William Hill has announced that it expects a material impact on revenue and earnings from the novel coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, and has therefore suspended its 2019 dividend to retain financial resources within the business.

  • William hill Closed my account. William hill Closed my account and 3 of my friends accounts 2 days after we open the account! I deposited 300 euros and make about 720 euros for 2 days and they closed my account asking me for so many documents. Im tired from this things. I play mistake odds from william hill so i think they catch me from this, but anyway if someone know something about this.
  • Twitter has suspended the account of Gateway Pundit, a far-right website run by Jim Hoft. Hoft used the account to peddle false claims, including that the 2020 election results were invalid.

About William Hill Founded by William Hill himself, William Hill betting shops were born in the UK and have offered sports fans a superior betting experience for over 87 years. Hill was a self-starter who bet it all on himself, and this mindset has carried over for nearly a century as the betting and gaming company has become a leader in its.

While the operator said it was too soon to determine the impact of Covid-19, it faces significant disruption from the suspension of professional sports – with 53% of 2019 revenue coming from sports betting – and the closure of US casinos.

However, to offer an idea of the sort of disruption it faces, it has estimated a decline in earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation of between £100m (€110.2m/$122.9m) and £110m in 2020. This has been determined based on a series of expected outcomes.

It believes that UK and international football is most likely to resume in August – a month later than GVC Holdings’ estimate – with the summer’s Uefa European Football Championship to either be cancelled or pushed back to 2021.

It expects its UK retail estate to be shuttered for a month, horse racing’s Grand National and Royal Ascot festival to be cancelled, and US sports to resume in time for the new National Football League season in September.

However, each month that its retail estate is closed would lead to an additional EIBITDA reduction of between £25m to £30m.

“These are truly unprecedented times but William Hill has been around for 86 years and over that time we have gained huge experience and understanding of our customers,” the operator’s chief executive Ulrik Bengtsson said. “People want to place sports bets and they will continue to do so where possible.

“In recent days we have seen betting on horses, greyhounds, international football and our well-stablished virtual sports.”

Faced with this situation, the William Hill board has decided to suspend its 2019 dividend, due to be proposed at its Annual General Meeting on 15 May, until further notice.

The operator added that it has a “robust financial position” and liquidity to absorb the impact of the scenario it has outlined. Furthermore, it has an undrawn committed revolving credit facility of £425m, William Hill added, and is working closely with banking partners to further enhance its liquidity position.

The operator said it has already taken a number of mitigating actions to reduce its variable cost base and manage cash flow, as well as a series of measures to ensure normal operations. Large parts of the group had already transitioned to working from home.

“We are taking action to maintain our operational capability, to secure and enhance our liquidity and to ensure we are in a strong position to resume full operations when the sporting calendar returns to normal,” Bengtsson said.
“We have been quick to initiate our business continuity plans, which have been in place for some weeks, with our colleague’s and customer’s welfare highest on the agenda,” he added. “Large parts of the business continue to operate on a ‘business as usual’ basis.”

William Hill is the latest operator to publish an estimate of the impact of Covid-19 on its business today (16 March). Earlier, GVC Holdings revealed that up to £150m of EBTIDA could be wiped out by the pandemic, while Flutter Entertainment said its earnings will be down by up to £110m.

The Stars Group, which is to merge with Flutter later this year, did not provide any estimates on the potential impact on earnings. However, it noted that with 62% of revenue coming from poker and gaming in 2019, the sporting shutdown would have less of an effect.

Ruling

Found for the Player - William Hill have refused to discuss complaints. As such we have nothing but the player's account to base an assessment on.

Player's Complaint

I have had my WH account for around a year now, and have been active on it. I bet on a whole range of sports: Football, Horses, Tennis, you name it! I was genuinely content with the service provided by WH until this issue happened:

On the 15th of May, there was an ITF Tennis Match in Spain. While I was placing bets on horses, I decided to scan the live tennis scores and this one match caught my eye. Player X and Player Y , Although Player X was leading the first set heavily (he eventually went on to win the 1st set), every single game was taken to deuce, therefore the odds of 13/1 for Player Y looked particularly interesting. So I staked 200 on Player Y to win at 13/1 odds.

I had a feeling that it would be a long shot bet, but I was feeling lucky today. To my amazement, Player Y won the 2nd and 3rd sets convincingly at 6-1 . 6-0 respectively. I was feeling extra lucky that my long shot bet had come in, but little did I know this is when the issue started:

Under the 'Open Bets' section, where your potential winnings should be written, there were the letters 'DNS'. I inquired as to what this meant and they said that not to worry as they were settling some late bets.

I waited 24 hours, 48 hours, to receive an email saying that my account has been suspended and would not be reopened , and my winnings and initial deposit of 200 were being confiscated. After many back and forth emails, I found out that the account was suspended due to 'suspicious betting patterns regarding the tennis match' and that the match is under investigation. 2-3 weeks later, after contacting the TIU and other bookmakers, I come to find out that this match's investigation has actually been concluded and dismissed for any foul play and that the other bookies have paid out their customers concerning this match.

Whereas here I am, 5 months later, constantly sending back and forth emails to WH who always revert back to the same message 'sorry the investigation is still underway'.

I think this is a case of stalling tactics to make me give up on the money and funds, but the manner in which they have done so has left me very frustrated and I will fight for it as much as I can. It is especially annoying that they are withholding my deposit, and that can usually only be done when they suspect criminal activity (from what I understand after my weeks of research).

Any input on this matter would be greatly appreciated

Hi mr247,

Thanks for providing that information. I've confirmed the details of the match in question and there do not appear to be any reports of the results of the match being questioned by any official bodies.

While we will make efforts to discuss this issue with William Hill I do need you to be aware from the outset that William Hill routinely refuse to discuss complaints with this service. As such the chances of us being able to help are low.

Hi ThePOGG,

Thanks for your prompt reply.

I understand that William Hill can and will prove to be difficult to discuss with regarding this matter, this is why my chats with them for the past 5 months have gotten me nowhere!

However, I would appreciate any kind of hep from your part, any help is better than no help, despite low chances of success.

Thanks

Hi mr247,

Unfortunately our dialogue with William Hill regarding this issue has broken down and at this point I have no reasonable expectation of this situation changing in the foreseeable future.

All I can recommend you do at this stage - as a UK citizen - is contact this group's ADR IBAS.

Sorry we could not be of more help!
