Restrictions for US clients:
Pending clarification of the scope and enforceability of the Wire Act and applicability of state and federal laws as regards online gambling by US citizens, William Hill have taken steps to cease accepting casino and poker business from clients with a US address or US issued credit cards.

Such steps are already in place to prevent Internet sports betting by US domiciled individuals.

Existing US clients with funds in their account may only log into their account to withdraw all funds. This can be achieved by following this link - http://www.willhill.com

The recent court date for BETonSPORTS provided some confirmation on what we have heard from within the BOS operation - that things are moving forward, behind the scenes, with the US Department of Justice. We had reported last month that lawyers from BETonSPORTS had been working discreetly with the DOJ on matters such as payout methodology, foreign customers and the TRO.

It looks like players will be required to take a check. For this to happen, BETonSPORTS will need players’ current addresses and only the name on the account will be able to take the payout. Thus, if you recently got divorced and the account was in your wife’s name – she is going to get the payout when money starts to flow. If you have moved or had a zip code change or gotten married and changed your last name or entered the witness protection program, you should contact BETonSPORTS at (866) 481-3057 or use the form that we have setup on our website.

Basically, we have been told that when the floodgates open, BETonSPORTS will contact each player that has been in touch with them, verify the information and cut a check. If the information that they have on file is incorrect or outdated, that players’ payout may be delayed. Fill out the BOS Payout Request form here.
