What is the Plus Card?

The Plus card is a free, contactless or Digital card that makes it easy to tag your bets for tracking.
A contactless card is available from LBOs and is registered in-shop using the William Hill Self Service Betting Terminal.

Speak to a member of the shop team for more details.
At present, Digital Plus cards cannot be used on gaming machines, only contactless cards picked up in-shop.
We'll be looking to add this feature soon.

How do I register my Plus card?

Simply pick up a new Plus card from any of our participating shops and hold it against the contactless reader on the William Hill Self Service Terminal and follow the on-screen instructions.
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!
To register a new Digital Plus card, you must hold a active William Hill online account at present.

Click this to load the registration page, where you fill out some details about yourself to create an account.
Once your account is created, open the 'Account' menu and then click 'Digital Plus card' to activate your card.
You may be asked to confirm your phone number before the card is activated.
Your Digital Plus card will automatically be linked to your online account.

I have a contactless card. Can I convert it to a Digital Plus card?

Yes absolutely. You must hold a William Hill online account at present.
If you don't already, the simplest way to create one is to download the William Hill Sportsbook app, where you will see a 'Join' button.

I didn’t receive a text confirming my registration.

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 Self Service 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 of it responsibly.

I can’t register because the machine says my mobile number is already in use. Is it possible you already registered a card against the same mobile number?

You can only register your mobile number against one Plus card at any time. To check:

Go to the Plus Web App and try to verify your mobile number.
- If you receive a verification code: 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.
- If you don't receive a verification code: Please try again.
- If you still don't receive a verification code: Please reach out to our Customer Service Team via Live Chat for help.

TRACK A BET

How do I track a bet?

Any bets placed on William Hill Plus Terminals can be tracked - either by tapping your contactless Plus card when you place your bet, or scanning your Digital Plus card on the barcode scanner.
You can also type the 18-character slip number into the Plus Web App.
If you have a Plus card but forgot to tag your bet when placing it, you can still tag it for tracking by scanning the bet slip barcode on any William Hill Plus Terminal and tapping your card against the contactless card reader, or scanning your digital Plus card against the barcode reader.
You can also go to your Plus Web App account and manually entering the slip number by pressing 'Add Bets'.

Can I track a bet after I have left a shop?

If you didn't track your bet upon placement, you can do so manually.

To track a bet manually:

Go to the Plus Web App.
Click on Get Started.
Choose the option to 'Add your bets manually'.

You'll be prompted to type in the 18-character bet slip number and then you can track the bet.

NOTE: A maximum number of 10 slips can be tracked at the same time using this process and you won't be able to see your full bet history.

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

Absolutely. The Plus Web 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.

I have placed a bet using my online funds and tracked it with my Plus Web App. How do I get my winnings?

When you place a bet funded from your online account, any returns are automatically transferred back into your online account balance.
These bets are highlighted with the 'Plus' symbol and are shown in your settled bets tab of the Plus Web App.
They are also displayed within the 'My Transactions' listing within the WH Sports app, highlighted with the 'Plus' symbol.

Can I place a bet in-shop using my online balance?

Yes. Just select your bets on our Self Service terminal, (don't load any cash into it) and when you want to place your bet, press the place bet button, and you will see a message telling you to scan your plus card in the same way you do when you track a bet.
When you do that, you'll have to enter your 4-digit PIN and the bet will be placed using your online funds.
Your online balance will immediately be reduced.
Any winnings from a bet placed using online funds will immediately go back into your online account balance.

CASHOUT

How do I 'Cash-out' a bet?

The option to ‘Cash-out’ your bet is only available on the Plus Web App - you won’t currently find it on the William Hill Self Service Terminals.
When you look at an open bet in the Plus Web App, it will clearly display the current ‘Cash-out’ value for your bet or show that ‘Cash-out’ is suspended if the market isn’t available for ‘Cash-out’ at the present time.
To take the ‘Cash-out’ price offered:

Press the blue ‘Cash-in’ button at the bottom of the screen.
You’ll be prompted to confirm your choice, select 'Yes'.
You'll see a message pop-up confirming the bet was ‘Cashed-out’.

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 ‘Cash-out’ value is still available.
If, due to changes in the event or market concerned, (Goal being scored, Penalty awarded etc.) the ‘Cash-out’ value has changed significantly between the time it was displayed on screen and the time our system received confirmation of your ‘Cash-out’ request, a message will tell you that your ‘Cash-out’ request could not be completed and you'll return to the previous screen where an updated cash-out value will be displayed.
For bets where none of the selections are in-play, there will be no delay.

Why is 'Cash-out' suspended?

There are several reasons why ‘Cash-out’ may be temporarily suspended for a particular bet, depending on the status of the market, including:

The odds are not available for operational or trading reasons;
The event is in-play but betting is temporarily suspended for a goal, penalty or other significant match event;
Betting is unavailable on one or more of the selections contained in the bet.
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.

NOTES: If the ‘Cash-out’ value changes during your transaction, the transaction won't be completed and a revised settlement value will be offered, which will have to be accepted before proceeding.

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

Why was my 'Cash-out' request unsuccessful?

On live events, there can be a delay between a customer's request to Cash-Out and the payout amount being confirmed.
When a request is processed, if the actual 'Cash-out' value is suspended for any of the reasons above, your request will be unable to be completed.
You will be returned to your original bet where an updated 'Cash-out' value will be displayed.

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

Will cash-out always be available?

Although we try to offer a cash-out value on EVERY market and EVERY sport, once an event starts, to be able to offer a cash-out 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 cash-out value will be suspended.
There are also some market types which are complex which make it extremely difficult to calculate cash-out values.
It isn't possible to provide a fully comprehensive list of all markets and events, and it is 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 is not suitable it's not possible to offer live odds and the markets must be suspended to ensure inaccurate cash-out values aren't offered.

NOTE: William Hill accepts no liability for any losses incurred in the event a request to cash out a bet is not possible due to a cash-out value not being available.

How much can I deposit a day?

There are various reasons why a withdrawal request on the Plus Web App may be declined or not processed successfully. For assistance, please reach out to our Customer Service Team via Live Chat to review this further.

Until we can validate this information, you won’t be able to withdraw funds from your account. If this is the case, we will already have contacted you via e-mail to explain what you need to do.
Breach of rules: We have many rules working in the background to protect your account and also comply with regulations. Some of these rules may prevent a withdrawal from being completed

Make sure that the name on your ID matches the name on your williamhill.com account as we cannot process withdrawal requests unless it fully matches.
