Background

William Hill is one of the oldest and largest bookmakers, offering offline and online gambling services since 1934. William Hill is based in the UK and William Hill Poker has become a very popular poker room for British players (and European players in general), making the busiest traffic time around European peak hours. Because of the famous sportsbook and the tendency for players to also play in the poker room for a few hands, the William Hill tables are usually filled with relatively loose players. Play in general is at a lower skill level with tons of opportunities for easy games, particularly at the micro stakes.

Limits and rake

William Hill offers games from micro levels all the way up to the really high stakes and as such supplies games to all various players not matter what their preferences might be. Game starts from $0.01/$0.02 all the way up to $300/$600 for Fixed Limit Hold´em, $200/$400 for No Limit Hold´em and $50/$100 for Pot Limit Hold´em, Fixed Limit Omaha and Pot Limit Omaha Hi/Lo. When it comes to Pot Limit Omaha you will find levels up to $100/$200 and $200/$400 for Fixed Limit Omaha Hi/lo

When it comes to the rake at William Hill Poker it follows the rest of the poker industry with a 5 % rake capped at a maximum of $5 per pot. The cap could however be lower, depending on how many players were involved in the pot and at which levels they played at. The cap starts from $1 and increases up to a maximum of $5 for games at $25/$50 levels and above, in No and Pot limit games. William Hill has a “No Flop No Drop“ policy which means no rake is taken if no flop is dealt.
