Victor Chandler is a bookmaker who has gained a reputation in the industry for being honest, transparent and reputable, not to mention the fact that they offer really good odds across a range of sports but particularly the core two of soccer and horse racing.

That said, it hasn’t stopped them from growing a big Asian customer base thanks to the Asian handicap betting opportunities which are available.

Background

The story began back in 1925 when Victor's grandfather, William, opened up Walthamstow Greyhound Stadium. However, it was not until 1946 that Victor Chandler senior created the company as we know it now. The operation is now run by his son, another Victor Chandler, and this bookmaker has developed a reputation for honesty, integrity and a willingness to accommodate high-stakes customers. Based in Gibraltar, They have been online since 1994 and were the first UK bookmaker to offer customers tax-free betting.

It is no coincidence that Victor is known as "The Gentleman Bookmaker". He hates to refuse anyone a bet and as the racing journalist and Channel 4 presenter, Alastair Down, once wrote "he is the acceptable face of bookmaking.
