William Hill Cricket Review

William Hill is a part of online gambling since 2000. Their betting section covers more than 40000 events in 30 plus sports every month. They are a step ahead in live coverage by offering their own tv and radio services. But they are yet to get accustomed with new demands of bettors like Reward system and cryptocurrency use.

William Hill Group is one of the oldest players in the gambling industry. While writing the William Hill review, we found out that this dude (William Hill) used to ride on his motorbike to collect bets around the local Birmingham Area in 1934. The organization continued the innovative spirit of its founder to grow into the go-to betting market, especially for UK-based bettors.

William Hill started their operations by taking bets by mail & phone and then moved to set up betting shops three decades later. In 1997, William Hill Group went online by launching the William Hill website. Its betting site now has a casino, live casino, and more importantly, a sportsbook covering 34 sports categories where playmakers offer some enhanced odds daily.

Pros

  • High reputation in the sports betting sector
  • More than 40000 sports markets covered monthly
  • Virtual sports and esports markets are available
  • Better odds and payouts than rival betting companies
  • 20 plus deposit methods
  • Live Streaming
  • 24/7 customer support through live chat and Twitter
  • Bet Builder available
  • Mobile App for android and iOS
  • Fast Payouts

Cons

  • Bonuses are below average
  • Cryptocurrencies are not accepted
  • Not available in many countries including India where Cricket is followed vigorously
  • Customer Support by email is slow sometimes
  • Various and complicated restrictions in different countries

William Hill’s website is user friendly. But the user interface is very old and sometimes distracts you with a number of betting options thrown at you. The layout of the sportsbook makes it easier to navigate across various sports markets with sorting and search options.

They have William Hill radio on the dashboard to take you to in-play Horse racing & GreyHound racing. You can easily switch between the odds format and the languages offered. Our first impression is that William Hill has taken a lot of time to design & enhance the sports betting perspective of its customers.

We also came across various downsides of the 88-year-old betting company while writing the William Hill review. And the common thread that connects these downsides together is an outdated structure and policies. It’s a world of Bonuses, free bets, and promotions.

You can’t keep them limited when the Sports Betting market is adding more competition with the number of new betting websites. You can’t exclude cryptos when it’s the future. We hope Willliam hill improves on these fronts or else they will become a ‘yellow taxi’ against ‘Uber’ in the betting world.

William Hill Cricket

William Hill’s majority of betting customers are from the United Kingdom which brings us to the cricket coverage they offer. They cover all major and minor cricket tournaments including international and domestic that are scheduled across the world.

These include Test series like The Border-Gavaskar Trophy, ICC World Test Championship, and all bilateral series between Test-playing nations. First-Class tournaments like Sheffield Shield, Ford Trophy, and County Championship also find their places in William Hill’s Sportsbook.

You will be happy to know that ODI and T20I formats are also covered in the betting section. They offer one of the best odds for pre-match, live, and scheduled matches as per the ICC calendar. In scheduled series customers can bet on outright winners too. There is a separate tab to choose outright winners from several ICC and domestic trophies.

We found the following tournaments covered by the William Hill Sportsbook:

  • The Ashes
  • ICC World Cup
  • ICC World Twenty20
  • Indian Premier League
  • Sheffield Shield
  • ICC Women’s World Cup

You can easily find the Cricket betting market in the A-Z Sports menu on the left side panel of the dashboard. The cricket section is further sorted into Daily List, ‘In Play’ Sports, and competitions. In the daily list, you can find today’s and future scheduled games whereas in the competition section William Hill lets you bet on outrights. We will cover more about the ‘In Play’ betting option in the next section. In case, if you don’t want to scroll, you can always use the search option given above the cricket menu to directly land on the bets provided for your favorite game.

There are two major downsides of William Hill if you are a cricket fan. One – William Hill doesn’t offer their services to India where cricket is worshiped like a god. Besides India residents from other cricket-playing nations like Australia, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, South Africa, Kenya are restricted from opening an account. Surprisingly, Pakistan and Sri Lanka have not been included in the list of restricted countries.

And Second – We did not find specific promotions or bonuses for Cricket.

William Hill Live Cricket Coverage

William Hill website outshines in offering live cricket coverage. It keeps customers busy and packed when there is a game going on. We found the majority of live cricket was covered by William Hill in their ‘In Play’ live betting section. William Hill’s in-play section is the front of their betting markets.

Finding the odds for live cricket matches is easy on William Hill. In the Betting tab, the ‘In Play’ betting option is given on the top left corner. By clicking on it, you land on the all-sports in-play webpage. William Hill displays the sportswise list of available live betting games on the top. By clicking on cricket, one can find all the games available for live betting. William Hill also directs you to live cricket games by selecting cricket from the A-Z menu.

By choosing the game of your liking, you can find a live rendition in the form of detailed live scorecards, wagon wheels, ball-by-ball commentary, and detailed statistical analysis along with the list of available wagers. They also offer the cash-out feature for Live betting.

Overall, the live cricket coverage on William Hill is very fast. It eliminates your need to find what’s happening on other apps and helps you place bets as quickly as possible.

William Hill Live Streaming

William Hill offers free live streaming of in-play cricket matches to its registered users. Inside the ‘In Play’ betting section you can filter the games which are available for live streaming. By choosing the game, you can find live streaming on the right side corner. This gives an excellent option to customers to place live betting while the matches are going on.

While writing this review, we couldn’t find the live streaming for Pakistan vs Australia Test Match. William Hill’s live streaming is focused on football and horse racing. It will be great to see them covering live streaming of all major cricket matches.

William Hill Bonus

A well-designed bonus structure is today’s need to hold the customer base. It is surprising to see William Hill offering a limited number of bonuses in terms of real cash and free bet. For starters, we found a single promo code and no deposit bonus on William Hill’s site. It is sad and lets your mood down after knowing that there is no Loyalty program or VIP points system. What world are they living in?

William Hill runs 14 promotions across its website. These include 5 promotions dedicated to sports betting, 1 casino bonus, 7 Horse Racing bonuses, and a unique social media campaign bonus. One good thing about the bonus system is that you can use the bonus wins for any sport including cricket irrespective of the way you win the promotion.

The promotion tab at the top of the website menu guides you to the William Hill bonuses. You will need to opt-in for most of these promotions to place a qualifying bet except for William Hill Acca Club bonus where you can track your progress after placing a qualifying bet or bets.

William Hill Welcome Bonus

William Hill offers an average welcome bonus to all new customers. To get the benefits, follow the instructions below:

1. Open an account using H30 in the William Hill promo code section

2. Place a €10/£10 or in equivalent currency bet at odds of 1.5 or greater.

3. Once your bet is settled, William Hill offers two €15/£15 worth of free bets to your account.

These free bets credited appear on the drop-down list once you add a new selection to your bet slip and can be used on any betting markets within 30 days except tote, pool, and lottery bets.

Unfortunately, this bonus is not available to new customers depositing funds with PayPal, Neosurf, PaySafe, Neteller, Skrill, ecoPayz, Kallibra/Postpay, and William Hill Plus Card.

Strangely, William Hill doesn’t advertise the welcome bonus on their promotions page. So, don’t forget to add the promo code H30 while opening a William Hill account.

William Hill Free Bet

William Hill’s bonus strategies rely on offering free bets over cashback and deposit bonuses. There are plenty of free bets available to grab in the promotion section. To get a free bet you have to place the odds through promotions. Following are some available promotions that can earn you free bets.

Free for 4: In the Free of 4 promotion you can earn up to £200 (paid as eight * £25) or equivalent currency of worth free bets by predicting six games in which exactly three or 4 goals are scored. Don’t worry if you miss a game.

Picking up 5 matches with the specified output can earn you a free bet worth £5 or equivalent currency. If four predictions come right, you still go out with a free bet worth £1.

Requirements: Only goals scored within 90 minutes are counted.

Acca Club: This is a weekly promotion that William Hill offers. If you stake a total of £20 or equivalent, in cash, on single or multi-match accumulator bets containing 3+ selections, you get a free bet worth £5 irrespective of the results on next Monday.

Requirement: Only straight accumulator bets are counted towards this offer.

Acca Freedom: Acca Freedom lets you boost the odds of trebles and above to win more, or insure your bet against one bad result from five or more selections. Acca Freedom bonus comes with complications. We will try to make it easier for you to understand. This is how it works

  • Add 3 or more qualifying bets to your betting slip to trigger Bet Boost in rewards.
  • Add 5 or more qualifying bets to trigger your Acca insurance in rewards.
  • Choose your reward by clicking on ‘Rewards available to apply’. You can either choose between Bet boost or insurance.
  • By insuring your bets, William Hill refunds your stake as a free bet up to £20 or in equivalent currency.

Requirement: Insurance can’t be claimed on bets including any handicap, total points, or enhanced markets (including flash odds, enhanced odds, and super odds).

All free bets paid can be seen after your bets are settled. You can use these free bets on cricket betting markets. Free bets credited can be chosen from the dropdown menu available on the betting slip.

William Hill Cashback

William Hill doesn’t offer any cashback on cricket-related promotions. Most of the promotions are added to your account as free bets. Cashback is available for the Horse racing-related bets though.

What other bonuses do William Hill Offer?

Most of the bonuses on William Hill are for Horse Racing events. Besides this, there is a ‘Scratch of the Day’ offer per customer, per day. This promotion is available for Ireland and UK customers only.

#YourOdds is a unique way to get a bonus in terms of free bets or cashback. All you need to present William Hill on Twitter by tweeting @WilliamHill with #YourOdds. Lucky customers get a chance to win prizes.
