Plonkers. If they'd marketed and managed it better they could have turned it into a reason to regularly visit their shops. As it was it must have been profitable, but as we saw with the tote ten to follow, not profitable enough for the greedy accountants who run these bookmakers. I shall boycott their shops just because I can.

"William Hill reserves the right to limit the eligibility of customers to participate in these promotions".......I wonder how many ARE eligible.
£10m to secure the TV rights, and then they stop a huge proportion of their market betting with them. I'm no genius, win some, lose some, and only go up to £50 win or £25 ew, and they've blackballed me ages ago.
A very peculiar business model.

Online turnaround boosts Hills net revenue
By Andrew Dietz 7:37AM 14 NOV 2016
WILLIAM HILL have reported a six per cent net revenue growth for the second half of the year to date with early signs of improved performance in their previously struggling online division.
With greater emphasis placed on football and enhancements made to the mobile sportsbook, online amounts wagered increased six per cent with gross win margin up 8.4 per cent after favourable football results.
Although there was no change to total net revenue in retail,(Betting Shops) the firm's international business prospered after significant net revenue growth in Australia and the US.
Interim chief executive Philip Bowcock said: "In this period we have continued to focus on online's turnaround, identifying efficiencies and international growth.
"Online has returned to wagering growth in the UK following significant enhancements to our mobile sportsbook in Q2 and we are making good progress on the gaming and user experience improvements in H2, further helped by the Grand Parade team we acquired in August. We will complete the heavy lifting on online’s changes in Q1.

^ Strewth - Talk about 'corporate speak'.
Sounds like one of those self-seeking Art or Film Reviewers - full of every adjective and adverb that they can think - irrespective of their relevance or not.
--------------
Bowcock added: "Looking forward, we remain on track to deliver 2016 operating profit at the top end of our guided range. With our significantly improved products and user experience, we are confident that this is the right time to invest further in our online business."
New appointments
William Hill have also appointed three new non-executive directors to its board, including John O'Reilly, who initiated an upturn in Coral's online business.
Joining O'Reilly, also a previous board member at Ladbrokes, is Mark Brooker, former chief operating officer at Betfair and Robin Terrell, who moves from Tesco.
Reaction to results
"The cost efficiencies should be well received, and leave the group with scope to reinvest or give it some mitigation against any regulatory headwinds.
In early morning trading, William Hill's share price had risen 3.21 per cent to 292.70p.
