Written By Derek Helling on January 30, 2021Last Updated on June 24, 2021

Experience and reputation hold significant weight in various industries, including sports betting. This holds true for William Hill Sportsbook, which has recently expanded its decades of expertise to Old Dominion. As a result, it has launched its latest sports betting app, now available in VA.

Additionally, this app is the second one to be introduced in Virginia in conjunction with the upcoming casinos. Although it bears the name William Hill, the license is actually held by Caesars Entertainment, the organization supporting the soon-to-be-established Caesars Danville casino.

In an effort to surpass previous state launches, this one also offers an enticing welcome bonus for new customers. With just a few clicks, you can indulge in a first bet that is completely risk-free, with the potential to reach up to $500.

How to get started with William Hill

Similar to all other online sportsbooks in Virginia, you have the option to access it either through your computer desktop or by using a mobile app on your phone.

In order to use the William Hill app, you must first download the appropriate version for your device. They have a specific app for Virginia, so it is important to ensure you have the correct one. Whether your device operates on Android or iOS, the sportsbook has you covered. The iOS app can be found in the App Store, but to ensure you get the right app, it may be simpler to download it directly from the William Hill website. Android users will need to obtain the app from the website since the Google Play Store does not permit betting apps.

Next, you will be required to complete the registration process for your new account. To ensure your eligibility for online sports betting in VA, William Hill will request the following information from you:

  • Date of birth
  • Email address
  • The last four digits of your Social Security number.
  • Legal name
  • Mailing address

Once your verification is confirmed by the sportsbook, proceed to sign in on either the app or website. Subsequently, you will be required to deposit funds into your account in order to place a bet. William Hill strives to provide you with a wide range of deposit options, in accordance with VA law.

  • Payments made through automated clearing house (ACH) using both checking and savings accounts.
  • Credit/debit cards
  • Online banking
  • Prepaid cards
  • PayNearMe
  • E-wallet apps like PayPal

Now that you’ve reached this stage, you can explore the markets and place your first bet with a little more confidence. Thanks to William Hill, your risk is covered, making it easier to take a more daring approach with this wager.

All the details on the $500 risk-free first bet offer

The process is rather straightforward. Just make a bet of any sum. In the event of a loss, William Hill will reimburse you with site credit, matching the value of your wager, up to $500. However, there are a few administrative details to take into account.

The credit provided on the site is given in the form of a free bet. It must be utilized within seven days of receiving it, or it will no longer be valid. In the event that you win any bets using this promotional credit, your winnings will only consist of the profit made, excluding the value of the promotion.

In the event that you emerge victorious in your initial bet, you will receive your winnings in the usual manner. Regardless of the outcome of your first bet, it is anticipated to mark the beginning of an enjoyable experience with William Hill in Virginia.
