How we checked. We read William Hill's terms and help pages, the licence register and regulator records on the dates shown under Sources, and stored a copy of each page where the site allowed it. Complaint figures marked "reported" come from platforms that block our fetcher; they were read through web search and are dated. We did not deposit, play or withdraw (payout testing: not performed).
