club. Others like Jackpot City emphasise the Casino games such as blackjack and roulette; their interfaces are much more colourful and interactive.
There is full information on how to get started on the William Hill website, which involves opening an account and buying some credits before you can begin.
Any winnings are quickly transferred into the same account through a secure online payment system; this can then be moved on to your bank account.
Once your account has been set up there are dozens of games to choose from and, if you feel like some human interaction rather than playing solo, you can go in for tournaments against other players.
Some of the games require downloads, which are free and secure, whereas others like online slots – ‘fruit machines’ – can be played immediately.
