In 1946, Victor Chandler Senior founded the sportsbook company in his own name in the United Kingdom. It has since been moved to Gibraltar in order to save their UK clients from paying the 9% UK betting tax. The company Victor Chandler International Ltd. now operates under the name BetVictor and accepts Nigerian players. BetVictor football betting markets are extremely wide ranging and are known to be some of the highest paying football odds available anywhere. You may wager on the smallest aspects and achievements in each match by players or teams beyond the typical 1×2 match results. Cricket and basketball also enjoy comprehensive coverage with many team and prop bets available for each match.
Usability
One of most important factors in deciding whether a bookie’s online presence is successful is the site’s degree of usability. The design at betvictor.com is fairly straightforward and with no frills. The darkish-blue background is quite agreeable. Overall, the site is far from being an eyesore, but in comparison to younger competitors in the sports betting industry, the design looks a bit old-fashioned. However, this is by no means a disadvantage as the design is very clear and allows for problem-free navigation through the content.
On the main page, you already find links to the three main kinds of sports at BetVictor, which are football, tennis, and golf. These also include current in-play bets as well as upcoming events. If you want to bet on events in other sports, you just have to click the ‘all sports’ button.
Once you have clicked the odds, your bet slip will automatically open in the top right corner, and you can choose from a variety of betting options including singles, doubles, Trixie etc. All you need to do then, is to enter your stake (potential returns are listed) and you can successfully place your bet.
It does not take long to find the odds that you’re looking for. For instance, it only took us 3 clicks to bet on a match in the Austrian Tipico Bundesliga.
Overall, the betting works absolutely flawlessly at BetVictor and you don’t waste any time from the moment you sign up to your first bet.
BetVictor mobile site experience
Above, you’ll see three BetVictor screens. At left, the BetVictor A-Z Sports menu. To access this, simply tap the three-line Menu button at the bottom left of your screen. Once on the Sports Menu as pictured, you may tap the three dots to expand the available league choices, for direct navigation. If you tap on the sport itself you will be taken to the given sport page, which will provide you with all the available country or league options. As you browse around the site, you will note it provides a very quick response.
You will find access to both your bet slip and cash out zone with buttons frozen to the base of your screen. Simply tap either icon to activate the given utility, and click the ‘X’ at the top right to close and toggle back to your main screen. If you wish to view all the available betting markets for a given event, simply click anywhere along the blue strip for the given event. From the given league screen, popular betting market tiles can be switched so you may see the odds for all matches. The above screen is set to ‘Match Betting’, but two other markets are available, plus, this row of markets can actually be swiped left to reveal more markets.
The Sports Selection at BetVictor
First things first, as you’d assume, football has the largest number of markets on offer. You can expect to find up to 70 markets per game in the bigger leagues or international competitions. Your options will, as you’d imagine, include all traditional bets on the outcome as well as other options such as VAR bets.
As you will find out further down the page, BetVictor is particularly strong for football when compared with its main competitors. You will find that a huge number of games are covered, with lots of live betting options to boot.
In addition to football, you can bet on all major US sports, as with almost all big-name bookies these days. You also have other major sports like cricket, tennis and rugby covered. Even if you are wanting to put a punt on a more unusual sport, you should find that you are ok, with 32 different sports covered.
Finally, you can bet on more than just sports at BetVictor online betting. Politics, special events, weather and other novelty bets are available on the site. Of course, not everything can be covered by an online bookie, so if you have a very unusual or niche punt that you want to make, your best option is to go to a high street bookmaker.
The Various Bet Types
You can choose from up to 29 different bet types at BetVictor sports. Of course, not all will be available for all markets. As well as the classic single, double, treble and accumulator bets, you can choose from the likes of Canadian, Trixie, Patent or Yankee bets. These options allow you to get creative with your gambling.
One piece of great news here is that the site offers its own bet calculator. With it you can check what the total stake will be for any special bet, toggle whether you want it to be an each way bet or not, and find out how much you would stand to win if your selections come up golden
Odds quality
They offer five odds formats. Decimal (European style), Fraction (UK style) and American (US style), but also Indo and Chinese styles. The minimum stake per single bet and for multiple bets is GBP 0.05 or currency equivalent.
In overall, BetVictor is a trusted bookie that offers good betting odds. They are fairly rated as a trusted betting site that you can use for your sports bets.
They operate with a low-profit margin on football, around 5%. This is above average by industry standards and means that you will find great returns on football.
In Play Betting
In-Play betting is the act of placing a bet after a certain event has begun. So for example, if you really wanted to place a bet on your favourite football team scoring in a specific game but you were already 10 minutes into the match, In-Play betting can allow you to still make that bet.
Live streaming leads us nicely onto the subject of In-Play betting. BetVictor supports In-Play betting whilst still giving attractive odds throughout. The detail given whilst games continue is constant and informative. For example in tennis, all sets and games are detailed so that you can track progress.
Live streaming
Live streaming is a good feature of BetVictor especially for customers who like to be constantly kept updated. Live events taking place are featured on the main homepage on the website. When you go into a live event you can see bets and odds available, and detail surrounding the event. For instance, during a football game, this could be telling you the players are warming up and when a goal is scored. If we go over to the casino side there are 4 casinos that you can join with games available such as Blackjack and Roulette. Allowing customers to interact in this way allows plenty more excitement and involvement, at times making it seem as if you are in the casino itself. It is a level of interaction which gives an improved and more enjoyable customer experience. BetVictor also supports virtual games which can be followed live and bets made.
Cash-Out feature
In comparison to the “Cash-Out” option of bet365, BetVictor feature is coming second. But it is by far better than the rest of the betting sites.
Some bets are available for Cash-Out only till kick-off. Others are available during In-Play.
BetVictor Table Games, Slots and Live Casino
BetVictor’s extensive sportsbook offering needs no introduction, so we will bring the casino games to the spotlight.

BetVictor Mobile Betting
Not only is their website fully mobile and tablet optimised, BetVictor also have iOS and Android apps available to download. Both the mobile-web version as well as the dedicated apps work like a dream, and you can do everything on your phone that you can do on your laptop or desktop.
How do I download the BetVictor app?
To download the BetVictor app, all you have to do is access the website. You’ll immediately be prompted to download the official BetVictor app. Once you download and install the app, you will be able to enjoy the same betting experience as you would on the desktop site. You get easy access to all categories with a few taps and swipes, fast deposit and cash out as well as early cashing out on a bet.
NOTE! Android users will need to download the app installer file (the .apk file) and install the app manually. If you have never done this before, you will need to go to your Android device’s settings, go to ‘Security’ and enable your phone to install apps from outside the Play Store. The reason you’ll need to do this to install the BetVictor Android App is because of rules that Google places on the Play Store surrounding apps that involve real money gambling being listed on their official app storefront.
BetVictor Sign Up Offer
Since there are so many bookmakers out there, an excellent welcome bonus is a great tool a bookmaker can use to attract new players. This is a win-win situation since the players get to enjoy the advantageous rewards, and the bookie has an excellent opportunity to prove to these punters the quality of their services.
When talking about the BetVictor new customer offer, the offer is more than generous. You get a £30 bonus bundle on your first bet of £5 or more made in the sportsbook section of BetVictor.

Summary
BetVictor are a longstanding and highly regarded member of the British sportsbook community. As such, it should come as no surprise that they offer a fantastic service.
With their superb phone app, generous sign-up offer and emphasis on streamlined bets, they are a great starting place for those who are new to online sports betting.
If any problems do arise, their customer service is excellent. When we approached their live chat with a query over a market they were courteous, quick to respond, and you knew you were talking to a real human being.
More experienced online betters might find the lack of in-depth markets a hindrance, and so it is recommended to check that your preferred markets are on offer. However, the generous welcome bonus alone makes it well worth opening an account anyway to try a more outright approach.
Overall, the site is easy to navigate and the two £10 free bets on offer for a £5 qualifying bet make BetVictor an attractive online bookmaker to explore.
