The WH Mobile Welcome Bonus applies only to new users form the State of Nevada. and includes up to $50 in bonus cash which can be claimed by registering for a mobile betting account and making a first deposit. The bonus amount awarded will be 10% of your first deposit up to $50. For example a $200 first deposit will get you $20 in bonus money.
William Hill Opinion: The Welcome Bonus is not particularly enticing compared to other popular sportsbooks that offer 100% bonuses on first deposits up to much larger maximums. The bonus also has a minimum deposit of $50 and a wagering requirement that states the bonus will only be released after the total initial deposit amount has been wagered through once.

William Hill currently provides US-based users will a limited range of betting markets which include Football, Soccer, Basketball, Baseball, Horse Racing, Hockey, Boxing/MMA and Auto Racing. The lack of a wide range of sports is somewhat made up for by the extensive range of betting markets available for each sport. A number of prop bets and specials are available for most sports giving users betting markets they may not be able to access at most other American sportsbooks. For example, special Football bets are available each week for Football Sunday with boosted odds.
