VC Casino

The Gibraltar-based Victor Chandler Group has been providing betting services since 1946. It has a long-standing reputation for integrity and reliability, and this casino site takes those qualities forward into the world of gaming. They currently pay out over one million pounds each week, which says something about their popularity. Part of that popularity is undoubtedly due to the various promotions and loyalty schemes that they offer, but what about the VC Casino itself?

Well, to begin with, you can play for real or for fun. Signing up to play for fun involves entering your name, address, date of birth and a couple of other personal details. If you want to play for real, you will also need to provide details for your chosen method of deposit and withdrawal. The process takes just a minute or two, and as soon as it’s done, you can begin to play.

The first thing a new member will notice is how elegantly simple everything is. Graphics and sound are realistic and enjoyable, yet there is no software to download. Instead, everything takes place within pop-up windows. Although that doesn’t sound very impressive, it really is, thanks to VC’s innovative approach to web technology – something that is so good that their services are now used by a growing number of third party branded sites, including those of the Racing Post and FHM.

For those people who have never played online before, or who are new to a particular casino game, the site offers “how to play” guides on all the games offered. These guides include basic rules and an assortment of playing tips and strategies that even old hands may find useful.

Whilst the name of Victor Chandler will always be most commonly associated with sportsbook betting, this casino site is one that any serious player should make time to explore. It’s simple, elegant and – in a nutshell – a pleasure to use.

Games

There is ain impressive variety of games on offer here, including Blackjack, Roulette (both American and European versions), Baccarat, Craps, Poker (Paigow, Video, 3 card and Casino Stud) and slot machines (3 reel and 5 reel). Whilst there are arguably other online casinos which have an even bigger selection of games, each of the ones offered here are presented with the same high level of graphic elegance. Playing them is also incredibly intuitive. As the site itself says, “no stone has been left unturned in the search to make the betting experience as enjoyable and as simple to use as possible.”

Operator

For customer service, customers calling from within the UK should phone: 08000 97 59 50. Customers calling from any other country should phone: 0035 0 46467. Customer service is also available by e-mailing: vccasino@vcint.com.

Money

Deposits can be made by either debit or credit cards, and transactions are completed on a secure encrypted link between the head office in Gibraltar and the clearing bank centre. Withdrawal requests are typically honoured the very next working day, however, users should note that it is not usually possible to withdraw money back to a MasterCard, so if this method is used to make a deposit an alternative means of withdrawal will need to be employed.
