Victor Chandler Bookmaker was formed in 1946 and is a major landbased bookmaker in the United Kingdom and Ireland with hundreds of high street outlets. In 1999, the Victor Chandler Group took the gamble to move its entire account operation from London to Gibraltar and almost overnight introduced tax-free betting for its ever-widening circle of international clients. The gamble paid off and shifted the British Government's stance on betting tax and is widely recognised as paving the way for tax-free betting in the UK. Victor Chandler now has customers in over 70 countries across the world. Excellent track record and even though it has moved its headquarters from London to Gibraltar, Victor Chandler still retains our highest integrity rating.

Excellent customer support available 24/7 via freephone telephone. Wide range of US, UK and European sporting events. Some interesting exotic bets but we are unsure how much interest there is in the "Will the Italian Government ban Interent gambling sites" wager. Well, if you can't pick a winning team or a horse, perhaps better luck on the Italian Government??? Good coverage of US horse racing tracks and NFL. Otherwise, the main focus is on the UK and European markets.

Victor Chandler currently offer a £10 cash bonus for first time depositors. Only restriction is that you need to turn over £50 on VC Games within 30 days of opening your new VC Bet/VC Games account in order to qualify for the offer.

Victor Chandler Bookmaker covers a wide range of markets - all the mainstream sports and some strange exotic bets such as if the Italian Government will block betting sites. Victor Chandler currently offer betting opportunities on the following sports and events:

Extensive coverage of UK and European markets but also decent coverage of US sports. Several race US race tracks covered as well as all the main UK and South African race tracks. Please note that more markets may be available as and when various major events come up.

Nowhere else offers you as many different in-run markets as Victor Chandler live - such as which team will score next, who will get the next throw and even whether a goal will be scored from a penalty or not.
