As one of the longest-running sports betting providers in the UK, BetVictor is often regarded as one of the best betting sites on the market, with a best-in-class mobile betting app. The site offers comprehensive sports odds, a variety of sports to put a bet on and has an easy-to-use interface, that makes it an excellent choice for new bettors and experienced punters alike. 

Key information

What is BetVictor all about?

Bonuses

BetVictor offers a range of bonuses to new customers, with different bonuses catered to different types of customer. Sports bettors can pick up either a football or horse racing betting bonus, while casino players have other bonuses available. The bonuses available during our review were relatively restricted, with bettors needing to bet at odds-against selections, to a certain amount, to be eligible for the bonus; and some of the free bet bonuses only had a short shelf-life once claimed. But, while their bonuses may not be the best on the market, their overall offering more than makes up for this.

Available sports

BetVictor’s range of sports is very competitive, with just about every major sport, and plenty of niche ones, too. Fans of Irish sports can find Gaelic football and hurling odds available while motorcycling, volleyball, squash and esports are also catered for. But BetVictor’s prime offering comes through its most popular sports - their football and horse racing betting options are considered among the very best in the industry. 

User experience and interface

BetVictor’s user experience on their website interface is an outstanding one. Their site has been tweaked and refined over the years to produce arguably the best sports betting website for UK customers, and one that makes newcomers to sports betting feel at ease. The sheer amount of information displayed by a betting site can be daunting, but odds, markets and offers are laid out smartly, with a nice amount of space to avoid the screen becoming overloaded with too much information.

Mobile and app compatibility

BetVictor offers a best-in-class app, with the design offering stacks of information, without ever being cluttered. The use of colours helps to make the overall presentation of odds and markets easy on the eye and less daunting to new bettors.

Placing bets is a piece of cake, with market and bet selection being incredibly simple to find and it will take you directly to your current betslip and active bets; everything is easy to find and simple to use. As is often the case, the app (we tested the iOS version) is a smoother, more pleasing experience than the website on mobile, but both are outstanding in their design and ease of use.

VIP programmes and loyalty rewards

BetVictor offers a simple loyalty programme, the BV Loyalty Club, which is available via the offers tab on the website/app.

Once you have logged in to your account, you will need to opt in to the promotion and place qualifying bets to become eligible, but once you are, you could get up to £25 of free bets each week. At the time of writing, you need to opt-in and place five sports bets of £5 or greater, each at odds of 1/2 (or greater), in order to win a ‘box’ that contains a free bet worth between £1 and £25. The free bet expires within seven days.
