BetVictor Review

BetVictor are one of the biggest names in the gambling industry. The company have a rich history in sports betting, opening their doors on the high street in 1946 and since then have gone to dominate the online sector as well.

The bookmaker is probably best known for its competitive pricing structure. They have won several industry recognised awards for consistently being best price with sports such as football and horse racing.

The BetVictor Website

As soon as you land on the BetVictor site you will be able to tell that they have an air of professionalism about them. The design is completely unique and we must admit, it’s one of the best looking sportsbooks in the industry right now.

Whilst this is something that you would expect from a company this, in years gone by they have been criticised for their lack of design innovation. So, seeing the site as it is now highlights how forward thinking  and willing to improve they are.

They’re able to feature on all mobile devices, including both Android and iOS. The design of the app follows trend of the website and again, is one of the best that we have tested. The ability to log in using touch ID is probably our favourite feature and one we wish more bookmakers would include.

Betting Markets

The betting markets on offer are pretty awesome. If you are looking to bet on either football or horse racing then there are very few that are able to get near them. These two sports make up a huge range of the markets that are on offer and whilst other sports are obviously listed, it’s here where you are going to find the main bulk of the bets.

The football section is worth particular mention as it’s able to include a huge range of special markets to bet on. They include features such as Acca Builder, bet boosts, enhanced odds, a plethora of betting markets (often well in excess of 100 pre-match bets) and a mountain of leagues to choose from around the world.

The horse racing section follows a similar trend and you wont be left wanting when it comes to range of races that they offer. One of the key features for us was the number of ante post markets that you were able to bet on, often including races that are as far as 12 months down the line. This is pretty uncommon in the industry and it allows shrewd punters to get on certain horses early, taking advantage of potentially over inflated odds at that time.

Live Betting & Streaming

Like so many bookmakers these days, the live betting section almost feels like an area that is separated from the main site, but in a good way. Once in, you will be able to see which games are currently running live and then from there you can get a on overview of the match betting markets.

Jumping in to certain games will give you the chance to see a much larger number of markets to bet on. Sports such as football will allow you to utilise their match centre live section as well, which gives information on what is happening in each game. This might include things such as dangerous attacks, certain teams in possession, fouls or free kicks. It’s a great way to see what’s going on without actually watching the match live.

Casino Games at BetVictor

As one of the biggest brands in the online gaming industry, BetVictor have been a leading light for decades now. All this experience is often overlooked in the industry these days, especially given how many new casinos seem to be popping up every week. With BetVictor you buy into a brand rather than just a one off site, which shouldn’t be overlooked when making your decision about which company to use.

The design of the casino is one of the areas that we think they really excel. They have always been brilliant when it comes to design, right from their sportsbook to their online poker room back in the day, and the casino definitely carries on this theme. The site feels more of an app than anything, with icons on offer that aren’t too far away from your smartphone device.

Once you get into the app itself the casino takes on another dimension and we think it might just be the best casino app on the market to date. It not only looks great, but probably more importantly when using a mobile, it’s able to perform really great as well, allowing you to quickly jump from game to game, without the need for too many menus.

Game Variety

For a long time BetVictor actually only used a couple of providers for their games on site and whilst this was fine, it really held them back from becoming one of the best. These days they have jumped in to bed with several providers, including Microgaming, NetEnt, Evolution Gaming and IGT, to name but a few. This not only gives them access to a lot of games, but also some of the best games that we have tested.

All in all there’s over 600 games to choose from within the casino, which makes them one of the biggest going. It may be a little overwhelming for some who are new in terms of knowing which games to pick, but as long as you utilise the menu system and event the search functionality, it becomes a lot less daunting.

As you can imagine, slots make up a huge bulk of the total number of games on offer, with around 400 to choose from. The games are pretty mixed in terms of quality to be honest. The good games are great, such as Congo Bongo, Giant’s Gold and Thunderstruck 2, but there are a lot of mediocre games mixed in as well. The shining light for the casino is that you are able to demo all of the games before you use real money, if you wish. If you are new to some of the games or even online casinos in general, then we would highly recommend that you use this feature before playing for real money.

With over 40 table games to choose from, you’re never going to be left wanting. What was interesting about this section is that they have actually included a range of software providers for their games, which is rare as you usually team up with one to power the whole site, so it’s clear that they’ve been selective about who they choose games from.

Jackpots

With over 20 jackpot games to choose from, you are getting access to a really strong range within the bookmaker. They have some of the biggest names in the industry such as Mega Moolah, Mega Jackpots and Arabian Nights, all regularly surpassing the £1million for their payouts.

Live Dealers

The live casino is one of the latest additions to the BetVictor casino and we think it’s been one that was well overdue. The casino offers live casino games around the clock and in full HD, which is great. At busier times you are able to choose which dealers you play with and are even able to open private tables and certain limits. Game variants include roulette, blackjack, baccarat and a variation of mixed games.

Banking

At BetVictor you will be able to get a load of different banking options to keep your going. They range from debit cards, e-wallets and BACS (UK only). When depositing you will not be forced to pay any charges and payments will be processed instantly, apart from BACS which they state can take up to 2 working days to clear.

Withdrawals don’t incur any charges either, times will vary depending on your chosen method. Debit cards will take 3-6 business days, e-wallets 1-3 business days (although usually within just a couple of hours) and BACS will take 3-5 business days, which is actually very quick for this payment type.

It’s worth noting that deposit limits starts from as little as £5 with a maximum cash out in one transaction of £50,000. They do state that if you are looking to withdraw a higher sum then it may be broken up into several transactions. It’s also worth noting that you may need to send some form of ID to confirm who you are. This is pretty much standard practice these days to combat against fraud, so it’s best to have information such as passport, driving license and utility bills with current address on hand should you need to produce them.
