OTHER BETS AT VICTOR CHANDLER
BetVictor offers good in-running betting opportunities plus a good range of fun (and potentially profitable) special betting propositions.
The BetVictor web site is easy to use. No particularly outstanding features although there is a useful tool to help you to decide which banking option is best for you based on your geographical region & legal jurisdiction. It's easy to find & place bets or to participate in live betting.
As well as the traditional sports like horseracing, greyhounds, golf & football, BetVictor offers a fairly wide range of bets tailored to specific markets. Fancy a punt on Scandanavian Bandy?
All new customers who bet £25, get £25 free. (Or currency equivalent) It's easy - just open an account with BetVictor and make a deposit (using any of the payment options). Then place a bet of up to £25 (at odds of evens or better) and they'll match the value of your initial stake to a maximum of £25. Free money, no hassle. Victor Chandler also regularly offers good Cash Back specials. They're generally only on on First Scorer Football (Soccer) bets & Late Goal insurance. Other offers include a 10% bonus on NFL parlays... and refunds on losing 5-fold bets with only one loser on any Baseball. A Golf hole in one cash back also applies.
