888casino vs William Hill Casino
Here is the comparison most affiliate sites get wrong. 888casino and William Hill Casino sit under the same ultimate parent company, Evoke plc, and a great many pages therefore treat them as one operator. They are not. 888 UK Limited holds licence account 39028; WHG (International) Limited holds licence account 39225. Two licensees, two licences, two complaints processes.
That distinction is not a technicality. Self-exclude with one and you have not self-excluded with the other. Complain to one and the other's records do not follow. Only GAMSTOP covers both at once.
With the corporate question settled, the product comparison comes down to a casino-native brand against a bookmaker that added a casino — and that is the whole story of these two.

Our pick: 888casino
888casino is the better casino; William Hill Casino is the better single account if you also bet on sport. Whichever you choose, treat them as two separate licensed operators, because that is what the register says they are.
Frequently asked questions
Are 888casino and William Hill the same company?
They share an ultimate parent, Evoke plc, but they are separate UKGC licensees on separate licence accounts: 888 UK Limited on 39028 and WHG (International) Limited on 39225. For regulatory purposes — complaints, self-exclusion, account closure — they are two operators.
If I self-exclude from 888casino, am I excluded from William Hill?
No. A self-exclusion applies to the licensee you lodged it with. Register with GAMSTOP if you want every Great Britain-licensed operator covered, including both of these.
Which has the better casino games?
888casino, on catalogue depth and its in-house exclusives. William Hill Casino's strength is the shared sportsbook wallet, not the lobby.
