BetVictor Gambling Website Review

Let’s start with a bit of history.

The Sportsbook BetViсtor was founded in 1931 by William Chandler. In 1946, the business passed to William Chandler’s five sons, along with Walthamstow Stadium, where horse racing and dog racing were held. During the management of the sons and grandsons of the founder, the company experienced ups and downs, was close to bankruptcy, but in the ’90s, the business recovered thanks to the grandson of the founder. Victor Chandler Jr. began to accept bets from rich Asian clients and obtained the UK Gambling Commission license which made the company’s operations fully legitimate.

Pros and Cons

The new business approach was based on creating a comfortable environment for VIP clients. To have larger opportunities, expand the business, and get more financial stability, Victor Chandler moved the company to an offshore zone in Gibraltar, which became an example for other bookmakers. Gradually, Victor Chandler began selling land-based betting points to focus on online business in offshore zones. He renamed the brand to Victor Chandler, and then change it to BetVictor.

In 2014, Victor Chandler junior sold the company to Michael Tabor, a wealthy breeder of elite racehorses and owner of several racetracks, while remaining in the company as a consultant and non-Executive Director. BetVictor traditionally sponsors leading horse racing tournaments and also hosts poker tournaments featuring celebrities such as Michael Owen, Teddy Sheringham, Tony Bloom, and Michael Greco. Owen was an Ambassador for BetVictor for three years and in 2017, the company became the official betting partner of Liverpool.

To review BetVictor, or any other sportsbook, we need to make sure the company is legit. As we already mentioned, Betvictor is licensed in the United Kingdom by the UK Gambling Commission. BetVictor also has licenses from Ireland and from Gibraltar that allows it to accept players from different countries.

According to BetVictor, it currently has about 500,000 customers from 160 countries.

These facts certainly inspire trust, although the brand might lose in some terms to a number of its sports betting competitors.

Home page

The fact that the company is recognized by the UK Gambling Commission gives reason to consider this service legal, at least in the UK. Besides, BetVictor is focused on clients from Western Europe such as the Czech Republic, Denmark as well as Asian countries, where it is quite well known.

The site has a minimalistic and yet modern design and shows quick and flawless performance. To start making bets, you need to register first; the registration process is swift and easy. The website’s overall layout is not much different from the other bookmakers: you can find quick links to the top popular events, search for particular sports and markets, and quickly add bets to the bet slip.

By default, lines contain odds in the British format. You can change it to Decimal or American formats. A quick look at the site proves it is mainly focused on the British betting pool and British sports, but it is also possible to bet on some American and internationally popular disciplines. The site is translated into English and German.

Virtual sports section

• Virtual Sports;
• Casino;
• Poker.

Registration on the BetVictor sportsbook website is blocked for residents of many countries, including Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Italy, Spain, France, and more. BetVictor mainly focuses on British and Asian betting markets but does not show much interest in other locations. If you are allowed to register, you must enter your personal information, address, and preferred currency from a pretty extensive list including Euro, USD, and British pounds.

BetVictor is a betting company focused on popular sports and entertainment in Britain, including Horse racing and Dog racing that is also popular in Asia: Singapore, Taiwan, and the Philippines. Other sports games in the line include:

• American Football;
• Cricket;
• Boxing;
• Basketball;
• Darts;
• Rugby;
• Martial Arts;
• Futsal;
• Soccer;
• Netball;
• Tennis;
• eSports;
• Motor Racing;
• Ice Hockey, and more.

You will not find much in terms of exotic sports or markets, though: BetVictor is not superior in terms of the coverage even when it comes to top Soccer matchups. For instance, an English Premier League game may involve no more than a hundred betting options, while you can find thousands of them within a single match at other sportsbooks. The odds are not sky-high for most sports; still, you can find very attractive Soccer markets with margins of 3%-4% which is one of the most competitive offers among British bookmakers.

Sportsbook Line

The line for live bets is pretty extensive and involves around 20 disciplines available for in-play betting daily. For example, in addition to popular sports in the line of offers, you can find less popular live bets on such sports as:

• Badminton;
• Golf;
• Snooker;
• Cricket;
• Rugby;
• Ice Hockey.

The margin for popular markets in the live section varies between 6% and 8%.

There is no live streaming service, though. Instead, Betvictor sportsbook offers a graphical match tracker that shows the status and progress of current games, as well as live text broadcasts. Some games, though, do not have any broadcasting tools, but overall the BetVictor live section is pretty decent. Odds are updated quickly and the bets are accepted within a couple of seconds from desktop and mobile versions of the site.

One of the helpful features BetVictor offers for live betting is Cash Out. Cash Out allows a bettor to withdraw funds without waiting for the end of a sporting event.

For example, you have already placed a bet on the victory of your favorite team, but a few hours before the match, it became known that several of the best players will not play at once. With a small commission from the BetVictor bookmaker, you can cancel your bet and get your money back. The most popular option for withdrawing funds in advance is online betting. The player sees that his bet may not play, and does not want to take risks, in this case, Cash Out will help save time and nerves.

A professional sports bettor gets special BetVictor tools: for instance, there is information on various teams’ tactics.

It’s not always possible to be at the computer at the right time so it was pleasant to find out that BetVictor took care of developing a high-quality mobile version and a native app. Both work without errors and bugs and are widely used by the majority of BetVictor customers. Their mobile solutions are considered one of the best in the sports betting industry.

To visit the simplified mobile version of the site, you need to type BetVictor. mobi in your mobile browser. The site is optimized for all modern smartphones and tablets, and also works correctly on simple java phones.

The Betvictor mobile app is developed for the popular Android and iOS operating systems. According to many reviews, the app is easy to use.

It works the same way as the Betvictor main website and offers the same selection of sports betting options,  table games, casino card games, and other activities.

If a bookmaker offers mediocre odds, it usually tries to compensate for it with a bonus system and various promotions. BetVictor is not an exception: the Promotions section here is always full of offers. However, they traditionally work exclusively for British punters and for customers from some regions of Asia and Northern Europe.

One of the most popular offers is a Sports Welcome Bonus. BetVictor offers new users to participate in the “Bet £5, Get £30 on free bets” welcome offer. What does it mean? If a player makes the first bet of £5 or more at odds 2.0, they get a £20 football free bet and €10 on the casino.

Welcome Bonus Besides, customers can opt for the other promotions as follows:

• Instant Win Bonus;
• Casino Free Spins;
• Cashback Bonus for Sports betting;
• Loyalty Program.

The terms and conditions of every bonus may change, so if you are interested to claim any, make sure you are aware of all nuances and wagering requirements.

The betting limits are pretty average and will be suitable for recreational players. The minimum bet is $0.09 (£0.05, or €0.06).

Maximum bet amount may vary depending on an event and a particular market.

Maximum winnings can not exceed £500,000; regular winning high-rollers risk having their accounts blocked with no deposit refund.

The list of Betvictor deposit methods is pretty wide. You can add funds to your gaming account using the following banking options:

• Bank cards (VISA, MasterCard, Maestro);
• Electronic payment systems (Skrill, NETELLER, PayPal);
• Paysafecard;
• Bank Transfer.

The minimum deposit amount is $5, and the maximum amount depends on the selected method. Most options allow you to top up your account instantly, but Bank transfer payment can be received within 3-5 business days. All deposits are free of charge.

You can withdraw money from the Betvictor gaming account the same way:

• Bank cards (VISA, MasterCard, Maestro);
• Electronic payment systems (Skrill, NETELLER, PayPal);
• Paysafecard;
• Bank Transfer.

The minimum withdrawal amount is $10 (or currency equivalent), and the maximum withdrawal can not exceed $50, 000. Payment processing time is 1-3 business days. However, it may take 1-6 days to transfer money to cards, and 3-10 days to a bank account. Although BetVictor does not charge any withdrawal fees, it does not cover the ones charged by banking systems either, so check commissions added to your payout before you request a withdrawal.

If you can’t find suitable answers in the Help Center, you can check your questions with the 24-hour Betvictor customer support service:

• live chat;
• e-mail: help BetVictor com;
• via the feedback form, where you can specify the problem and personal phone number by which at the optimal time for the customer a representative of the customer service will call and advise on the abandoned issue.

We can not fully review BetVictor without describing its online casino: it features all top popular casino games including live dealer options.

 BetVictor uses Evolution gaming software for their live dealer rooms.

Overall, the choice of slots and table games is pretty generous; besides top popular titles like StarBurst by Netent, or Megaways slots, you can find exclusive games released under the BetVictor’s brand.

Online casino

We didn’t find any shortcomings in the betting process itself. However, we find it disappointing that BetVictor does not seem to be flexible when any disputes arise.

For example, if an account is closed at the company’s initiative and there is no refund or payment of funds, the client may not always be able to protect their interests.

It is perfect for British sports fans as there might be good odds for Horse Racing and Soccer.

A company with such a long history is can be trusted: BetVictor’s reputation is solid enough so that we could recommend it to bettors. Still, it is not a universal place for everyone: facing the British and Asian markets, BetVictor is not superior in terms of in-depth coverage of many sports and has little to offer to professional gamblers worldwide.
