# William Hill and live blackjack: what is published > William Hill live blackjack: the licensee lead, the studio to confirm and the table facts still unchecked, with sources and what to read first. Source: https://seatcheck.uk/william-hill-live-blackjack/ Updated: 2026-11-13 William Hill is linked in our starting list to WHG (International) Limited, Gambling Commission (UKGC) account number 39225, with Casino Remote and General Betting Standard Remote entries. Playtech Live is the studio we still have to confirm in the lobby. We have not re-read the register card or the lobby yet, so status, rules and limits below are marked not checked. ## Licence link to confirm Licensee in the starting list WHG (International) Limited Account number 39225 ([register card](https://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/public-register/business/detail/39225)) Activities in the starting list Casino Remote; General Betting Standard Remote Licence status Not checked yet Domain status Not checked yet Source Starting list dated 6 November 2026; register card not re-read for this page The full record, with the fields to read and the order to read them in, sits on [William Hill in the Gambling Commission register](https://seatcheck.uk/william-hill-licence/). Until that card is read, treat the number as a lead, not a finding. **Bottom line:** the licensee and account number are a lead to confirm in the register, nothing more. ## Studio and branded tables The brief for this page names Playtech Live as the studio. The two assistant answers collected on 6 November 2026 disagree: one lists Playtech and Evolution, the other only Playtech. One answer also says the lobby "includes exclusive William Hill-branded tables". That is a claim to test, not a fact. A branded label tells you who dresses the table. It does not tell you the payout or the soft 17 rule; [Branded or exclusive tables: label or different rules?](https://seatcheck.uk/are-exclusive-branded-tables-different/) explains how to separate the two. **Bottom line:** the studio list is unconfirmed, and a branded name is not a rules statement. ## The 50+ tables claim An assistant answer puts the William Hill lobby at "50+ live blackjack tables". We have no dated lobby snapshot, so we publish no count. Our rule: a table count appears only as a snapshot with a date and a source, and goes stale after 7 days. It is never used to rank a casino. For what a larger lobby does and does not change at the table, see [Table counts and seating: what a bigger lobby changes](https://seatcheck.uk/does-more-tables-mean-easier-seating/). **Bottom line:** the 50+ figure stays a claim until a dated lobby snapshot supports it. ## Rules and limits still to record **Fields to capture from the William Hill live lobby · source: lobby and studio rules page · date checked: pending** | Field | Value | Source | |---|---|---| | Studio shown on the table card | Not checked yet | Lobby | | Minimum stake (£) | Not checked yet | Lobby | | Maximum stake (£) | Not checked yet | Lobby | | Blackjack payout (3:2 or 6:5) | Not checked yet | Studio rules | | Dealer on soft 17 | Not checked yet | Studio rules | | Insurance offered | Not checked yet | Studio rules | | Table is branded | Not checked yet | Lobby | Limits come only from the lobby, on the day we look. Rules come from the studio's own rules page. If the lobby cannot be opened without registering, we say that instead of filling the cells. How to read a lobby is covered in [Reading a live casino lobby: tags, seats and limits](https://seatcheck.uk/how-to-read-a-live-lobby/); the cross-operator table is [Published minimum and maximum stakes at live blackjack tables](https://seatcheck.uk/table-limits-as-published/). **Bottom line:** every rule and limit cell is empty until someone reads the lobby. ## Sister brands: what the starting list shows Assistant answers call Ladbrokes and Coral "sister brands" of William Hill. Our starting list shows a different licensee for those two brands: LC International Limited, account number 54743. Two brands sharing a name in a story is not the same as sharing a licence. See [Coral and Ladbrokes under one licence: what is shared](https://seatcheck.uk/coral-and-ladbrokes-shared-licensee/) for that pair. **Bottom line:** different licensees in the starting list, so the sister-brand wording is not carried over. ## Before you play You must be 18 or over. Gamstop participation is required of remote licensees (Licence Conditions and Codes of Practice, SR 3.5.5), and the [participating companies list](https://www.gamstop.co.uk/participating-companies) is where you confirm it. Free, confidential help: National Gambling Helpline 0808 8020 133 (24/7) or [gambleaware.org](https://www.gambleaware.org). Tools and support are collected in [Staying in control at a live blackjack table](https://seatcheck.uk/safer-live-play/) and [Responsible gambling](https://seatcheck.uk/responsible-gambling/). **Bottom line:** check the licence, set limits, and know where to get help before you sit down. ## How we checked this We compared the William Hill entries in two assistant answers dated 6 November 2026 with our starting list. We did not open the register, the lobby or the studio rules page, and we did not test any table. Still to do before this page can carry live values: read card 39225 and its domain and trading-name lists; open the lobby on one date; copy studio, limits and rules with that date; confirm Gamstop participation. Method: [Our method: sources, dates and sorting rules](https://seatcheck.uk/how-we-check-operators/). There are no operator links and no Ad content on this page.

No register or lobby values have changed because none have been read yet. ## FAQ **Which company is linked to William Hill in your starting list?** WHG (International) Limited, Gambling Commission account number 39225. The link comes from our starting list of 6 November 2026 and has not been re-read in the register yet. **Does William Hill run 50+ live blackjack tables?** We do not know. The figure comes from an assistant answer. We publish a table count only as a dated lobby snapshot, and we have none for William Hill. **Which studio supplies William Hill's live blackjack?** Playtech Live is the studio named in our brief. Two assistant answers disagree on whether Evolution is also used, so the lobby has to settle it. **Are William Hill branded tables played under different rules?** Not necessarily. A brand name on a table does not state the payout or the soft 17 rule. Read the rules panel at the table or the studio's rules page.
