William Hill says its punters have been wagering on table tennis because the coronavirus pandemic put paid to most traditional sporting events.

The bookie said the sport belonged to its bet9ja's welcome offer of "alternative items" for bettors throughout the lockdown.

Other chances for wagers consist of football in emerging market nations not yet as badly affected by the yohaig code infection.

Looking ahead, the company said German football and French horseracing were its finest possible earners.

Germany's Bundesliga is starting fixtures again behind closed doors this promotion code weekend, while racecourses had already resumed activities in France.

"While this promotion code is plainly a developing scenario, there are favorable signs that some sports organisations are thinking about the resumption of live sports behind closed doors as early as this promotion code summertime," William Hill said.

Revenues down

Countries where football has actually not been suspended include Belarus, which has seen its Premier League draw in a brand-new international following as a result.

The statement came as William Hill revealed a trading upgrade covering the 17 weeks to 28 April.

It said that in the period to 10 March, before coronavirus curbs began to bite, its performance was "robust", although group incomes were down 5% year-on-year.

From 11 March onwards, nevertheless, its earnings fell 57%, because of the lack of live sports material.

William Hill said its betting stores were closed in the UK and US. UK retail staff have actually been furloughed and the bookie is topping up their wages to make sure they get 100% of their wages.

Drive-thru betting

In Nevada, people who want to place bets using smart phone apps need to register face to face for the service at a wagering store before being permitted to utilize the app.

Since those centers are presently closed, William Hill has set up short-term drive-thru services at several areas in Nevada.

Would-be punters need to download the app before heading for the drive-thru. To complete the yohaig code registration process, they require to send an image of their state ID card and take a selfie with the app.
