William Hill FAQ

Last updated · Verified

This page answers the questions players ask most often about William Hill: how payments and withdrawals work, what the identity check involves, and whether the casino is licensed and safe. Each answer in the FAQ below is short and points to the page on this site that covers the topic in full.

This site is an independent review, not William Hill. It cannot see your account, change your details or resolve a payment, so questions about your own account go to William Hill support. The last section below shows how to reach it, and what to have ready when you do. For anything about bonus conditions, the page for that bonus is the place to read the terms.

Payments, withdrawals, identity checks and safety

William Hill brand background

Payments. William Hill accepts Visa Debit, Mastercard, PayPal, Apple Pay, Skrill and Bank transfer / Pay by Bank. Debit cards are the card option for gambling in Great Britain, since credit cards are banned for it. Debit cards and e-wallets differ in how they work, so choose the one you will also want for payouts. Use a payment method in your own name, and look at the limits for your chosen method before you confirm a payment. The deposits page covers paying in step by step.

Withdrawals. Speed: No instant withdrawal options. That makes it worth reading the withdrawal options before you deposit, so that you know what to expect from the method you use and are not surprised later. The withdrawals page explains how to request a payout and what to check before you do.

Identity checks. William Hill requires identity verification, and as a UK-licensed operator it must confirm your age and identity before you deposit or play. Photo ID and proof of address are the documents usually asked for in checks like this, so keep clear copies to hand and make sure the details match what you entered when you registered. The verification page lists what to prepare.

Licence and safety. William Hill holds licence 039225-R-319373-015 from the UK Gambling Commission and is run by WHG (International) Limited (evoke plc group). A licence number only helps if you check it: open the register, then compare the number and the company name with the ones shown here. The is William Hill legit page shows how to check this yourself in the regulator's register, and the safety page covers money, data and player protection.

Apps and games. The William Hill app page covers iPhone, Android and the mobile site, and the games page covers what you can play, from slots to the live casino. Games come from 24 providers, including NetEnt, Playtech, Play'n GO, Blueprint Gaming, IGT, Evolution, Pragmatic Play, Yggdrasil, Red Tiger, Big Time Gaming, ELK Studios, Eyecon, Greentube, Hacksaw Gaming, Games Global, Light & Wonder, Inspired Gaming, Gaming Realms and Push Gaming, so the lobby is not tied to a single studio.

How to contact William Hill support

William Hill casino lobby

William Hill has live chat and email support, with hours of 24/7 (live chat). Live chat suits quick questions, such as where to find a setting or why a payment screen will not load. Email suits cases where you want a written record of what you reported and what you were told.

Before you write, have your username ready and a short description of the problem: what you were doing, what happened and roughly when. If the problem is on a screen, a screenshot helps the person reading it. Never include your password in a message to anyone, including support.

The contact page lists the channels in one place. Keep a note of what you were told and when, so that you can refer back to it if the same problem comes up again.
