Victor Chandler Jnr., known as “The Gentleman Bookmaker” because of his approachable nature, took over the running of the company from his father, Victor Snr., in the Seventies and since then has been responsible for the expansion of the business, mainly through its online betting platforms. The entire company moved to Gibraltar in the late Nineties to avoid betting tax in the UK and now has over 500,000 customers worldwide and turnover in excess of £1 billion. Football fans may recognise the Victor Chandler name not only because of the company’s gambling business, but also from its sponsorship of Nottingham Forest Football Club.

Horse racing naturally makes up a large proportion of Victor Chandler’s betting business and the company offers a number of promotions relating to the sport. Firstly, exclusively for horse racing bets placed on the Internet any early price or board price is guaranteed; this means that if the starting price is greater customers are paid out at the longer odds. Secondly, for existing Racing UK subscribers Victor Chandler offers a free £20 bet and a further £20 free bet if customers place 10 or more bets worth at least £5 each month. Anyone placing a bet of at least £1, or €1, on a horse race in the UK or Ireland has the opportunity to watch the race live on the Victor Chandler website. Race replays are also available, completely free of charge, with no requirement for a qualifying bet.

The Victor Chandler sports homepage provides access to a comprehensive range of sports betting opportunities, neatly organised by sport in alphabetical order. The next three horse races due off, for example, can be viewed with a single mouse click and live audio and video, where available, are equally easily accessible. For football fans, Victor Chandler is operating a World Cup microsite full of information on the teams, stadia and, of course, all the latest odds on the outright market, group betting, etc. for South Africa; a free £125 bet on the World Cup is available to new customers. Online help is available on all common website issues and if further assistance is needed customer service is provided via telephone, email or live online chat.

For new customers, Victor Chandler offers a free £50 bet to anyone staking £50 or more at even money or above, or to match the first bet of anyone staking less than £50. Subsequently, anyone placing a further five consecutive bets of £10 or more within 30 days of opening an account receives another free bet worth £25 and if they place another five they receive another £25 free bet and a £25 bonus for Victor Chandler Casino. The VC Casino offers everything from traditional table games such as blackjack and roulette to classic or video slots and many others. Anyone signing up also receives a £100 welcome bonus and has the opportunity to accumulate up to £3,000 per week in loyalty bonuses. Similarly, anyone interested in financial spread betting will find themselves amply catered for, with a complete section of the website devoted to this activity.
