I wish to inform you that William Hill has today taken steps to cease accepting Casino and Poker business from US clients for the foreseeable future.

Please note that this decision will not affect any existing US generated commissions you may be entitled to.

All US registered clients are being informed of these changes and will be advised how to withdraw any existing balances they may have on their account.

However should any of your registered players contact you concerning the withdrawal of an existing account balance please advise them they can access their accounts via the following URL: http://www.willhill.com/ They will then need to login, and by selecting 'My Account', they will be able to choose 'Make a Withdrawal'

As usual Rakeback payments will still be made to all players accounts before the 6th of October and players can access these funds by following the instructions above.

So the good news is that players will be able to get rakeback for September as normal and withdraw it in a normal fashion. This is definitely a break from the norm of extreme overkill from other rooms where they close your account completely and send you a cheque 3 weeks later. Well done WH on that front.

On the downside this means that there are now only really a handful of 3/4 rooms offering rakeback on the Crypto network to US players. The problem seems to be that people aren't playing on them because they were set up without rakeback, and WH was one of the last real alternative sites.

Contact your affiliate directly on how to solve this problem if you are one of those unfortunate souls with a rakeback-less account.

Kind regards
