FAQs
How do I enter?
Our Tipster Competition is only available to William Hill customers, so once you've placed £5 on the Cheltenham Festival you'll qualify for entry.
How do I gain points?
Once you enter you'll have a Tipster Token for every race. Then simply select which horse you think will win. If it does, you get the same amount of points as the horse's starting price.
For example:
• If you place your Tipster Token on a 7/1 shot and it wins, you'll have earned 7 points for that race.
• If you place your Tipster Token on a 4/6 shot and it wins, you'll have earned 0.67 points for that race.
If your selection is placed, then you will receive points based on the each way terms of that race.
For Example:
• If you place your Tipster Token on a 16/1 shot and it comes 4th with place terms of ¾ 1,2,3,4, you'll have earned 4 points for that race.
• If you place your Tipster Token on a 20/1 shot and it comes 2nd with place terms of 1/5 1,2,3, you'll have earned 4 points for that race.
Top Tip. Don't be afraid to throw in a few outsiders, the higher the price, the more points you get if it wins.
The most points at the end of the day wins. It's that simple.
Top Tip. Get in there early. If you have the same amount of points as another tipster, the person who submitted their entry first wins.
What can I win?
We'll contact each day's winners at the end of the day via their William Hill Inbox Messages, and their free bets will be waiting for them the following morning at 9am.
And remember, we're giving away thousands in free bets during the festival. In fact, the overall winners of the Tipster Competition will win up to £500.

Terms and Conditions
- Entry into the Tipster Competition is free, but qualification for entry requires £5 or more in online bets with William Hill on any race in the Cheltenham Festival.
- Players have one token per race and winning tokens are returned in the same way as a normal bet, without the initial "stake token" i.e., if a token is placed on a 3/1 winner, the customer will have a total of 3 tokens.
- Prices will be determined by the starting price of the runners.
- If a selection is withdrawn, either at the declaration stage or if the selection is a non runner, then the token will be void.
- The customers with the largest number of tokens at the end of each day will be the winners for that day.
- Tipster Competition tokens have no monetary value.
- Free bets will be credited before 9am UK time the following day and winners will be informed through their William Hill Inbox Messages.
- The customers with the largest number of tokens at the end of each day of the festival will receive free bets for the following day:
- 1st Place - £100 Free Bet
- 2-10th Places - £25 Free Bet each
- 11-25th Places - £5 Free Bet each

- Customers are able to win multiple free bets on the same day. For example, a player might be the top tipster on day 3 and be 6th in the total rankings. That customer will then receive £200 in free bets: £100 for being top tipster for Thursday 17th March + £100 for being 6th place tipster over the first 3 days.
- Free bets for each individual prize will be in one sum. If players do not place the total value of the free bet token, they forfeit the balance of the free bet.
