William Hill is one of the oldest gambling operators in the industry and has one of the largest and most loyal bettor bases in the world. This is why it is no surprise that the William Hill Poker site is also one of the largest and oldest in operation today. The poker room is part of the iPoker network and offers larger player numbers and premium promotions. Players will find a nice selection of poker variants at the site as well as massive guaranteed tournaments with $16 million in prize money up for grabs each and every month.

Will Hill is based in the UK so the site is very busy during European peak hours. Because the operator offers sports betting, many players move from sports bets to the poker room, offering tables with loose players. You can easily find a ring game or tournament to participate in, especially at the micro stakes to medium stakes levels. Check out the rest of our review below.
