GETTING STARTED

What's Plus?

Plus allows Retail bets placed on a William Hill Self Service Betting Terminal (Plus Terminal) to be tracked anywhere at any time through the Plus Web App.


What's the Plus Card?

The Plus Card is a free, contactless card that makes it easy to tag your bets for tracking.

The card is available from our shops and is registered in-shop using the William Hill Plus Betting Terminal.


Can I use my Plus Card on the gaming machines?

Yes, you can register your card on the fixed odds gaming machines to access great offers and rewards.

You may speak to a member of the Shop Team for more details.


How do I register my Plus Card?

Simply pick up a new Plus Card from any of our shops and hold it against the contactless reader on the William Hill Plus Betting Terminal and follow the on-screen instructions.

Our shop colleagues can explain the process in more detail if needed.

You'll be asked to type in your UK mobile number, and a welcome text (including a link to the Plus website), will be sent to your phone.

That's it - your card is now registered.


How does Plus work with the payment methods on an online account?

You can place bets using your online funds on a Plus terminal regardless of the deposit method. Your winnings will automatically transfer back into your online account.

You'll only be able to withdraw or deposit cash if no more than two (2) debit cards, CashDirect or cash deposited in shop is used to fund your account.

If you have any other payment method (PayPal, additional debit card etc.) linked to your account, you won't be able to deposit and withdraw cash in shop using Plus.


I didn't receive a text confirming my registration, what should I do?

Try registering another card using your mobile number.

If you see an error message saying the number is already in use, then you can manually navigate to the Plus Web App and complete your phone verification there.


What should I do if my card gets lost or stolen?

Your card doesn't store your bet details or personal details, so your bets and privacy aren't at risk.

To continue tracking bets in the same Plus account, you should cancel the old card using the "Account" menu option in the Plus Web App and register a new one on a William Hill Plus Terminal.

This way, bets that you tagged with the old card and bets that you tag with the new card, will all be displayed in the website.

After your card has been cancelled, it won't work on any terminal and cannot be re-activated, so if you find it again you should dispose it responsibly.


I can't register because the machine says my mobile number is already in use, what should I do?

You can only register your mobile number against one Plus Card at any time.

Is it possible you already registered a card against the same mobile number?

To check:

  1. Go to the Plus Web App and try to verify your mobile number.
  2. If you receive a verification code then log in and use the Account menu option to cancel the old card. You'll then be able to register a new card to the same number: bets tracked with your old card will still be displayed when you log into the Plus Web App.
  3. If you don't receive a verification code, please try again. If you still don't receive a verification code, please call Customer Relations for help.

Cashout

How do I Cashout a bet?

The option to Cashout your bet is only available on the Plus Web App - you won't currently find it on the William Hill Plus Terminals.

When you look at an open bet in the Plus Web App it will clearly display the current Cashout value for your bet, or show that Cashout is suspended if the market isn't available for Cashout at the present time.

To take the Cashout price offered:

  • Step 1: Press the blue Cashout button at the bottom of the screen
  • Step 2: You'll be prompted to confirm your choice, select Yes.
  • Step 3: You'll see a message pop-up confirming the bet was 'Cashed-in'.

When a bet where a selection is currently live in-play (Match has started) is 'Cashed Out', there will be a delay of up to a maximum of 12 seconds whilst it is confirmed that the displayed Cashout value is still available.

If due to changes in the event or market concerned (Goal being scored, Penalty awarded etc.), the Cashout value has changed significantly between the time it was displayed on screen and the time our system received confirmation of your Cashout request, a message will tell you that your Cashout request could not be completed and you'll return to the previous screen where an updated Cashout value will be displayed.

For bets where none of the selections are in play, there will be no delay.


Why is Cashout suspended?

There are several reasons why Cashout may be temporarily suspended for a particular bet, depending on the status of the market, including:

1. The odds aren't available for operational or trading reasons.
2. The event is in-play but betting is temporarily suspended for a goal, penalty or other significant match event.
3. Betting is unavailable on one or more of the selections contained in the bet.
4. There has been a technical error with the data feed which supplies the odds and settles bets, or the device being used has lost connection to the internet for a period of time.

If the Cashout value changes during your transaction, the transaction won't push through and a revised settlement value will be offered, which will have to be accepted before proceeding.

NOTE: William Hill accepts no liability for any losses incurred in the event that a Cashout value isn't available at any time either before or during a match/event.


Why was my Cashout request unsuccessful?

On live events, there can be a delay between a customer's request to Cashout and the payout amount being confirmed.

When a request is processed, if the actual Cashout value is suspended for any of the reasons above, your request won't be completed.

You'll be returned to your original bet where an updated Cashout value will be displayed.

NOTE: William Hill accepts no liability for any losses incurred in the event a request to cashout a bet is unsuccessful.


Which markets aren't available for Cashout?

Although we try to offer a Cashout value on EVERY market and EVERY sport, once an event starts, to be able to offer a Cashout value there must be live in-play odds available.

There are a number of markets where this isn't the case, and as soon as the event starts the Cashout value will be suspended.

There are also some market types which are complex which make it extremely difficult to calculate Cashout values.

The most common ones are handicap markets (teams get a goal start etc.) and as such the majority of these markets won't provide a Cashout value.

We also can't currently offer a Cashout value on the 'Both score, no Draw' markets we offer on football.

It isn't possible to provide a fully comprehensive list of all markets and events, and it's also dependent on the type/level of event (e.g. lower league foreign football).

We rely on getting a reliable and stable data feed to enable us to manage the odds effectively, but sometimes if the feed isn't suitable, it's not possible to offer live odds and the markets must be suspended to ensure inaccurate Cashout values aren't offered.

NOTE: William Hill accepts no liability for any losses incurred in the event a request to cashout a bet isn't possible due to a Cashout value not being available.


Can I still track my bets and Cashout even if I don't have a William Hill online account?

Absolutely. The App features will still work, however you won't be able to bet online and collect those winnings in-shop or be able to bet in shop with online funds.
