William Hill Review. Few brands are as well-known as this one when it comes to gambling. William Hill started out in 1934 as a small, illegal operation behind closed doors. The company was originally designed to offer a postal and telephone betting service. However, at this time gambling was neither regulated or legal.

The purchase of William Hill wasn't without some drama, of course. Apollo Global Management was also interested, but Caesars made it clear if Apollo won the bidding war, Caesars would pull the plug on its deal with William Hill.
William Hill has an existing partnership with Caesars Entertainment, running its sports book operations at Caesars casinos in 16 states across the U.S.

For example, in August 2020, Nevada casinos made $17 million from sports betting. That's all Nevada casinos, combined. Before taxes and expenses.
While $475 million was wagered, the 'hold' was a mere 3.58 percent.
We keep hearing people talking about the 'fast-growing legal sports betting industry in the U.S.,' so we're probably missing something.
What Is William Hill Plus
Casino companies are obviously betting big on the potential future growth of online sports wagering, and online gambling in general.
Ultimately, such acquisitions tend to be about data. Yours, specifically. Each of these companies have valuable databases, and now they get to share.
It's unlikely sports bettors will see many changes to their favorite sports books resulting from this deal.
Opinions vary widely about William Hill, with approximately one percent of its customers kvetching 24/7, but the company pretty much owns the sports book realm in Las Vegas.
