BetVictor Review

Preface

Active as a betting brand since 1946, BetVictor emerged out of the old Victor Chandler site in 2011 and is now one of the largest operators in the UK. As well as being fully licensed by the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC), this platform has some interesting features designed to make betting a bit easier for novices. Add to these innovations a long history of providing competitive odds and it’s easy to see why BetVictor is hugely popular with punters across the country.

Product Focus

If simplicity floats your boat, BetVictor’s interface is perfect. In a bid to make its products as accessible and easy-to-use as possible, the development team has used a minimalist design. In other words, the main body of the page is fairly lean and not filled with too many unnecessary features.

On top of this, symbols are used to denote things such as when in-play bets are available, statistics and, of course, each sport has its own relevant icon. Finally, as with all the leading online betting sites, BetVictor uses a three-section structure. Put simply, you’ll move from left to right across the page, i.e. sports menu (left panel), odds (central panel) and betting slip (right panel).

Beyond the site itself, BetVictor is big on personalisation. Thanks to the #PriceItUp section of the site, you can build your own bets and receive a custom price. What’s nice about this feature is that everything is a one-touch affair.

After selecting the build option, you’ll be presented with a menu of potential outcomes for that day’s/week’s biggest events. From here you can simply click the ones you like the look of and they’ll be added to your slip. Eventually, once you’ve built the perfect scenario, BetVictor will give you a price and allow you to place a bet.

Available Products

BetVictor is big on football and horse racing. The site ran a £1 million promotion which allowed someone to win a seven-figure sum by placing the longest odds wager and winning. In addition to seasonal offers, the site has pre-match and in-play markets for the top leagues in England, Europe and the rest of the world.

When it comes to horse racing, this site does two things well. Firstly, it offers competitive odds for all races in the UK and Ireland. Secondly, it provides a wealth of statistics. While other sites do offer data, few organise it as well as BetVictor. Using the Betfinder tool, punters can use one-touch buttons to find a suitable horse.

For example, if you like to bet on horses showing good form with long odds, you can hit these following buttons: ‘has won at today’s course’, ‘long odds’ and ‘jockey in form’. After inputting these variables, the software will highlight the most suitable horses from the day’s list of races.

Beyond the impressive focus on football and racing, BetVictor offers strong odds on dozens of different sports, including: basketball, tennis, darts, golf, Gaelic football, ice hockey and more. Between these options, some easy-to-use software and a host of unique customisation features, this site is great for punters that want an edge.
