With over 75 years in the betting industry, BetVictor is one of the oldest bookmakers and has attracted millions of customers worldwide in their years of operation.
The company started out as Victor Chandler and was rebranded as BetVictor in 2014 when acquired by shareholder Michael Tabor.
The bookmaker has won countless awards over the years, mainly for their excellent odds on football but excel in several areas including their sports, casino and bingo products.
Being in operation for over 75 years says something about a brand and during that time, BetVictor has built up a positive reputation in the industry with both professionals and customers.
They are widely regarded as one of the most established and trustworthy betting sites out there and have customers in over 150 customers around the world. They hold all the relevant licences to operate in those countries which should give you confidence that everything is above board.
BetVictor is one of the most popular bookies for horse racing with much of their focus being around the sport. The brand is owned by businessman and racehorse owner Michael Tabor and has sponsored some of the biggest races including the Cheltenham Gold Cup.
Customers can bet on races taking place all around the world including in the UK, Ireland, France, South Africa, Japan, Hong Kong, USA and of course, New Zealand.
As well as paying out on First Past The Post, BetVictor have several horse racing betting offers available throughout the week.
Best Odds Guaranteed
If you bet on UK or Irish racing, you'll be able to take advantage of Best Odds Guaranteed which applies to all races as well as all UK & Irish Greyhound races.
There's no need to opt-in to the promotion. Simply place a bet on a horse in an eligible race and if they win and went off at a bigger price than you took, your bet will be settled at the bigger odds.
Lengthen The Odds
'Lengthen The Odds' is a special feature that allows customers to choose the distance that the horse they are backing will win by. If you think a certain horse will win comfortably, you can choose a longer distance which will result in you receiving bigger odds for your bet.
You'll find the option to lengthen the odds of any horse on the individual race pages.
Racing Bet Boosts
Throughout each day, BetVictor release Bet Boosts for specific horse races. The boosts are on specific bets and so you can't choose which odds to boost but they're worth keeping an eye on as some of them can have value. You'll regularly find singles and multiples boosted for the day's races.
Daily Racing Specials
Unique bets are available in the 'Daily Racing Specials' section on BetVictor which lists unique bets that there generally aren't standard markets for. For example, you may be able to bet on 'No winning favourites today at Kempton', 'All 7 SP favourites to place today at Bath' or 'There to be 11 or more winning favourites at Naas/Kempton/Bath'.
Football Betting
As you'd expect, football is widely available to bet on at BetVictor with matches available from leagues and competitions around the world. All of the most popular leagues such as the English Premier League, Serie A, the Bundesliga and La Liga are covered as well as the Australian A League, Japan J-1 League and several others.
As well as all of the standard football bets and markets that you'll find at any top bookmaker, there are several additional options customers can choose from.
Boosted Accas
Every day, you'll find a list of pre-made footy accumulators that BV have boosted the odds of. They don't necessarily feature matches in the same leagues but the odds can be boosted by good amounts at times.
Bet Builders
Customers have the choice of either choosing from pre-made Bet Builders for specific football matches or creating their own. Bet Builders allow you to combine markets on the same event to essentially make a same-game Acca.
Multi Match
The Multi Match feature is unique to BetVictor and allows customers to place a bet on how two football matches may compare against each other in certain departments. For example, with the 'Match With Most Goals' Multi Match, you can pick one of several matches that you think the most goals will be scored in and get odds for it. There are several Multi Match markets and it's a nice feature that gives customers more choice when it comes to bets.
Football Specials
The specials section features markets usually based around teams and managers. For example, here you'll be able to bet on the next manager to take over at a certain club or the next Premier League manager to leave their post.
Cash Out
BetVictor allows customers to both fully cash out, or partially cash out their bets. The partial cash out addition is particularly nice as it allows you to still have the enjoyment of a running bet but be able to lock in a return to cover stakes and possibly a profit at the same time.
Cash out is available on several sports and markets and you can check to see if you have a bet that is eligible for cash out by clicking on the 'Cash Out' button alongside your bet slip. If you do, you can select how much you'd like to cash out and it will instantly be credited to your available balance.
Streaming Sports On BetVictor
A variety of sports can be streamed with BetVictor and any events that have a stream available will have the 'Watch' icon alongside them. The most popular sport streamed is horse racing with races available from Cheltenham, Aintree, Punchestown, Newcastle, Chepstow, Kempton, Leopardstown and more.
To access the horse racing streams, you need to place a bet of £1 or more on the race you want to watch. However, replays of all UK & Irish races that are covered by 'AtTheRaces' are available for free.
Does BetVictor Have An App In New Zealand?
The BetVictor app is available to all customers for free and can be downloaded from the app stores. The app is available on both iOS and Android devices and is compatible with both smartphones and tablets.
The app looks, feels and works just like the BV mobile website and allows access to all betting options, features and tools that you can get on the desktop site.
We fully recommend downloading the app if you use BetVictor often as it provides quick access to your account and betting markets, live streaming of events and you can also receive notifications when special offers become available.
BetVictor Casino
Whether you want to play online pokies, table games or live casino games, they have it all. New pokies are added on a regular basis with an excellent selection from providers such as Microgaming, IGT, Novomatic and Cryptologic.
If you prefer playing card games, there are several versions of blackjack available along with baccarat, hold'em poker, jacks or better and more.
In the live casino section, players can choose from standard games with real dealers and croupiers or some of the wide selection of game shows such as Monopoly Live, Crazy Time, Dream Catcher and Mega Ball.
Casino Sign Up Bonus
New customers from New Zealand can claim a 100% deposit bonus up to $300 in the casino. It's a great offer if you want to try out what they have to offer and be in with a chance of making big profits.
