The buttons in the William Hill interface are large and easy to navigate so that you don't find yourself constantly clicking the wrong one, as with other internet poker rooms, where they seem so close together that one gets in the way of another.

The online poker room offers internet poker players table stats such as the size of the average pot, how many hands are played per hour at a particular poker table, how many players pay for the flop on average, etc. These tools can be extremely useful when looking for a table with plenty of soft play.

William Hill offers much more than just poker! With so many of their clientele based on sports book and casino, it leaves a great advantage for the more experienced aggressive players over the poker players with less experience at the tables. However, the rake at William Hill is slightly more than the average rake when playing standard games, yet for the larger betting tables, the rake is fairly low.

In the customer support area at William Hill, you will find the option of browsing their interactive library, this is similar to other sites' FAQ (frequently asked questions) page. Like most FAQ pages you will have a space to type your question or key words and the interactive library will search for all answers that may pertain to your question or concern.

My favorite customer service option currently available at William Hill Poker Room is the email function from their website. I type my question into the form, just as I would when sending any email from a form-based browser page, I then get the option of adding an attachment if need be, very handy for hand histories, etc. After I hit send, I am presented with a list of possible answers to my question, if the answer is here, I have just saved a lot of time, and I appreciate anything that saves my time! If the answer is not there however, one more button pressed, and my email is sent.
