Ring Game Traffic (7)

Traffic at William Hill Poker is good and somewhat concentrated to Hold'em games, although more and more players are showing interest in Omaha and Seven-Card Stud. In all, William Hill Poker is a site with good traffic at most hours, and especially good at European peak hours. William Hill Poker has peak cash-game traffic of 1,500 real-money players at peak hours (November 2008).

Soft Competition (6)

With the sportsbook and casino clientele from other Cryptologic partners such as Sun Poker and Inter Poker, there are quite a few players with little poker experience at William Hill Poker. The decline in new-user sign-ups since the U.S. online gambling ban has tightened up the games somewhat, but there are still loose and juicy games to be found, and new users are signing up daily. The viewed-flop percentage at the loosest full tables at mid-level stakes can often be up in the 40-50% range, which gives skilled players an opportunity to build their bankroll.

Rake (5)

The rake at William Hill Poker is slightly less attractive than the industry average for standard games. The rake at higher-stakes tables is relatively low in comparison to the smaller stakes, where a larger part of the total pot is raked. A rake of 5% is taken on every pot over £5/$5, up to a maximum of £3/$3. There is a "no flop - no drop" policy for hands not reaching the flop. Worth noting is the rake is comparatively higher for the GBP tables, something that loyal players may want to keep in mind.

Support (6)

The support at William Hill Poker is relatively fast and of good quality. William Hill Poker offer toll-free telephone and e-mail support, and the support staff is knowledgeable and friendly.

Financial Security (7)

Should be very secure, as the mother company is a well-established player. Top score.
