When it comes to the online gaming industry, many brands that have become iconic. Ladbrokes, William Hill, Bodog, and Coral are names we have all heard (even those of you who haven’t been working in the industry for the last 20 years).

However, only one person’s name has become synonymous with online gaming over the last two decades: Victor Chandler.

One of the pioneers of the gambling world, the Victor Chandler brand moved online in the early 2000s. Even though the name has changed to BetVictor, the company remains focused on being one of the world’s leaders in online gambling.

I am going to give you an honest review of the BetVictor site to see if the site lives up to the hype of the name.

About BetVictor

Victor Chandler started out in the land-based betting business way back in the 1940s, and over the years has expanded that empire to include several brands, as well as taking the company online. The BetVictor site has been in operation since 2000 when it was known as Victor Chandler. The site is owned and operated by BetVictor Ltd, a company with offices in the tax-friendly UK state of Gibraltar.

BetVictor has gaming licenses from the UK Gambling Commission, as well as from the Gibraltar Gaming Authority. Having these licenses ensures that the company can take players from the UK, their largest market, legally. For players, this means an added layer of security when it comes to your deposits; the site is under constant watch by these authorities and has to keep player deposits separated from the operating capital of the company.

Who Can Play at BetVictor?

Despite having one of the best-known owners in the history of the online gaming industry, global dominance is difficult for BetVictor. Their licenses prohibit them from taking players from a multitude of countries. Even though the gambling regulations are constantly changing around the world, the site needs to maintain a strong stance on this not to risk losing their all-important licenses.

Here is the list of restricted countries at BetVictor:

  • Algeria
  • Antigua and Barbuda
  • Armenia
  • Australia
  • Bangladesh
  • Barbados
  • Belgium
  • Bulgaria
  • Cameroon
  • Croatia
  • Cuba
  • Czech Republic
  • Denmark
  • Estonia
  • Fiji
  • France
  • French Guiana
  • Hong Kong

  • Spain
  • Taiwan
  • Tonga
  • Turkey
  • United States

Software Suppliers

When you are one of the largest and most well-known land-based gaming brands, you want to make a splash when you enter the online market. BetVictor has done just that with their online casino; they have partnered with a large number of providers to bring you the best casino I have seen in a long while. Some players may not be able to see all the games due to restrictions put on BetVictor by their software providers, but if you are able to see them all, then you will find content from the following companies:

  • Net Entertainment
  • OpenBet
  • Evolution Gaming
  • Microgaming
  • IGT
  • Amaya Software,
  • Novomatic
  • Big Time Gaming
  • Realistic Games
  • Play’n GO
  • Quickspin
  • NextGen
  • Blueprint Gaming
  • Aristocrat
  • Leander Games
  • Ash Gaming
  • CORE Gaming
  • Extreme Live Gaming

The games at BetVictor are available via instant play, meaning you can log in and play from whatever computer you are on through the browser. Also, many of these games have been formatted for instant play on your mobile device. For those of you living in jurisdictions where online gambling is legal, you will also find a native app built for the sportsbook and casino products in the app store.

The Good Stuff

Progressive Jackpots

I always like to mention what progressives you are going to find at a casino (can you imagine there are still some casinos that don’t offer them?), and at BetVictor, you are in luck. There are several massive jackpots available to be won, and the casino puts them all in their own tab in the casino lobby, so you don’t have to hunt for them. Below are the jackpot games available. Check them out to see if you recognize any of the titles:Green Thumbs Up

  • Hall of Gods
  • Mega Fortune
  • Mega Moolah
  • MegaJackpots Star Lanterns
  • Power Force Villains
  • Genie Jackpots
  • Power Force Heroes
  • Wish Upon a Jackpot
  • MegaJackpots Cleopatra
  • Super Diamond Deluxe
  • Chilli Gold 2 Stellar Jackpots

Combined Platform

You can’t go wrong with a company that has built their reputation for over 70 years; the company was only a sportsbook for decades, so having that knowledge and expertise available online is a bonus for players at the BetVictor site. You will be able to have a bet on your favorite team as well as play hours of blackjack from the same account, meaning one less deposit you have to make. Combining different products under one umbrella is a way an operator can keep their players loyal. Why give you a reason to have to visit another site?

The Bad Stuff

No Esports Betting Options

This is a disturbing trend I have noticed with UK-facing sportsbooks. The esports world is blowing up, with more and more events popping up around the world. With millions of dollars on the line in each event, these are becoming heavily contested and provide a great opportunity for sportsbooks to promote gambling on each event to a younger clientele.

Many books have esports betting options, and I hope that BetVictor soon follows suit. Red Thumbs Down

Sportsbook

Despite not offering any esports matches to wager on currently, the BetVictor sportsbook is one of the best I have seen in a long time. Operating on a platform they built in-house, the site gives you the chance to bet on a wide array of sports taking place around the world. Have a look at the sports available on the homepage of the sportsbook:

  • American Football
  • Australian Rules
  • Badminton
  • Baseball
  • Basketball
  • Boxing
  • Cricket
  • Cycling – Road
  • Darts
  • Entertainment
  • Football
  • Formula 1
  • Golf
  • Greyhounds
  • Handball
  • Horse Racing
  • Ice Hockey
  • MMA/UFC
  • Motorcycling
  • Politics
  • Rugby League
  • Rugby Union
  • Snooker
  • Table Tennis
  • Tennis
  • Virtual Sports
  • Volleyball

A couple of items of note here: first off, you can bet on many entertainment props, which are mainly focused on awards shows around the world. Also, if you don’t want to wait for actual sporting events to end, you can choose to make a bet on a virtual sport. These games, which are computer generated, take approximately 5 minutes to complete, showing you highlights in the streaming screen. You can still bet on your favorite teams, but since the action is computer-generated, you will be able to bet more often. Virtual soccer, horse racing, and tennis have become increasingly popular as betting options in the last few years.

Casino Game Selection

With all the software companies providing their content to BetVictor, it is not shocking to find out that you have access to over 1,000 games when you log into their casino. Seeing so many top software vendors in the list above means the quality of your experience is going to be top-notch. Let’s break down the different categories of games available in the casino lobby.

Slot Machines

BetVictor Table Game Options

Of the over 1,000 games available at BetVictor, the majority (over 800) are slot games.

Table Games

BetVictor Slot Game Options

This is the area of the site where you will notice the difference depending on where you live. I have seen the site from different countries and have noticed some of the table games not showing up depending on where I log in from. Having said that, there are a ton of great options for you at BetVictor; personally, I got to playing 3 Wheel Roulette for a long period, as the excitement of that game was awesome!

I am shocked that some table games staples like Pai Gow Poker are not available, but that shouldn’t stop you from trying out all these games:

  • Realistic Blackjack
  • European Roulette
  • 10p Roulette French
  • Standard Roulette
  • 10p Roulette
  • Roulette £1 Min
  • Premier Roulette
  • Pinball Roulette
  • 10p Blackjack
  • Blackjack £1 – £40
  • Perfect Pairs and 21+3
  • 3 Card Poker
  • Roulette French £1 Min
  • VIP Roulette
  • Single Deck Blackjack
  • Texas Hold’em Bonus
  • Euro Roulette
  • Live Blackjack
  • Blackjack £50 – £7,500

  • Craps
  • VIP Roulette French
  • Double Exposure Blackjack
  • Baccarat
  • Pontoon £1 – £100
  • Casino War
  • Punto Banco £100 Min
  • Red Dog

Live Dealer Games

For their live dealer offering, BetVictor uses both Evolution Gaming and Extreme Live Gaming as their software partners. Both companies offer excellent live games, and having two different studios available for players gives you the option of choosing between properties as well as what dealer you want for your game.

Live dealer games are not available for all casino games as of yet, but they continue to be developed. For now, here are your options for these games at BetVictor:

  • Baccarat
  • Roulette
  • Casino Hold’Em
  • Blackjack
  • Super 6
  • Caribbean Stud Poker

Video Poker

I have reviewed many casinos that started as UK sportsbooks, and this is the area of the casino where many of them stumble. For some reason, these operators don’t realize how popular the game is (maybe it is just more popular in North America), but at least BetVictor offers a decent range of games and pay tables. Check out the options you have in the video poker tab of the casino lobby:

  • Jackpot Poker
  • Play 4 Jacks or Better
  • Jacks or Better
  • Jacks or Better 1 Hand
  • Joker Poker
  • Jacks or Better Multihand
  • Deuces Wild 1 Hand
  • Joker Wild 1 Hand
  • Ultimate X 5 Play Draw Poker
  • All American 1 Hand
  • Challenge Poker
  • Triple Play Draw Poker
  • 10 Play Draw Poker
  • 5 Play Draw Poker
  • All American Multihand
  • Deuces Wild Multihand
  • Joker Wild Multihand
  • Ultimate X 10 Play Draw Poker
  • Ultimate X Triple Play Draw

Specialty Games

At BetVictor, they call these games “instant win” games. Basically, this is an area of the casino reserved for games like scratch cards and keno that are jackpot-style games which require no effort to play. For the most part, I recommend players stay away from these games, as the odds are spectacularly against you. However, I recognize that many of my readers like these games, so here is what you can play at BetVictor:

  • Diamonds and Rubies
  • Pot Luck
  • Sunken Treasure
  • Snakes & Ladders
  • Sunset Reels
  • Shore Thing
  • Wild Safari
  • Real Dogs Bet
  • Real Horses Bet
  • Epic Gems
  • Red Card
  • Boss the Lotto
  • The Link
  • Diamond Deal
  • Spinlotto
  • Gears of Fortune
  • Golden Bonanza Keno
  • Doctor Love Scratchcard
  • Pandamania Scratchcard
  • Irish Eyes 2 Scratchard
  • Volcano Eruption scratchcard
  • Doctor Love on Vacation Scratchcard
  • Ramesses Riches Scratchcard
  • Irish Eyes Scratchcard
  • Emperors Garden Scratchcard
  • The Codfather Scratchard
  • Medusa Scratchcard
  • Foxin Wins Scratchcard
  • Big Foot Scratchcard
  • Merlins Millions Scratchcard
  • Final Score
  • Call of the Colosseum Scratchcard
  • Oil Mania Scratchcard

Promotions

The offers page of the BetVictor website displays all the available bonuses you can take advantage of, as well as an explanation of all the possibilities in front of you depending on what game you want to play. Let’s focus on a couple of excellent promotions I found:

Welcome Bonus

There are two types of welcome bonuses at BetVictor. The first is more of a sports betting promotion, encouraging you to make an initial wager. Here are the details of that promotion:

Register your free account with BetVictor, opt-in, and place your first bet of £10 or more, and as a new customer, you will be credited with:

  • £10 Sports Free Bet
  • £10 Sports Free Bet to use on In-Play events
  • £10 Sports Free Bet to use on 5 folds (and greater)
  • £10 in Casino Bonus Funds

How to claim your bonus

  • Step 1 Register your free account and opt in to this offer
  • Step 2 With your first bet, place a bet of £10 or more with odds of Evens (2.00) or greater
  • Step 3 Receive £10 in Sports Free Bets, £10 for In-Play, £10 for Accas and £10 Casino Bonus

This is an excellent way to get the ball rolling. While the initial bet has to be more of a long shot bet, you get up to 4 times the value afterward.

The second welcome bonus is more of a standard casino match bonus. This welcome bonus isn’t the largest I have seen in the industry, but it is one of the most generous when it comes to actually converting bonus dollars into cash. Here are the details:

Up to £/€100 in casino bonus funds, matching your first deposit after you opt in, which:

  • can be used on any of our games on our Casino except for Baccarat (all versions) and the Blood Suckers slot;
  • are subject to wagering requirements (see Wagering Requirements below); and
  • will expire after 7 days if not used or wagered.

100 Free spins on our Starburst slot which:

  • will be credited the day after you receive your deposit match bonus;
  • can only be used on our Starburst slot;
  • are subject to wagering requirements (see Wagering Requirements below); and
  • will expire after 5 days if not used or wagered.

What I really like about this bonus is that it isn’t maxing out at some huge number players aren’t likely going to deposit, and it’s also providing a wagering requirement (35x the bonus amount only) that is very competitive compared to other sites in the market.

Win tickets to a Liverpool FC match

This promotion is a no-brainer for the site; they are a sponsor of the team, after all. However, this promotion is extra juicy because the game they are giving away tickets for is against none other than the wildly popular Manchester United. To qualify for the draw, all you have to do is make a wager on the game, and you will be entered into the draw. If you are one of the 5 lucky winners, you will be awarded two tickets to the game, along with local transportation to and from the stadium and food and refreshments.

I love these kinds of promotions; the prize doesn’t cost the site anything at all, and players who win get an incredible amount of value out of the experience.

Banking

BetVictor offers the standard options for making your deposits and withdrawals, from credit cards to e-wallet solutions. There does not seem to be any issue with payment delays (segregated player funds helps this process), so when you are ready to withdraw, you should have your money in a matter of hours or days depending on the method selected.

Deposit Options

  • Laser
  • Maestro
  • MasterCard
  • Neteller
  • PayPal
  • Paysafecard
  • Switch
  • Telegraphic Transfer
  • Ukash
  • Visa Delta
  • Visa Electron
  • Visa
  • Western Union
  • Entropay
  • Skrill

Withdrawal Options

  • Neteller
  • Telegraphic Transfer
  • Ukash
  • Visa Delta
  • Visa Electron
  • Visa
  • Skrill

Comp Program

I have not seen any information about the comp program at BetVictor on their site. Other sites claim that they have this program, in which you earn points by playing real money games, and then you can convert these points to cash. Personally, until I see that information on the BetVictor website, I am skeptical that it actually exists.

VIP Program

There is a VIP program at BetVictor, but it is on the sportsbook side of the business. The company boasts that VIP players will be treated like royalty, with exclusive offers and invitations to events. The VIP program is by invitation only, so expect to get a call if you are a heavy gambler on the site.

Customer Service

BetVictor built its reputation on offering great games along with unparalleled customer service. As we all know, having an issue with an online gaming site can seem like a huge headache, especially when you are hundreds of miles or further away from the company. The site gives you multiple options to contact them. The easiest is to click on the live help link at the bottom of each web page. When I tested it, the agent responded in a matter of seconds, which is an excellent wait time.

You can also contact the casino via phone or email, or you can take advantage of their extensive help center, which houses the answers to many of the most common questions the casino receives.

Would I Play at BetVictor?

There is no doubt that I would recommend BetVictor to my readers. The company comes with over 70 years of experience and reputation, and their casino features over 1,000 games. They have an extensive sportsbook offering (even without esports), and the promotions they are running are very fair with regards to the ability to earn the bonus dollars. While I would like to see more effort put into a comp program and a casino VIP program, that is minor in the grand scheme of things. If you are able to access the site for real money, you should give them a try. Who knows? You could find yourself watching a Liverpool FC match live soon!
