Irish customers: Credit Card restrictions



Q: Why have deposits via credit cards been stopped?

A: As a result of changes coming in to law in relation to the Betting (Prohibition on Use of Credit Cards) Bill, we’ve stopped accepting deposits from credit cards.

We've removed the ability to deposit using a credit card for all customers registered as living in Ireland - even if your credit card is issued by a non-Irish bank.

Q: What do I need to do if I only had a credit card registered to my account?

A: Just log in to your William Hill account and add another payment method, such as a debit card or Bank Transfer.

Your credit card will no longer show as a deposit option, and your new method will automatically become your default.

A: No, you don’t need to do anything.

Your credit card will no longer show as a deposit option, and your alternative method will automatically become your default deposit method.

Q: Can I change my registered country (and continue to use a credit card)?

A: We can only change your registered country if you’ve moved, and we’d need your ID and new proof of address documents first.

We'll then need to close your existing account and open a new one for you.

Q: Can I still withdraw back to my credit card?

A: Yes, it works the same way it did before – so if your deposit came from a credit card, you can still withdraw back to the same method.
