William Hill Online Sportsbook Review & Promo Code

Is William Hill legal in Indiana?

Yes, William Hill Sportsbook is legal in Indiana. Sports betting as a whole launched in the Hoosier State in September 2019 thanks to House Bill 1015. Retail sportsbooks went live first, with online sportsbooks opening shortly thereafter.

William Hill operates the retail sportsbook at Tropicana Evansville, while its online sportsbook launched in late October 2020 after being authorized to do so by the Indiana Gaming Commission.

Some states prohibit betting on college teams from their state, but Indiana is not one of those states. The only restriction in place is that competitors must be at least 18 or older.

Promotions at William Hill Indiana Sportsbook

The promos at William Hill sportsbook revolve around popular in-season sports. For example, here are some of the Will Hill promotions available for betting on the NFL:

• The First 6: Bet $10 or more on the first NFL touchdown scorer; if you win and then he scores another TD, you’ll double your cash.
• Hail Mary Parlays: Place a four-leg parlay on Saturday college football games, and receive 15% of your stake back if it loses.
• Saturday Upset Special: Place a moneyline wager on an underdog at odds of +300 or better and earn a 100% refund if your team loses by 6 points or less.
• Trifecta Sweep: Place a bet on the Monday Night Football full game spread, total and first-half betting with wagers on each of at least $20, and you’ll be awarded $50 in bonus funds.

These are a great illustration of what existing players will get at William Hill throughout the year for other sports.

Download the William Hill Sportsbook App

Once you’ve downloaded the William Hill sports app you’ll need to register before you can start making bets. This is only a two-minute process.

You’ll be asked to provide your name, last four digits of your Social Security number, email address and home address.

Backup documents are not necessary for proof of ID unless your account is flagged for a security check.

How to use the William Hill Sportsbook

While new to Indiana, hundreds of thousands of William Hill customers around the globe are very familiar with the blue, gold and white logo and interface.

The William Hill site itself is organized into three columns.

• The thinnest column on the left hosts a series of menu bars.
• The top section features a link to the in-play offerings, a search option (search a team or a player to bring up the relevant markets) and all of the current promotions.
• Below, you’ll find a direct link to all of the most popular sports available and a link to the in-play options.

In the middle of the page, you’ll find the main betting markets and odds.

The top of this section features a banner advertising the latest promotions, offers and popular bets, while the most popular markets are listed below.

As you scroll down, you’ll see a selection of markets, with the most significant upcoming games being the most prominent. Each market will feature the point spread (run line in baseball, or puck line in hockey), the moneyline and the totals (in some sports, these markets don’t always apply).

On many of the broader markets, you’ll also see a “More Bets” option, which will bring up a series of additional betting markets, including prop bets.

The right-hand column is where you’ll find the bet slip.

This column is empty at first. Click on any of the odds, and the bet slip will appear and autofill with the selection. With just one selection, you can place a straight bet, or add more into the mix to place exotic bets.

Upon scrolling down to the bottom of the page, you’ll find links to other parts of the site, including “Feedback,” “Help,” the terms of service and the house rules.

William Hill Sportsbook app features and benefits

The William Hill app has a lot of things to like about it, so picking out just three was a challenge, but luckily for you we were up to the task. Here’s a look at our three favorite features of the William Hill Sportsbook app.

• Collapsible sports tabs: One of the biggest factors in what makes or breaks an online sportsbook is the ease of use and functionality of its Android and Apple apps. One of the features that makes the William Hill app work so well is the ability to collapse sports and leagues when looking for specific games you want to bet on. One of the best examples of this is if you’re betting on soccer, you click on the soccer tab and you might see the UEFA Champions League first, but if that’s not what you want, you can click on the arrow and all the Champions League games disappear. Next you minimize the Europa League and then you have the English Premier League, which is what you were looking for. You can do the same across all sports and futures markets.
• All the promotions: William Hill Sportsbook has promos going seemingly all the time, which is the whole point of sports betting, right? Whether you’re an NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB or college sports bettor, William Hill is likely to have promotions for you.
• Customer service: Let’s be honest, none of us like having to deal with customer service departments. If we’re reaching out to customer support, it’s because something went wrong, which is never good. However, what is good is the help desk at William Hill Sportsbook in Indiana. Not only is it open seven days a week, but there are four ways of getting in touch with it. You can text, chat, call or email, and there also is an FAQ page to help get your problem solved. While we hope you never experience a problem at William Hill, we are confident that if you do, it will be able to get it fixed for you as soon as possible.

How could William Hill Sportsbook improve?

Listen, we already have stated that we believe William Hill is one of the better sportsbooks in the state of Indiana; however, that does not mean we think everything William Hill does is perfect. For that reason, we put together this list of three things William Hill can do to improve its Indiana sportsbook.

• More promotions for smaller bettors: In the best features section above, we wrote about how many promotions William Hill Sportsbook has, which it does, but unfortunately a lot of them are not much use to small-time players. It feels as if a majority of William Hill offers require bets of at least $50, while some of the other promos drop the wager amount to between $10-$20. Not only would we like to see more of those offers, but drop the number down even more. At the DraftKings and FanDuel sportsbooks, for example, a lot of their promotions don’t have required bet amounts. Obviously if you only wager $1, you’ll win less or get less money back if it’s a risk-free bet offer, but for some people that’s all they’re comfortable wagering.
• Add a loyalty program: It amazes us the number of sportsbooks that don’t offer loyalty or reward programs to their customers. William Hill Sportsbook has a great promo code offer for new customers, but nothing in terms of a loyalty program after that. How about adding a tiered system that rewards bettors for how much money they wager, how many days in a row they bet a certain amount of money or even for how many people they refer to the sportsbook?
• Allow the app to rotate: We’re guessing some of you out there could not care less if an app rotates. Maybe you do all your sports betting on the William Hill website or always use your iPhone/iPad or Android phone or tablet in the vertical position, but for everyone else, this complaint is for you. Not being able to use the William Hill app by turning your device sideways can be a major pain. For tablets with keyboard attachments in particular this can be a big hassle, but depending on how you like to hold your device, it can hamper you, too. We know it’s not as simple as just pressing a button to make a rotatable app, that doesn’t change the fact we still love sportsbook apps that can be viewed multiple ways.

As well as those three traditional markets, you’ll also find prop bets, and period betting on all of the games and individual teams. Check our guides to betting on the Pacers and betting on the Chicago Bulls for more. The NBA Championship winners and the NCAA Championship, aka March Madness, are the most popular futures markets.

• Soccer: In the soccer section, the main focus is on the English Premier League and events such as the UEFA Champions League. MLS also appears while the betting action is at its most intense during the big international events, such as the World Cup events.
• Tennis: Tennis is one of the most popular sports for live betting. The stop-start nature of the game makes it ideal for placing wagers between points. You’ll find coverage of tours such as the ATP and WTA, while there is a real focus on the sport around the four grand slam events.

Alongside the most popular sports listed above, there are also an array of other sports for you to wager on.

International sports such as Australian rules football will also appear during their respective seasons.

Indiana teams you can bet on

Getting the opportunity to bet on your favorite pro and college teams is one of the more exciting parts about sports betting being legal in Indiana. Not only is it fun to bet on the local teams, but it can be profitable, as well. Often you’re able to do the best when wagering on the teams you know the best. Our main advice is to bet with your head, not your heart. Having said that, here’s our look at the Indiana teams you can bet on at William Hill.

• Indianapolis Colts (NFL): The Colts have played in Indianapolis since the 1984 NFL season. Previously they played in Baltimore from 1953-1983. During the team’s more than 30 years in Indiana, the Colts have gone to the Super Bowl twice, winning Super Bowl XLI 29-17 against the Chicago Bears and losing to the New Orleans Saints 31-17 in Super Bowl XLIV. Quarterback Peyton Manning is arguably the greatest player in Colts history. Manning won four regular season MVP awards, was named MVP of Super Bowl XLI and won the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award in 2005. William Hill has tons of NFL bets to choose from, including live, in-game betting.
• Indiana Pacers (NBA): The Pacers began play as an American Basketball Association team in 1967. They won three ABA championships before joining the NBA in 1976. Since that time, Indiana has reached the NBA Finals just once, losing to the Los Angeles Lakers in six games in 2000. The Pacers play their home games at Bankers Life Fieldhouse and have done so since 1999.
• College football: Indiana is home to seven college football teams that you can bet on at William Hill. Four of them are in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), while the remaining three are part of the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS). The FBS teams are: the Ball State Cardinals, Indiana Hoosiers, Notre Dame Fighting Irish and Purdue Boilermakers. The FCS teams are: the Butler Bulldogs, Indiana State Sycamores and Valparaiso Crusaders. The FBS games always should have odds available at William Hill, while some of the FCS games might not from time to time if the matchup isn’t deemed big enough to warrant them.
• Men’s college basketball: As for college basketball, the Hoosier State has 10 teams spread across six conferences that you can wager on at William Hill Sportsbook. In the Missouri Valley Conference you have: Indiana State, Valparaiso and the Evansville Purple Aces. In the Big Ten there are: Indiana and Purdue. The Horizon League has: IUPUI Jaguars and Purdue Fort Wayne Mastodons. While there’s one team each in the ACC (Notre Dame), Big East (Butler) and MAC (Ball State). William Hill has plenty of odds available for NCAA basketball games throughout the season for all the teams listed above, and all the other teams throughout the country.

William Hill futures betting

If you are unfamiliar, futures betting has to do with wagers that involve more than just one game or one event. Some common futures markets you will see at most sportsbooks in Indiana will be for teams to win the championship or for players to be named the MVP in their league. Below we have put together a look at the futures markets William Hill has for our Indiana professional and college teams.

• Colts and the NFL: You can bet on the Colts to win the Super Bowl, the AFC or the AFC South. You can bet on any other team in the league to do the same, albeit for their respective conference and division, of course. We really like how William Hill has the NFL team futures organized; you can either go team-by-team for all the bets we mentioned or have it broken down by futures market. As for player futures at William Hill’s online sportsbook, you can bet on who will win the MVP and Offensive Rookie of the Year awards.
• Pacers and the NBA: You can wager on the Pacers to win the NBA championship or the Eastern Conference. You obviously can pick any of the other 29 NBA teams to win their conference or the NBA title, too. On the player side of things, William Hill has futures for the regular season MVP winner, and prior to the NBA draft, the sportsbook has odds for which player will be the first overall selection.
• NCAA football: William Hill has college football futures markets for the national championship winner and for the winner of seven conferences. Those conferences are the SEC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac 12, MAC and Mountain West. There is not a futures market for the Heisman Trophy winner, but that very easily could be added in the future.
• NCAA basketball: William Hill’s men’s college basketball futures market is a little lacking, but it still is not bad at all. The only market available is for picking the overall national champion, although William Hill does list 124 teams with odds, including Indiana, Purdue, Notre Dame and Butler. If any other Indiana schools are having a good year and especially if they qualify for the Big Dance, it is likely they will have odds at that time. Other sportsbooks we’ve seen also have odds for which teams will reach the Final Four and also for winning a few of the bigger conferences.

Is William Hill the best sportsbook in Indiana?

Sports betting still is very much in its infancy in Indiana, so proclaiming an overall No. 1 is difficult at this point, but we are comfortable in writing that William Hill is one of the better sportsbooks in the state.

William Hill has some great promotions throughout the year, but we do think it could improve them some (check out our improvement section below), and the lack of a loyalty programs hampers the sportsbook, as well.

But the William Hill app works great on iOS and Android, its customer support team is one of the best in the industry and the William Hill promo offer for new customers is top-notch.

Hopefully in the near future we will have a clear idea of which sportsbook in Indiana is the cream of the crop.
