William Hill is arguably the UK's best known bookmaker, traditionally offline with a large retail presence but recently starting to dominate the online market too.

So, how do they stack up for lotto bettors? The answer, unfortunately, is not good.

Firstly, there’s no welcome offer for lotto customers. Other bookmakers offer welcome offers when you sign up - see sign up offers here.

Secondly, William Hill are universally poor odds for lottery. Their Irish Lotto odds are worse than all bookmakers apart from Ladbrokes. Their 49’s odds are way behind the competition. Their Daily Millions odds are average.

Finally, lottery seems to be on the William Hill site as an afterthought. It’s hidden away on a sub-menu on the sports pages. There’s no app and generally the process of placing a lotto bet is clunky and cumbersome. There’s no estimated returns shown - for example, say you bet £0.25 per line on 3 balls Irish lotto at 610/1 - any idea what you would win? All other bookmakers calculate this for you.

One slightly redeeming feature is the minimum bet - other bookmakers limit the minimum bet to £0.25 or £0.50, William Hill have a minimum bet of £0.01. This is actually quite useful if you want to bet on exotic bets such as Yankees and Canadians.

Although William Hill don't feature the lotto results on their website, luckily for you, we have a page for the William Hill Irish Lottery Results.

At William Hill, you can bet on the next 8 Irish lotto draws and the next 8 draws on the 49's lotto (on either lunchtime or teatime as they have to be placed separately.)

Shop around at william hill

Do not be fooled, William hill offer different prices for the lotto depending where you shop. So a shop near a competitor has better odds than a william hill not near one, and they actually out do their competitors in the pricing when you shop like this. They also do a will any 3 to come bet which of course has smaller odds, but is a cracking little bet you can get in shop. Your number can come out over any three draws! So for example 1 number on the first draw and 2 on the second etc... Its not about simply look online and see what you get with William hill, it's shop around and be amazed. And as for free bets, if you sign up to a plus card in shop and link it to your account and download the plus app you get free bets that way, again shop around and be amazed, there is a lot on offer with William Hill.

Poor odds

William Hill need to step up.....worst odds available for all lotto games. I'm surprised the company gets any regular punters.
