TrueLayer partners with leading bookmaker William Hill for instant pay-ins and payouts
- Customers of the well-known UK gaming operator can now deposit and withdraw funds immediately using TrueLayer’s open banking technology
- 64% of European iGaming players said they’d be more likely to trust an operator that offers instant withdrawals and deposits
TrueLayer, Europe’s leading open banking payments network, today announced that iconic UK gaming operator William Hill is now using TrueLayer’s Payments product to enable instant pay-ins and payouts for players in the UK.
Users can now select the Instant Bank Transfer option to quickly pay into their William Hill accounts. Powered by open banking and using instant payment rails, these transactions also allow customers to transfer their winnings directly to their bank account in seconds, offering a superior user experience.
Payments from TrueLayer are authenticated directly with a player’s bank, ensuring PSD2 and SCA compliance as well as significantly reducing the risk of fraud and unauthorised transactions.
One of the UK’s most notable bookmakers, William Hill has been a leading name in UK gaming since 1934. Its key offerings include sports betting, casino games, bingo and poker.
Open banking payments facilitate the instant experiences that iGaming customers increasingly value. Research from TrueLayer and YouGov shows that 8 in 10 European players consider quick payouts important when choosing a betting provider.
Instant pay-ins and payouts are also crucial to winning new users and fostering customer loyalty. More than half (55%) of iGaming players in Europe said they were likely to switch to a provider that offers instant providers, while 64% said they’d be more likely to trust an operator that offers instant withdrawals and deposits. One in four customers (28%) even said they’d consider depositing more money if they could withdraw their winnings instantly.
Laura Manning, Payments Manager at William Hill, said: “William Hill greatly values customer experience and partnering with TrueLayer is an important power move in providing a top-notch service to our clients. By using their unparalleled payment solutions, we’re able to offer instant payment options whilst providing reliable and secure services and keeping our commitments to helping our customers stay in control. Integrating with TrueLayer was seamless – they’re an agile company with a nice, smart team that’s easy to work with.”
Roberto Villani, VP of iGaming at TrueLayer said: “Working with William Hill, one of the biggest gaming brands in the UK, is a further testament to how TrueLayer is delivering the best in class instant payment experience to players. End users value instant experiences: by embracing the innovations of open banking, William Hill have shown the importance of prioritising the player experience.”

TaDa Gaming Explores an Underwater World of Wins in Poseidon
TaDa Gaming invites players to dive deep into the underwater kingdom in Poseidon and experience a game like no other in this six rows, six reels plus bonus seventh multiplier reel slot.
A treasure trove of features gives players access to Cascading Reels, Free Spins, Multipliers to 500x in the bonus game, the unique Elimination Round and 20,000x max bet win.
The Bonus reel holds the Multipliers and Special Symbols, while reels one to six take players across the ocean floor and into a world of legends with sea creatures, mermaids and the mighty god Poseidon himself.
Four Pearl Scatters will trigger Ten Free Spins with up to six Scatters triggering 14 Free Spins plus Multipliers of x2 and higher guaranteed. Each additional scatter will give another Free Spin. Find Four Scatters in Free Spins and retrigger the entire round.
Cascading Reels add to the magical underwater sensation. When any winning combination pays out across reels one to six, the cascading reels feature triggers and all winning symbols will be removed, with the remaining symbols falling to the bottom of the screen. Empty positions will then fill with new symbols until there are no more winning combinations. Cascading reels can trigger in the base game and in Free Spins.
Players will find themselves entranced by the unique Elimination Round feature. To keep players aware, gold edges will frame the positions when the win is awarded. The symbols will disappear after triggering the effect and the positions will refresh with each spin.
Mega Special Symbols of the Shark, Jellyfish and Octopus will also appear across the screen in this randomly triggered round and each brings a unique bonus.
Special Symbols of 2×2, 3×3 and 4×4 are the shark’s gift. The Jellyfish will transform all symbols on reels one – six to higher paying ones and the Octopus will add all the Multipliers together to increase the winning stake payout.
Multipliers come from the Air Bubble and the Treasure Chest Special Symbols on the bonus reel, with 1x from the Air Bubble to 2x-8x for the Blue Chest; 10x-25x for the Brown Chest and a legendary 50x-500x for the Royal Purple Chest.
Each time a Multiplier is awarded in any round, the value will show on the board to the left of the screen, giving players an easy way to calculate the wins.
Combining mythology and underwater creatures in smooth play and stunning graphics with an edgy soundtrack all add to the thrills in this engaging and immersive medium volatility game. Plus, intuitive mechanics will locate a horizontal row across the top of the screen for mobile play and a vertical row for tablets or desktop for the bonus reel, keeping the grid visually easy to view.
Sean Liu, Head of Product Management at TaDa Gaming, said: “Poseidon’s ocean kingdom is busy! Players need to stay on full alert throughout the game as all the features interact with each other and trigger randomly. The Multiplier bonus reel brings significant uplift to the already strong win potential for truly engaging play.”
