What regulators have done about William Hill
| Date | Regulator | Against | Amount | What happened |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (exact) | UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) | WHG (International) Limited | GBP 82,687 | Following an investigation into a key event submission made outside a licence review, the Commission found the licensee failed to comply with paragraph 3 of SRCP 3.9.1 on identification of individual customers (remote), which requires reasonable steps to treat a customer holding accounts with a group company as holding multiple accounts. The Commission imposed a financial penalty of £82,687 under section 121(1) of the Gambling Act 2005 and noted the licensee self-identified and proactively reported the breach. source |
| (exact) | UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) | William Hill Group (WHG) | GBP 6,200,000 | The Commission found that between November 2014 and August 2016 the business breached anti-money laundering and social responsibility regulations, with senior management failing to mitigate risks or provide sufficient staff, resulting in ten customers depositing large sums linked to criminal offences producing gains of around £1.2m. The penalty package comprised more than £5m for the breaches plus divestment of the £1.2m earned from those customers; the Commission's publication names the entity as 'William Hill Group (WHG)' rather than a single licensed company. source |

Questions people ask about William Hill
Is William Hill licensed, and by which regulator?
William Hill is licensed by UK Gambling Commission. The licence was active when we checked the regulator’s own public register on 18 July 2026. You can check it yourself in the register entry we used.
Who owns William Hill?
William Hill is owned through WHG (International) Limited (operator); evoke plc (ultimate parent), listed on LSE: EVOK. Ownership of these companies changes by takeover faster than most registers update, so we date it: this is the structure we recorded on 18 July 2026. Source: the filing we read.
Which other casinos share an owner with William Hill?
William Hill shares a corporate owner with 1 other casino we have mapped: 888 Casino. This matters more than a trivia answer: a regulator’s finding against one brand in a group tells you something about the company running all of them, and a self-exclusion you set at one brand does not automatically stop at that brand.
Has William Hill been fined by a gambling regulator?
Yes. We have recorded 2 published enforcement actions against William Hill or the company it operates under. The most recent was by UK Gambling Commission on 7 August 2025, a GBP 82,687 penalty. Read the regulator’s published decision. Every action we hold is listed with its date, amount and source further up this page.
How long does a withdrawal from William Hill actually take?
The fastest route we recorded is Apple Pay at 1 hour. The slowest is Bank Transfer at 4 days. These are end-to-end times: from requesting the money to it being spendable, including the operator’s own review window. They are not the “instant” figure a cashier screen shows, which times only the last step. Source: the operator’s published terms.
