Victor Chandler

Sportsbook Rating:

Established in 1946, the Victor Chandler Group is well known for being one of the more innovative betting and gaming organisations. Victor Chandler was the first to offer tax-free betting to its clients, thanks to the daring move of relocating its account operation from London to Gibraltar. This move was so popular with bettors that many other bookmakers followed suit, and eventually the UK government abolished betting tax entirely.

Victor Chandler has a reputation for honour, integrity and class, and is commonly referred to as "the gentleman's bookmaker". Take one look at their home page and you can see that the designers have worked hard to translate those qualities to the screen, with a tasteful black banner, some smart looking tabs and a simple and elegant main template. If this Victor Chandler site was a piece of furniture, it would be a black leather armchair sitting in the private library of a Sussex country mansion.

Finding your way around the Victor Chandler site is easy, thanks to common sense menus and pages that load quickly. Generally speaking, you're only ever two or three clicks away from where you want to go, and when it comes to placing bets, the process is straightforward. Just tick the outcome you want to bet on, click the "Add To Slip" button to bring up your virtual betting slip, enter your stake and then confirm the Victor Chandler. The whole process takes longer to describe than it does to actually go through it.
