William Hill is owned by Evoke plc, which used to go by the name of 888 Holdings Limited, but that has not always been the case. It has had many owners since it was founded in 1934 and the sister sites element is thus rather new for the bookie which, by the way, certainly is up there as one of the best in the UK.
Evoke's takeover was completed in 2022 and this brought William Hill under the 888 umbrella, with sister sites thus including the likes of 888sport and Mr Green. However, which we will expand on below, we do not recommend joining either of these sites. Compared to other sister sites formula such as Coral, the sites are just not that similar.
Below, we have listed the sister sites and alternatives to William Hill in the UK.
Below, we take a closer look at some good alternatives for current William Hill customers, as well as one traditional sister site that is worth joining.
This bookie used to be semi-popular among UK punters but the reputation has certainly taken a hit in the last few years. The welcome offers up for grabs have progressively gotten worse and the sportsbook largely has not kept up with the times. Compared to the impressive sportsbook of William Hill, 888sports lacks various features such as a comprehensive bet builder tool.
In addition to this, the minimum amounts for both deposits and withdrawals are much higher, while there are not as many methods to pick from. All things considered, therefore, 888sport has a long way to go before it can be considered an adequate alternative to William Hill. Is it an okay bookie? Yes, just not anywhere near its sister.
We would be remiss not to mention a newer option on the market, seeing as some punters will already have an account with the established William Hill alternatives. We have decided to go with Virgin Bet here, as the bookie has grown a lot in recent years and also used Kambi for the sportsbook, like its sister site LiveScore Bet.
The withdrawal times are rapid, at least they were in our test, and there is also a popular promotion called FIVES that new customers will love. All in all, we definitely recommend signing up and claiming the welcome offer, as even the casino section features everything you need (albeit there is no welcome offer for this section).
Our final pick of William Hill alternatives is another established bookie, namely Coral. Even those who do not bet have surely seen the branding before and while Coral could have exploited this, this is not the case. Indeed, the reputation is backed up with a fantastic sportsbook and an impressive casino section as well.
There are many great promotions, including the Rewards Grabber, and the welcome offer was recently increased to a whopping £40 in free bets. We really enjoyed our time testing the Coral app as well, so we have no complaints about the bookie. Then again, most punters probably have an account here already.
As most of you might know already, Mr Green is a casino-only site and thus it cannot be considered a good alternative to William Hill either. Most of the latter's customers are sports punters and although some might enjoy the occasional casino game, it is not ideal. None of this matters, though, as Mr Green decided to exit the UK market in October 2024.
