Victor Chandler - The History
From discreet English Gentleman bookmaker, to head
of the World's leading independent sports betting
and gaming group in just three years.
That in essence is the Victor Chandler story so
far. And the story is far from over.
t takes a certain kind of man to achieve that. It
started when Victor, who was then a credit bookmaker
with a small but very select group of wealthy clients,
spotted an opportunity to offer tax-free betting from
outside the United Kingdom.
The Victor Chandler Group may be a different entity
from the London-based business that started in the
1940s. But it's worth remembering that placing a bet
is an act of trust. Worth remembering because, in
the 25 years or more since Victor Chandler took over
the family business, he has established a reputation
for honour, integrity and for having virtually no
upper limit on the bets that he will lay.
It is these qualities that have gained him a reputation
as the Gentleman Bookmaker.
Victor is the grandson of Victor Chandler senior,
who founded the original company in 1946.
The family built Walthamstow Greyhound Stadium and
then Victor's father built the business into a chain
of some 40 betting shops around the UK before leaving
his son with a controlling interest and legacy of
one of the finest reputations in the industry. His
company was voted Bookmaker of the Year in 1969. He
died young in 1975, leaving the entire company to
his family.
Since then, Victor has developed the business further,
selling off the original shops and establishing the
company as a global telephone and online operation
with offices in both London and Gibraltar. He has,
however, never lost sight of the values that first
- and still - set the company apart: customer service,
discretion and financial stability.
Victor Chandler International is now widely regarded
as the world's leading independent bookmaking and
gaming group of companies
