Betvictor Ltd which was earlier known as the Victor Chandler International Limited is an autonomous bookmaker. Having at first been specializing in online sports events betting, the corporation currently incorporates the internet casino. The corporation was originally found out and appointed after its former president, Victor Chandler, before a rebrand to BetVictor. The corporation is now owned by businessman and racehorse owner Michael Tabor, with operational headquarters in Gibraltar.

The History Behind BetVictor Betting

The company was established by William Chandler who maintained Walthamstow Stadium, which he inaugurated in 1931. After the demise of William Chandler in 1946, the business was handed over to his five kids with Charles and Percy managing Walthamstow Stadium at the same time as the bookmaking company passed to Victor Sr. and Jack. The remaining son Ronnie trained greyhounds. Victor Sr. died suddenly in 1974 and therefore the business was omitted to Victor Jr., who at the time was working within the hotel industry in Spain. In 1998, it took the remarkable step of taking his whole business offshore to avoid UK gambling tax, relocating the corporate office to Gibraltar. It has been claimed this was a reason for Gordon Brown abolishing gambling income tax in his 2001 budget.

In 2004 the business changed its name to 'VCBet' for branding motivations, although during the late 2008 Chandler himself decided to revert the designation to 'Victor Chandler'. In 2012, the corporation renamed itself again as BetVictor. The corporation is in addition a member of the Gibraltar Gambling and betting Association. In May 2014 businessman and major shareholder of Victor Chandler International, Michael Tabor took over the corporation. The corporation now claims to show over more than £1 billion and have over a half 1,000,000 customers in additional than 160 different countries.

BetVictor has supported several sports events over the years, most, in particular, the grade 1 specified in the list Victor Chandler Chase at Ascot Racecourse. In 2013 BetVictor went on to become the sponsor for the Welsh Open pool table and therefore the World Matchplay darts, both of which have continued into 2014, with the supplement of the queen dowager Champion Chase at the Cheltenham Festival. With £250,000 towards the tournament's first winner, Harry Demetriou then £200,000 won during the second year by Tony Bloom, the competition has been attracting documented experts from everywhere on the planet.
