William Hill is a United Kingdom based gambling operator that offers its services in UK cities such as London and Birmingham and in other cities around the world. William Hill is also a licensed operator that operates within the law and regulations of the Spanish gambling authorities.

Representing William Hill, Miguel Valdés has addressed the Spanish authorities and asked them to take legal actions versus the internet casino websites that offer their gambling services in the Spanish market illegally and without a license. He added that the authorities have previously addressed these illegal operators but many of them have refused to leave and they are still offering their services in Spain.

He pointed out that these illegal operators harm the legal operators who abide by the regulations and pay their taxes and the consumers. This is because the legal operators pay taxes while these illegal operators do not. Not only that as these illegal operators harm the revenues of the legal ones such as William Hill.

He said that William Hill understands the difficulty of fighting these operators since most, if not all, of the illegal operators offer their services from offshore locations. He also stated that he believes that a very effective way to fight these illegal offshore operators is for Spain to legalize slot machines. This is because online slot machines that are played with real money are not regulated in Spain which pushes a lot of online gamblers to go to the unlicensed operators to enjoy slot machines.
