Full Victor Chandler Review
Coverage & Games
Victor Chandler has a very nice selection of poker games. Obviously, it includes the standard selection of Texas Hold’em, Omaha, Omaha Hi/Lo, and 7 Card Stud. Aside from that, Victor Chandler Poker games also include 5 Card Draw, 32 Card Draw, 2-7 Triple Draw, Soko, Telesina, and Americana. These extra games are certainly quite unique for an online poker site… and that’s about all you can say for them, as most players will be at the Hold’em or Omaha tables. Rare games only really work at a big site like PokerStars or Full Tilt Poker, so while it is encouraging to see them in the Victor Chandler Poker games collection, it isn’t all that useful.
Victor Chandler Poker accepted players include those from the UK and Europe, as well as Australia and many other parts of the world. USA players are not accepted at this poker room.
Bonuses, Promotions & Tournaments
You actually get a choice for your Victor Chandler Poker first deposit bonus, with options to suit both high rollers and the average player.
The first of the Victor Chandler welcome bonuses offers a 100% match on your first deposit of up to €2,500. This bonus can be claimed with the Victor Chandler Poker bonus code “2POINT5K”.
The second Victor Chandler Poker bonus option offers a 100% match on your first deposit of up to €1,000 plus a potential entry package into the EMOP (European Masters of Poker) event that is worth €1,650. This package includes entry to the EMOP event of your choice and accommodation expenses. You can claim this using the Victor Chandler Poker bonus code “EMOPBONUS”.
The third and final Victor Chandler Poker welcome bonus option is a 100% bonus on a first deposit of up to €250 that you can earn over an indefinite period (the other bonuses require you to meet playthrough requirements within a certain timeframe). This is perfect for the beginning player on a normal budget and can be claimed with the Victor Chandler Poker bonus code “2FIFTY”.
Victor Chandler Poker promotions do not stop there, though. Players can also benefit from other frequent offers, including payouts on special hands and tournament leaderboards with monthly prizes. We recommend you keep an eye on the Victor Chandler Poker promotions page, as there is always something there to give players a little more value.
Victor Chandler tournaments are very good value considering this poker room is still quite young. First of all, the “Key Tournaments” at Victor Chandler offer some fairly large guaranteed prize pools, especially the monthly $100k Monthly Special tournament.
What really interests us, however, is how Victor Chandler Poker is trying to blend live and online poker with its European Masters of Poker tour that sees live tournaments take place all over Europe. EMOP games have been played in Lisbon, Dublin, Barcelona, Bulgaria, and Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands. We think this series is a great idea as it is another good effort to bridge the gap between online and live poker play.
Ease of Use & Support
Victor Chandler Poker software is playable, but it lacks the polish that some of the bigger sites boast. You should find it easy to navigate and we had no problems finding the games we wanted. Playing was much the same as any other poker site, though without some of the subtle options that bigger sites offer.
As Victor Chandler has been in the online gambling business for a long time, you shouldn’t be surprised that Victor Chandler Poker support is extensive. You can contact Victor Chandler Poker support via live chat, email or phone. This is a much more comprehensive support service than the biggest poker sites offer.
Banking & Limits
Victor Chandler banking options depend on where you are playing from, but the following is a list of supported options.
Victor Chandler deposit options: Visa, MasterCard, debit cards, Moneybookers/Skrill, PayPal, Neteller, EcoCard, Ukash, bank transfer or Western Union.
Victor Chandler cash out options: Visa, debit cards, Moneybookers/Skrill, PayPal, Neteller, or BACS.
Betting limits at Victor Chandler Poker are on the lower end, but most of the players want low stakes anyway. The lowest stakes are 2c/4c for no limit games and they can go up to €200/€400 for no limit or €750/€1500 for limit. Tournaments can cost less than a dollar or more than €1,000.
Reputation & Integrity
Victor Chandler is a widely trusted online gambling brand, so you need not worry about the integrity of Victor Chandler Poker. It is licensed in Gibraltar, which is one of the most trusted gambling licensing jurisdictions in the world and is even included on the UK Gambling Commission White List. If you can’t trust Victor Chandler Poker, then we don’t know which online poker site you could. Victor Chandler has a well-deserved reputation for fairness, so we highly recommend it to new players who are still unsure about online poker.
