bet365 or William Hill: comparing the published details

bet365 and William Hill both appear on the GRAI register snapshot of 6 November 2026: bet365 under Hillside (Europe) ENC, William Hill under WH Ireland Limited. Their licences were issued 14 days apart. Payments, support and in-play features could not be verified on 7 November 2026, so the table shows no difference there yet.

William Hill

William Hill: licence entry and published terms

Which licences do they hold?

The register snapshot of 6 November 2026 lists bet365 under Hillside (Europe) ENC, licence GRAI-0539-RB-26-0001, type RB, issued on 1 July 2026.

It lists William Hill under WH Ireland Limited, licence GRAI-1096-RB-26-0001, type RB, issued on 15 July 2026.

Both entries are rechecked on the day of publication, and profiles are on (page:operator/bet365) and (page:operator/william-hill).

Bottom line: two licensees and two numbers, issued 14 days apart.

Criteria table

The table has 11 rows. The first rows come from one register snapshot. Rows from operator pages are open until the pages are captured, and open cells score nothing.

Bottom line: the register rows are filled; the 6 criteria from operator pages are not yet verified.

Where they differ

The register separates the two by licensee, number and date. bet365 was licensed on 1 July 2026 and William Hill on 15 July 2026.

William Hill is entered under WH Ireland Limited, a licensee name we recheck that entry on the day of publication.

William Hill publishes terms for the Republic of Ireland on its help pages; we have not captured them, so no difference in payments, support or in-play is claimed.

Bottom line: the register separates them by licensee and date; the terms are not yet read.

Who each one suits

Read the in-play and cash out rows if you bet during events. They record what the rules say, not how well a feature works.

Read the support rows if you want a stated phone or chat channel. Opening hours are a separate row.

Read the payment rows against your own bank or wallet before you open an account.

Bottom line: each row stands for one decision you might make.

Where they are the same

Both are remote betting licences with the three-year term shown on the register.

Both licence entries are reached from the same register search, filtered by Business to Consumer.

Bottom line: same licence type, same term, same register.
