review
Victor Chandler senior began his bookmaking business in 1946 and when betting shops became legal in 1963, he started to create a chain of retail betting shops in the south-east of England.
By 1975, son Victor Chandler had taken over the reigns and still runs the business today. He established a number of high profile racecourse pitches where Victor Chandler earned the reputation of being 'The Gentleman Bookmaker' for the civility in which he treated his customers and his willingness to accomodate big punters.
In the early 1990's Victor Chandler was taking football bets from the booming Asian betting market and seeing the potential in foreign markets, he opened an office in Antigua to allow his overseas customers to bet without having to pay UK betting tax.
Victor Chandler launched online in 1994 and in 1996 he obtained a betting licence in Gibraltar to where he moved his whole betting operation to become the largest employer on the island with over 350 employees.
The business has continued to expand with the growth in sports betting and the huge success of his online casino and poker sites, now Victor Chandler has offices in Macau, Kuala Lumpar and Buenos Aries with gaming websites in numerous languages.
In January 2012, the company completed the rebrand to BetVictor along with the upgrade to a more modern website.
The company has over half a million customers in more than 160 countries and BetVictor can now boast turnover of over £1 Billion.
BetVictor welcomes new customers with up to £25 Free Bet, the first bet stake will be matched, up to a maximum £25 Free Bet, when the first bet is placed on a selection at odds of at least evens (2.00) within 30 days of registering.
BetVictor continues to offer a great range of promotional offers for a number of different sports including free bet refunds, and odds bonuses and payouts on losing bets.
'Don't Hit The Bar', is one of the most popular football offers and BetVictor will refund losing stakes on football accumulators on the outright match market (home win/draw/away win) with five or more selections if you have only one losing selection on your bet.

BetVictor is generally among the first to offer odds for most sports betting markets (Early Prices for horse races are posted by 10am) and you will very rarely come across a betting market where BetVictor is not offering the best odds available on a number of the selections.
