About William Hill
===================
William Hill PLC is one of the world's leading betting and
gaming companies, employing c15,500 people. Its origins are in the
UK where it was founded in 1934, and where it is listed on the
London Stock Exchange. The majority of its GBP1.6 billion annual
revenues are still derived from the UK, where it has a national
presence of licensed betting offices and one of the leading online
betting and gaming services. In 2012, it established William Hill
US with a focus on retail and mobile operations in Nevada, the
largest sports betting business in the US. Following the ruling in
May 2018 by the US Supreme Court that the federal ban on state
sponsored sports betting was unconstitutional, William Hill US has
expanded into new states as they regulate sports betting. It is now
operating in seven states: Nevada, New Jersey, Delaware, Rhode
Island, Mississippi, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. William Hill's
Online business acquired Mr Green & Co AB in January 2019,
growing its international operations. William Hill PLC is listed on
the London Stock Exchange and is a member of both the FTSE 250 and
