William Hill was founded in 1934. Back then, there were no online casinos. The internet was unheard of. It began as an underground gambling den in 1929 run by William Hill – the businessman it was named after. Casinos don't last this long; unless they're doing something right. In the last twenty years, they've opened multiple physical shops in the UK. William Hill is a sportsbook, a casino, a live casino and a poker room all in one. Even though the British make up the largest percentage of their market share, William Hill is a Gibraltar based sportsbook. They are licensed in Gibraltar, in Spain, In Sweden and in the USA where they are the most popular sportsbook and casino.

William Hill Live-betting & Live-streaming
All the mainstream events can be wagered in-play. For all the popular sports (soccer, rugby basketball and tennis) there's almost an active in-play event where you can wager. Navigate to the in-play section to see their live events.
There's even a streaming switch which you can flip to only see events that you can livestream via their website (for free).
In play events may not always have the same markets as upcoming ones. Sportsbooks stay in business by leveraging risk. If a penalty kick is about to be taken, William Hill – just like all the other bookies – will grey out most markets. Spreads update automatically and you don’t have to manually refresh the page to see the most recent odds.

William Hill Retail Locations in The United States
They call them kiosks and most of them are in Nevada. These kiosks look like ATM machines and they'll let you deposit, withdraw and place bets. Instead of having to make a line at the teller's counter, you can just use these kiosks. You'll need a valid driver's license while depositing and withdrawing with them though; as a security feature. There are at least 100 kiosks in the 17 states William Hill operates in and you can access this extensive list on their website.
