    Victor Chandler - feedback
    Hi everyone,
    I'm considering opening an account at Victor Chandler. Can you give me some feedback on this bookie? Does it limit you fast? Are players' funds safe? I've read about confiscations of funds in the forum, so is this regular practice at Victor Chandler? Your stories/opinions will be appreciated.

            Solid Book

            The Big Euro Books like William Hill, Victor Chandler, Bet365, PaddyPower, Ladbrokes, Sportingbet, Blue Square, Interwetten, Gamebookers, are all good books that are conservative so your not going to hammer them with lots of big winning bets.

              I opened an account there for around 3 or 4 years... 95% of my bets was on USA Horses (Pari-Mutuel), the other 5% are UK Horses (booking).... never a issue except for the first time withdrawl when i send all my documents (normal at any wagering site) took around one week for verify... since two months ago i got a email announcing the closure of my account and the two pending bets will be paid (if win) to moneybookers. Reason of closure, no idea, all email invoke a rule that VC can close any account at any moment and without a reason, they advised if i want a reason, i have to send a complain to IBAS, IBAS reject the complain and recommend to pass it to Gilbraltar Regulatory Authority. Still dont have a reply from they... I think this case is dead...

              I hit few superfecta and small pick six payout never more that 5 digits,, I am not sure but my mind said this F^#$^&$# site is taking bets and booking it (not send to the host track). And maybe that is the reason of kick me out.

                Don't know if it'll help anyone but I just had my Victor Chandler account closed. I did around 50-60 (what I presume are) fairly small stake, low value arbs and they closed the account and wouldn't engage in any discussion (as per their terms...)

                I have only been doing this a short time and I certainly have no duplicate account, I had disabled iosnare and control my cookies religiously so they may figure that I have something to hide...

                My betting history can be summarized: Around 60 bets, highest stake was £50, average stake £15, biggest win around £450, overall loss on the account to VC of around £500)

                The balance went up to around £1000, I withdrew most of it, lost some more, deposited again and next day (a week or so after the withdrawal) they closed the account.

                I thought that this may be of interest to anyone who, like me, figured they might be able to fly under the radar...

                    never heard of them, so I'd suggest staying away until you know what they're about.

                      They are a solid book but this is the perspective of a resident of the UK. Whether players from other countries are treated any differently I don't know, but I would doubt it. Good customer service and fast payouts here, but as a poster mentioned above, if you can pick they will not tolerate you for long.

                        I am very surprised I havn't been banned there yet actually. I've arbed them and done all sorts to them and have withdrawn about $1500 with a current $1k balance.

                        I used moneybookers to deposit/withdraw and they havn't asked for ID and have been very swift. I would give them an A+ however once they tried to scam me on a baseball wager saying their rules had changed regarding pitchers, I probed their dumb chat support a bit for the next week and it turns out they didnt change the rules after all but did refund me the bet which apparently was a "goodwill gesture". But overall they're pretty solid.

                          Interesting - did you Arb them on US Sports or Euro sports?

                            They closed my account after about 36 hours. Yes I was a customer for 36 hours!!!!!

                            I placed three bets on NBA and one bet on a sure-win and I lost it all on BetVictor.

                            I lost about 1800 dollars there.

                            And one week ago Ladjokes limited my bets to 0.

                            such clowns.

                              ll if your betting off lines for $500 and more of course your going to get booted

                              Every UK Book does it

                                they´re really slow at moving their lines on any US sport. instead of getting better linesmen they just close your account. doesnt matter how much you bet even if its only 50 or 100

                                      I bet £1-10k on 1 side (or more if I can get it on) on arbing UK books and rarely have a problem, they know what I'm doing and whilst I do get banned from some (PP & bluesqu), others use me to balance their positions and even pay me loyality bonuses/hospitality. There are certain things you can do to stay under the radar and keep them happy, everyones a winner.

                                      Edit: Meant to say VC are fine, safe as houses.

                                        Don't start playing there slow line movements for particular games.

                                                  To me VC is a very solid book, low limits after some winning bets, but your money is definely safe there.
