BetVictor Casino Review

Welcome Bonus and Promotions

Casino BetVictor has a welcome offer that new players can opt into and claim a 100% welcome bonus matched up to $300. Users who deposit from $10 up to $300 shall be eligible for the bonus and there are seven days in which to claim after opening an account with Bet Victor Casino.

Casino Bet Victor does stipulate in the terms and conditions (T&Cs) that the welcome bonus cannot be claimed with deposits made by Skrill, paysafecard or Neteller. Review readers must also know there are just three days given for clearing the 35x wagering requirements.

One crucial piece of advice for any review readers who join BetVictor Casino is to sign up for exclusive offers on the registration form. Aside from the welcome bonus, BetVictor doesn't publicly display bonus promotions. Signing up for exclusive bonus offers will present opportunities to gain free spins with no deposit and enter special events. Later on, review readers can opt-out of the bonus list if desired.

BetVictor Casino excels in many ways, though could be more active in giving away free spins and bonus funds. Although neglecting free spins, there are weekly events in the form of Drops & Wins, which is a leaderboard challenge, and the BetVictor Blackjack Jackpot.

In the past, BetVictor has awarded free spins as part of welcome bonus offers. If this can't be offered anymore, then we would at least want to see the operator awarded bonus free spins. For instance, a bonus could help to promote the release of a major new slot release.

BetVictor Casino Bonus and Promotions for Canada

If visiting Casino BetVictor from the UK, £70 is the value quoted for the welcome bonus. By creating an account in Canada, however, review readers can see that a much larger $300 is exclusively provided to CAD-based depositors. The 100% match bonus doesn't come with no deposit free spins, but it's worth more than double here in Canada compared to the UK.

Microgaming at BetVictor Casino

A review of the software has shown that Microgaming has provided BetVictor Casino Canada with blackjack, roulette, slots and jackpots. However, with more than 2,000 games hosted across the casino site, other developers have been integral to populating BetVictor with content. Prime examples include NetEnt, NYX, NextGen, IGT, Play'n GO, Pragmatic Play, Thunderkick and Evolution Gaming.

With so many high-end options to play, review readers need to have efficient access. Thankfully, this comes from BetVictor operating a browser-based casino lobby that's compatible on Windows when visited with Chrome. For any review readers who favour Mac, BetVictor can also function on Apple's Safari browser. Just ensure to install any relevant plugins highlighted by the online casino.

Mobile Gaming/Live Casino for Canada

A BetVictor Casino account can work on either the desktop or mobile casino sites from here in Canada. On mobile, review readers can choose to access BetVictor from smartphones and tablets that are compatible with HTML5. Android is often the dominant operating system, though access can also be made by iOS on iPad or iPhone.

Alternatively, mobile users can access BetVictor Casino Canada with apps designed for Android and iOS and provided via Google Play and the App Store, respectively. After installing the BetVictor app, review readers can begin to play mobile-compatible casino tables, video slots and progressive jackpots.

Microgaming has shared hundreds of gaming releases here, but BetVictor has sought the support of Evolution Gaming to operate the live casino suite. The result is a user-friendly environment where players can clearly find available seats and consult the current wagering limits for live dealer tables.

As of this review, there were gameshows, roulette, blackjack, poker and baccarat to choose from, including branded BetVictor tables. Of all the options, this review can recommend Crazy Time, Monopoly Live, Mega Ball, Dream Catcher, Lightning Roulette, Power Blackjack, Speed Baccarat, Dragon Tiger, Ultimate Texas Hold'em, Caribbean Stud and Side Bet City.

Games and Payout Percentages

There are standard categories for slots, jackpots, tables, instant wins, lotteries, sports and virtual, while the more modern options include game shows, new releases, Daily Jackpot, Megaways and & Wins. While BetVictor Casino doesn't make content playable with demo deposit, there are other sites where you can use practice mode or a bonus to play with no deposit - you can find examples here.

BetVictor has separate live and casino channels, though some live tables can be found within the non-live ones. For any review readers starting here, you can encounter Atlantic City Blackjack, Classic Blackjack, Perfect Pairs, BetVictor Roulette, European Roulette, Mini Baccarat, Casino Hold'em Poker and Jackpot Poker.

Considering that the slots rise into four figures, review readers should appreciate being able to search the releases by a supplier, highlights and new releases. These have included the exclusive BetVictor - Brand Megaways, Jack in the Box, Barbarian Gold, Banana Drop, Starburst, Rainbow Riches and Bonus Bunnies. With the slots, it's exciting to find free spins from among the bonus features.

BetVictor even managed to surprise us in the review process by hosting over 90 instant wins and scratch cards. Blood Queen Scratch, Super Graphics Upside-Down, Shore Thing, Epic Gems, Boss the Lotto, Diamond Deal, Over the Rainbow, Wild Safari, Pot Luck and BetVictor Football are only a fraction of the well-made options.

In our review of the gaming content, we appreciated the transparency of BetVictor Casino Canada by committing to the publication of monthly payout percentages. These were the very latest figures available as of this review:

• All Games - 97.37%
• Slots games - 95.78%
• Table games - 98.09%
• Poker games - 93.20%

Progressive Jackpots - Winners

A deep-sea fishermen from Scotland hit the UK headlines by winning the stunning sum of £5.4 million ($9.25 million in CAD) at BetVictor Casino in October 2013. The family man was playing the Hall of Gods slot from NetEnt when he became a millionaire on a spin of only £0.20 ($0.34).

Close to 80 progressive jackpot slots are accessible from BetVictor Casino Canada, with special categories including MegaJackpots, Jackpot King, Mega and Mega Drop. Top targets to play for include Top Cat, Paws of Fury, Cleopatra, Wolf Run, Siberian Storm, Lucky Lanes, Book of Relics, Mega Moolah, Absolootly Mad and Atlantean Treasures.

Banking Options for Canada

Casino BetVictor favours GBP and will initially display bonus offers in the currency until review readers create an account here in Canada and assign CAD instead. After selecting CAD, no deposit will be forced in CAD and review readers will escape any need to pay currency conversion rates and costs.

After setting up an account, no deposit can be made without assigning a deposit limit. An option for no limit is available, though it's more sensible to use the daily, weekly or monthly options provided. In the future, you can review the deposit limit and adjust it higher or lower.

From Canada, the deposit methods are limited to only Maestro, MasterCard, VISA and paysafecard. With paysafecard, however, no deposit will be eligible to receive the welcome bonus, which makes this option feel redundant. There's a case for VISA being the best withdrawal method, as it's eligible for FastFunds withdrawals and winnings can be received in your account within 30 minutes.

Customer Support

There's much that can be learnt from the BetVictor help desk, which is operated by ZenDesk. From this platform, players can review the ins and outs of the casino, safer gambling, bonus offers and account features. With a little patience, review readers can uncover answers for all of the most common issues.

Additionally, there's a contact section with all available communication options for reaching BetVictor. Live chat is perhaps the most suitable, closely followed by email, call-back and text messages. BetVictor even encourages players to stay in contact via Facebook and Twitter, where bonus events and new games are often publicised.

Security and Fairness at BetVictor Casino

BetVictor Casino Canada may ask every player to supply personal documentation to complete an anti-fraud review. An account can then be verified and be approved for withdrawals. Another integral security element is BetVictor's use of 256-bit RSA encryption from digital protection specialist Thawte. Review readers can read the current certificate from the security logo beside the web address.

UK auditor eCOGRA produces an independent report of the monthly payout percentages for BetVictor Casino. These are available for review via the help desk and are found from the game fairness page within the casino section. To further address fairness, this Canada review found that BetVictor holds operating licences from Gibraltar and the UK.

Casino History/Complaints

The Chandler family has provided sports betting services in the UK since 1931. Eventually, Victor Chandler Jnr received ownership in 1974 and operated the brand for nearly 25 years until transitioning online with BetVictor in 2000. BetVictor Ltd is now operated independently and is headquartered in Gibraltar.

BetVictor Casino Canada can be viewed positively for holding a Gibraltar licence and sharing monthly payout percentages. However, the brand's image could be improved by working with online casino portals to review player complaints. Past failures have resulted in a blacklisting with one portal, while another has only resolved an approximate 13% of complaints.

Unique Casino Features for Canada

BetVictor Casino Canada is showing promise despite not having a linguistic setting to accommodate French-Canadians. For a site that can address this need, here's our review of Espace Jeux Casino Canada. Meanwhile, any review readers who register with BetVictor will find a setting to select CAD as the default currency. Doing so will ensure that all bonus promotions and no deposit free spins can be wagered in CAD.
