Victor Chandler is the famous character that fronts the firm bearing his name. Unlike the late Mr William Hill, Victor is very much alive and well, and indeed likes to puff on large cigars!
As of January 2012 Victor Chandler went through a re-branding of the UK business to coincide with the European brand, they now go by BetVictor.
The BetVictor sportsbook has been one of the revelations of the internet age. The “Gentleman’s Bookmaker” was a well known on-course rails bookmaker throughout the on-course market 1980’s heyday. Chandler had a reputation for building relationships with high rolling punters (is that you?) and laying chunky bets.
The historical route to the current Sportsbook is that Victor became the first bookmaker to set up an operation in the tax haven of Gibraltar, and used the tax benefits to offer a superb value offering to UK based customers.

Enough of the history lesson let me review the site! Starting off with the sign up bonus, at the time of review Sportsbook Guardian users can get a free £25 bet when making a deposit of the same amount – juicy!
The site is straightforward in appearance, lacking the distractions that some other sports betting sites have. The various sports are presented in a simple blue and grey colour scheme, with the front page offering a helpful coupon with the upcoming main events. At the time of the review this was soccer, tennis and horse racing.
Like most major players in online betting the sports site is dovetailed in with casino, poker, games, slots and other betting sites under the company umbrella. The range of payments supported is better than average, and a diverse amount of ePayment solutions complemented the standard credit/debit options. Customer service was efficient, multilingual, and contactable by telephone, email and live chat.
What really impresses me about BetVictor is the firm’s clear commitment to racing fans. For a bet of £1 you are entitled to watch the horse race on a smart live streaming web video. Racing fans get superb value, the premium offer being best priced guaranteed. At the time of this review being written BetVictor will guarantee to pay out at starting price if it is larger than the price you took. Essentially punters have never had it so good!
Asides from racing, the site offers a comprehensive range of other sports, spearheaded by football, within which the firm are a leading player in the niche and lucrative Asian-Hcap market.
Football punters receive great value, with major leagues priced as generously as 105% for traditional match odds. Around 50 supporting markets complement the main “1X2” headliner odds selection.
At the time of review Sportsbook Guardian have got you a sign up bonus with a free bet of £25 (matched), so check out Victor Chandler and bet with the gentleman’s bookmaker!
