BetVictor Sports Betting Review (2024)

🍬BetVictor has been a major player in the sports betting industry since 1946, renowned for its focus on horse racing and football. They offer a variety of features, including the Football Bet Builder, Quick and Partial Cash Outs, and live streaming. But how does it stack up against the competition? Are their odds and markets competitive? This BetVictor review answers all these questions and more.

൩ Conveniently, the actual process of joining a betting site happens to be one of the best ways of testing its design, as you can often see here how well the site responds and how much thought has gone into making everything as simple as possible. The best betting sites should always be easy to use, after all.

And unsurprisingly for a site with the reputation of BetVictor, this is all made very, very easy.

⛎ In this section of my review, I’ll be taking you through every step of the sign-up process so you’ll know exactly what to expect.

First off, you’ll simply need to enter your e-mail, mobile, and a secure password.

As you can see from the below image, the welcome bonus is available to view at this stage, and you’ll also be able to contact live chat in case you have any issues or questions.

After you enter a few more basic details, including gender, name, and date of birth, that is pretty much all there is to it.

This seems like as good a time as any to point out the one account per person rule, which not only extends to things like your personal details, but even your email, home, and IP address.

Next up there’s your address – generally, all you’ll need to do is type a postcode here and the rest will be filled out for you.

🌳 In the final step, all you need to do is choose whether you want to receive bonus offers (which I highly recommend), choose your currency, and accept both the privacy policy and terms and conditions.

🎶 If you’re happy with everything, hit that big green create account button and you are all finished!

Immediately after you have completed the registration process, you can choose your preferred bank details and deposit fundsꦚ. This is a big, mainstream betting site in the UK, so as you would expect, every option here is a legitimate household name that you can trust.

These include Visa and Mastercard.

Deposits

All deposits should be instant with no additional feesᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ from the bookmaker. The minimum and maximum amount depend on the currency you are using, as this site is available in several countries. Although I used GDP for the sake of this review, do be sure to check the site itself if you are signing up from another country.

🍨 The minimum deposit is £5, and the maximum is £500,000.

Withdrawal Times

With regards to the withdrawal times, this is instant up to 24 hours, and there is no charge for this service.

💞 Some people will want more options, especially those who are looking for play with cryptocurrencies. But this is aimed at a very mainstream audience and for the vast, vast majority of those looking to use BetVictor, this selection will be more than enough.

How To Deposit & Withdraw

ꩲ In order to show you how payments work at BetVictor, I will run you through my experience of placing a deposit and withdrawing my funds below so you can see for yourself what to expect.

This is what you’ll see at the top of the screen. All you need to do is choose your preferred payment method, hit depositꦡ and you’ll be able to select your desired amount of funds you wish to transfer.

ꦕ As you can see, I had the choice to deposit £10, £20 or £30. I added £10 and was credited as shown in the following screen.

I now had £10 to bet with.ꦫ Do keep in mind that, although I opted in for the welcome promotion, I had not yet bet the money to activate it. So, I decided to pick Manchester United to beat Chelsea, because I thought they were given decent odds.

As you can see, after this, I was credited with the welcome bonus.

On top of that, my bet was successful, meaning I received the below notification.

All I had to do to withdraw my winnings was head into my settings and enter the amount I wished to take out. Do note that I had to withdraw by the same method via which I deposited.

I hit that button and the withdrawal began processing immediately.

🀅 That’s all there is to it. I deposited £10, put it on a market I liked, won that bet, got my promotion, and withdrew my funds. It really is that simple!

BetVictor's welcome offer🐈 allows you to bet £10 on football and get £30 in free bets to use on selected markets. There is also a casino welcome bonus, but it’s separate from this promotion.

To claim this offer, you will need to opt in. Then, make a deposit of any amount via debit card or Apple Pay (other payment methods are excluded from this offer) and place a bet of £10 or more on any football market at minimum odds of 2.00 or greater.

I found that this whole process took under five minutes.

ꩵ Once my bet was finalised, I received £30 in free bets broken down into the following:

The terms and conditions were very fair and beyond competitive for Betvictor welcome offers. For instance, I had a whole 7 days from registering an account to make a qualifying deposit and bet. This took up no extra effort – I was able to meet these criteria while betting normally.

I also had a full week to use my free bets🔥, which was especially easy considering the immense market variety at BetVictor.

This is, of course, enhanced by the fact that although the free bets are split into distinct criteria, they are available to use on almost all odds beyond their specific restrictions.

🅰 And to be clear, “almost” refers to all markets except void bets, bet boosts, special markets, enhanced accas, cashed out bets or bets placed with another bonus.

🅰 Best of all the free bets had no wagering requirements, meaning I kept whatever I won.

🌃 And that is far from all that is available in terms of promotions at BetVictor.

Before I go into what is currently available, I would like to point out two things. One is that BetVictor regularly offer promotions via your preferred contact option,✨ meaning that what is shown here is far from all that is available.

On top of that promotions are regularly changed and/or updated. This does mean that there may be a difference to what you see here and what is available on the betting site. This can include the promotions more generally such as those offered via BetVictor promo codesඣ, but it can also mean certain terms and conditions, so be sure to check just in case to avoid any misunderstandings or disappointment.

Run for your money: An interesting twist here as this promotion provides you with a free bet if your horse loses all chance at the start of a race – in other words, if it doesn’t run.

I love BetVictor’s approach to promotions – they are all aimed at providing practical benefits that don’t require you to be a high roller to enjoy. Not only do these bonuses provide value, but also provide a reason to try out more of the site, and in that regard, I’d say it's mission accomplished.

Sports

There’s a huge amount of sports to choose from at BetVictor,﷽ and although they don’t stray too far from what can be considered mainstream, the vast majority of potential users should be more than satisfied with what is available here.

It’s not just the selection of sports, which includes everything from football and horse racing to ice hockey and basketball, to give but a few examples, but also the sheer amount of different leagues and sub-markets available.

You’ll be able to find everything from the Premier League🌞 to League Two and beyond, with the most popular matches providing several dozen betting markets.

🐠 Like I said, only those looking for something very niche would fail to find it here.

⭕ Right, so we know the options are ample, but do they represent good value? There’s one key way of working this out, and that is by utilising the overround.

For those of you not in the know, the overround refers to the bookmaker's margin – in other words, the extra value they add on for themselves to retain an edge and ultimately to stay in business. The way it works is simple.

๊ If you have three possible outcomes, say either side winning or a draw, then the odds converted into percentages should logically come out to 100%. That means certain and it is certain that one of those outcomes must be the result.

However, when you do this with a bookmaker it will come out as more than 100% and the percentage beyond 100% is what is known as the overround. For reference, anything less than 110% is considered decent.

🌟 I’ve chosen Club Brugge v Manchester United to illustrate things further with an example.

Club Brugge has 85/40 odds of winning, which translates to 32%. Manchester United has 7/5 odds of winning, which translates to 41.7%. Finally, a draw has odds of 9/4, which translates as 30.8%. Add these all together and you get 104.5%, which can be considered very fair odds.

🍬 All in all, you have a great selection and great value in term of pre-match sports at BetVictor.

Esports

You would be forgiven for imagining that a site like BetVictor, which is so clearly aimed at the mainstream, might overlook esport gambling as so many others do. However, it appears they are too shrewd to not take advantage of this blossoming market. Dota 2, Counterstrike, League of Legends and FIFA betting are all available, with a solid selection of markets for each.

꧋ There are, of course, less than the more established traditional sports, but esports fans should find all major matches covered. Once again, I checked out the odds here, but do keep in mind that esports generally have higher odds than more competitive markets.

In a League of Legend clash between OZ Gaming and Spear Gaming, the former was given a 29/10 chance of winning, which translates to a probability of 25.6%, while the latter was given odds of 83.3%. All together this comes out as 108.9%,🎐 which, as I expected is more than our other example, but still can be considered quality odds.

Other Specials (Politics, Weather, Celebrities)

For those of you looking for something different, BetVictor does offer some options in the way of political and entertainment specials. At the time of writing, you can bet on the winners of leadership elections and the winner of Dancing On Ice, too.

Of course, the amount of options that are available hugely depends on what is going on at the time, but I do think it is fair to say that this probably isn’t the most expansive set of specials you’re ever likely to see – maybe we just caught them at a bad time.

🎀 Once again, BetVictor’s key focus is clearly on more traditional betting markets.

Cash Out & Bet Builder

The key to what makes BetVictor exceptional in terms of variety might not be how many weird or wonderful specials they have. It's more about how much depth you can get from the most popular sporting options. You can see this in how many sub-markets there are, how many leagues are covered, and in their Cash Out and Bet Builder options. Yes, both are here, and both are extensively available.

✱ Cash Out has been available to use on every bet I’ve made, both partial and full. And, in my opinion, what I’ve been offered has been fairly generous, it’s a great way to diversify your betting strategy.

ꦑ Of course, the number of events it is available on is down to the bookmaker. While I can’t provide exact figures, I can say that the selection was vast.

🧜 I also found the site's Bet Builder to be one of the most comprehensive and user-friendly I've ever used.

In terms of the amount of markets that are available, the selection of in-play bets matches its pre-match offer in virtually every regard.🍸 In all honesty, in terms of what you can bet on, there’s barely any difference.

Considering how great the pre-match offer is, this should be considered a good thing. The only downside is a lack of live streaming beyond horse racing, where a pound bet grants you access.

I never come down too hard on sites when it comes to a lack of livestreaming – the reality often is that it is simply beyond their capabilities especially when you get into the complicated licensing side of things.

What I do appreciate, though, is the effort made via graphics to allow you to follow the game as it happens.𒁃 Moreover, having all of your options set out clearly makes for a highly accessible and smooth live experience.

BetVictor are licensed for British users by the UK Gambling Commission, as well as under the Irish Revenue Commission for that jurisdiction and by the Government of Gibraltar for elsewhere.

Not only does this show that BetVictor are legitimate, but also shows the scope of their potential audience. Your data is also encryptedও, meaning it is kept safe from third parties, while their privacy policy is strict and in accordance with UK law.

BetVictor already made it clear that they take responsible gaming seriously with deposit limits, and also offer several links to the likes of and to help those who feel they have an issue🎀 and even have a checklist to help someone understand if they have a problem. There are also self-exclusion and time out tools. All in all, we couldn’t be happier with the security I’ve seen at BetVictor.

ౠ BetVictor is so easy to use, and so intuitive that many of you won’t need any additional help; however, there’s plenty here just in case you do.

Similarly, many will find that the excellent FAQ and help centre answered all their questions. You can contact customer support on Facebook, Twitter, email, text, request a callback, or chat to them live.ℱ The latter will be most people’s preferred option; even so, I tested out all the nonsocial media options to give you an example of the type of experience you’re likely to receive.

The responses from Live Chat was pretty much instant – quick and helpful each time I got in touch. Certainly, service worthy of the best betting sites.

ඣ I actually had some issues regarding the welcome bonus as my account had been activated earlier, and customer service were able to help me with that so I could enjoy the offer.

If you decide to go with email, you can expect an almost as speedy response – it took them 20 minutes to get back to me on this occasion, and their response was an extensive and information one. Chatting via email is great if you want to get a more concrete, saved response to an important question.

If you'd prefer to request a callback, you can see from the above image that you can select a half an hour slot✱ and provide details of your query in this form. You'll then be contacted via phone by a real human being at a time that suits you.

Text is also a fast and helpful option to use. In every attempt, customer service was fast, helpful and informative.

🐬 While BetVictor doesn’t innovate in terms of design, it does perfect a winning formula. Everything is easy to find and beautifully laid out, and we have a soft spot for its icy blue modern fonts adding a modern twist to a classic style. Aesthetic is all personal, of course, but I imagine they will have a lot of fans in this regard.

It manages to be mainly practical and pragmatic while maintaining a sense of style and personality. It’s a balance only the best betting sites pull off.

From a technical standpoint, too, it's virtually flawless. We found no slowdown,🍸 no minor hiccups, nothing that would negatively affect our experience with the site. This is of course especially important in the fast-paced world of live betting, where a slowdown can cause a big difference in odds if you place a bet or Cash Out too late.

I also love all the little touches like having a betting calculator on site so you can work out your betting maths in-house and their ongoing blog providing tips, news, and analysis. There’s a care and attention to detail which puts BetVictor in very rare company.

The brilliance of BetVictor is not merely confined to the desktop, as they’ve hit the ground running on mobile with a fantastic app on both Android and iOS.

The app offers a huge selection of sports, promotions, bet builder, and cash out – it's every bit as good as its desktop counterpart.

🏅 I’ve talked about the incredible amount of variety that is available on the sportsbook, and of course, that is our key focus. However, I know that some of you reading will also be interested in other betting options.

I'm thrilled to tell you if that is the case then you can pretty much get all your betting needs satisfied without needing to find a separate casino site because BetVictor has excellent and extensive Casino and Live Casino options, alongside virtual sports.

ꩵ There are an enormous number of great slots from the biggest and best software developers, alongside table games and more unique options.

There is also a casino welcome offer, which provides £30 in bonuses and 30 free spins when you deposit and wager £10.

It comes with competitive wagering requirements of 40x and your bonuses expire in 30 days. Maximum withdrawal is £1,250.

𝓀 Do note that you may only use one welcome bonus, and that the use of this casino bonus would mean that you forfeit the one for sports, so choose carefully.

BetVictor is a site that is aimed squarely at your mainstream audience.🎃 That’s obvious from the betting selection, the banking options, the design and the choice of promotions.

🌼 So, if you are looking for something which is more niche or has big rewards for high rollers, then perhaps something else would be more suitable.

🌠 For the vast majority though, I think that BetVictor could be a perfect fit. It has an amazing selection of betting markets on the most popular sports, the website looks and operates beautifully, the round-the-clock customer service is among the best in the world, the mobile betting app is fantastic, and the bonuses offer real value. For the type of user they are after, which is the majority of them, BetVictor make a rock-solid case for being among the best choices in an online world full of world-class competition.
