William Hill Review
Website Design Navigation and Bet Management
The WIlliam Hill layout and theme has a very cool and relaxed feel about it. The colours help to split the website up nicely, all the menu’s are in blue and down the left hand side. It is nicely separated out into a dedicated racing menu and one for the general sportsbook. So navigation has been well thought out. Clicking on a sport will raise options of events in the menu and then you click one to bring up the betting options in the centre of the page. It has all been presented very well, so easy to pick out your bets and jump around from one sport to another. There are also good filters available for sorting purposes. The Sportingbet bet slip is a little different to other bookmakers’ ones because it sits at the top of the screen above the markets. What is nice about the bet slip is that it is very readable and you can configure the slip out.
Willliam Hill has a really stand out service. Just a look at the main menu, which covers everything from Today’s Racing through to Placecards, Jockey Challenges, Feature Racing and Multiples, shows that you have a lot at your fingertips to explore. Bring up a race card and you will see fantastic options to click through to iForm for the race, Tote values and any other options like SP. A fantastic touch is that there is help available by hovering over icon legends. There is also a popular feature in the racing menu, the FavFavour where you select one of their pre-built options, picking a favourite two, three or four at a set dividend. Other big features are live broadcasts of racing, multiples and feature races from around the world. It easy to see while browsing around, why Sportingbet have captured a big share of Australian horse racing.
General Sportsbook
The same great quality, value and features that are in the racing section are prevalent throughout the rest of the sportsbook. There is a wide range of sports on offer and something that Sportingbet are very good at as well, is presenting ante post markets for events way off in the future. Getting around the sportsbook is very easy to do and there is superb market depth as well in individual markets. When you do bring up a specific event, say a soccer match for example, you can easily switch between single bet and multi bet options. It is all excellently presented. Variety and value.
Main Features
You can get a very speedy app from the Apple Store to use William Hill on the go, or you can just visit their mobile site.
Account Management
The Sportingbet accounts are powered by Paypal, Bpay, Visa, Mastercard, POLi and Skrill, so there good options to get your money in and out of your account. Check for processing times and any fees involved. Usually online payments through the likes of Skrill will be the quickest and usually free of charge to make payments with.
Help
You can quickly get to the Help section by clicking the link at the top of the screen and there is a simple presentation of Frequently Asked Questions, separated out in categories. So maybe you want to look around Sports Options, or Racing Products to find information. There is also a hand Members Handbook for you to browse around too. Very good service and there is even a Betting 101 link on the general home page if you are a beginner and need help.
Customer Support
There is a highly recommended customer support available as well, and you can call a toll free number in Australia to speak to a representative. Alternatively you can do a live chat on the site or send them an email.
Summary
William Hill run a very strong platform for online betting and there is a very good balance between horse racing and the rest of the general sportsbook. Nothing is compromised just so that something else is better. Wherever you look across the site you will find fantastic little touches, even down to friendly graphics which provide a superb experience overall.
