Learn which payment methods William Hill UK offers for withdrawals and the withdrawal time for each, including the fastest method available.
We put William Hill's withdrawal process to the test, requesting a withdrawal of £5 on the mobile app. We used Visa Direct as the payment method and although we expected a relatively fast payout, the outcome actually surprised us.
Indeed, the money was in the bank account within just a few minutes. It sounded too good to be true, so we ran another test. This time, the money arrived within seconds and that is certainly very impressive. As per our test, William Hill is one of the bookmakers for fast withdrawals.
William Hill is certainly one of the best bookmakers in the country, having been around for a very long time, and we have been impressed time after time by payments on the site. Seeing as many bookies have comprehensive sportsbooks these days, convenient deposits and withdrawals are a way for the big ones to stand out.
We have put together a table of all the available payment methods and the withdrawal time for each below. Please note that these are average withdrawal times, and your actual withdrawal time may vary depending on several factors, such as the time of day you make your withdrawal, the volume of withdrawals being processed, and your bank's processing times.

As seen in the table above, TrueLayer (Instant Banking) and E-wallets are the fastest way to withdraw your winnings from William Hill UK.
TrueLayer is a relatively recent addition to William Hill UK's options and cuts out the middle man, thus rivalling the E-wallet options PayPal, Skrill, Neteller and Payz. As opposed to an impressive two minutes when using TrueLayer, e-wallets can only promise processing for withdrawals within the same day.
As for Visa and Mastercard, the withdrawal time at William Hill UK is 1-3 working days depending on the bank. However, during our test, we found that withdrawals via the debit card Visa Direct arrived within just a few minutes and sometimes even seconds.
The slowest way to withdraw your winnings from William Hill UK is by bank transfer. It can take up to five days to get your money and the minimum withdrawal amount is also higher at £25.
For those who are looking to withdraw winnings from William Hill for the first time, it might not be completely obvious where to go, or what to do, to get your hands on your money - and fast. Our easy step-by-step guide for how to withdraw from William Hill has all the full details, so read on:
After opening the app, you need to tap on the profile icon in the top right of your screen, which will bring you to the main 'Profile' section. The first step is the same as when making a deposit, in other words.
After selecting the ‘Withdraw’ option in the profile section, you will be taken to the following screen. Simply enter your withdrawal amount and select the ‘Withdraw’ button.
After tapping on ‘Withdraw’ on the previous page, you will be taken to a withdrawal review screen, where the amount and withdrawal method will be clarified. If the details are correct, select ‘Withdraw’ once again.
After this, your withdrawal will be completed, and you will be provided with a ‘Transaction ID’ (though in our time using the app, we have never needed to use this). Furthermore, in our test, the money was withdrawn and arrived in the user’s bank account within seconds.
Once you have requested a withdrawal from William Hill, as per our step-by-step guide above, you can view the status of this in the 'My Transactions' section. If you tap on the withdrawal in question, it will state the date of the request and the current status, with 'Processing' being one as you can see in the image below.
It does not provide more information than that, but at least you get an estimated timeline when you complete the withdrawal request. Once it has been processed, at which point the status will change, it will usually not take long before the money is in your bank account. Methods such as Visa Direct are faster than others, of course, but every method is generally quite fast.
Unfortunately, as is the case on any betting site, punters might encounter some difficulties when withdrawing funds on William Hill. We have not experienced any issues personally, with each withdrawal being very smooth, but they do occur from time to time. First of all, punters should make sure that their accounts have been properly verified.
Secondly, punters must also double-check that the method they deposited with is used for the withdrawal as well, at least until the initial amount (i.e. the amount of the deposit) has been withdrawn. If problems persist, then we recommend contacting customer support. Most of the time, an agent will be able to help out quickly and fix the problem, which is very reassuring.
Many punters in the UK prefer to use a debit card when depositing and withdrawing funds on betting sites. William Hill is no different, with most of its customers using the payment method, and it is thus understandable that many want to find out about the withdrawal time. Fortunately, the bookie is very fast even over debit cards.
In our test, the money arrived after just a few minutes and while it was via a Visa debit card that supports Visa Direct, this is still very impressive. Indeed, from experience, withdrawals with 'standard' debit cards are also very fast on William Hill. Gone are the days when you needed to use an e-wallet to get the money quickly.

PayPal is a very popular payment method among UK punters and it is no different at William Hill, being one of the most-used ones. Like many other betting sites, the minimum withdrawal amount is set at £10 and the money usually arrives within 24 hours. From experience, though, the money will arrive after just a few hours.

Apple Pay is now widely used among people in the UK and not just for gambling. It has, however, become very popular to use on betting sites thanks to its simplicity. Instead of entering all the card details, Apple Pay makes the process very smooth and some betting sites even accept this method to claim welcome offers, though not William Hill.
In any case, although Apple Pay is not listed on William Hill's withdrawal FAQ page, we can confirm that it is available as we have withdrawn with it ourselves. The minimum withdrawal is just £5, which is great news.
