VCBet, the online arm of UK land-based bookmakers Victor Chandler is another site where US citizens are not allowed to play. However, with this site, Victor Chandler has made a serious entry into the online poker industry and is currently running a nationwide advertising campaign in the UK. VCBet is the major room for the Tribeca Tables network in Europe, where the rooms share the player base.
The software has been developed externally from Tribeca Tables and has a nice look and feel. VCBet has a focus on community feeling and low to mid-level stakes. Currently, only Texas Hold ‘em and Omaha games are available, but seven-card stud Hi and Hi-Lo will be added in the near future. There are both single and multi-table tournaments, which have the highest traffic on the site. There are lots of free rolls daily. Real money player statistics average 800-1100 for ring game players at peak hours, and 2700-3000 tournament players at peak hours. VCBet benefits from good features such as private tables, pot and no-limit ring games, live floor managers and multi-table tournaments. However, there are some let downs - lobby information does not include view flop percentage, no notes taking service, and the game variety at Victor Chandler Poker is not particularly extensive, with only Hold ‘em and Omaha Hi-Lo and High (available in both limit, pot-limit and the former in no-limit). Table stakes range from $0.05/$0.10 to $10/$20 and since recently also at $30/$60 and $50/$100 for approved players. There are both single and multi-table tournaments. Seven-card stud High and Hi-Lo will be added to the site in the future. The rake at Victor Chandler Poker is at the average of the industry. On limit tables up to $1/$2 there is a $1 maximum rake, on all other tables there is a maximum $3 rake. There is a ‘no flop - no drop’ policy for hands not reaching the flop. As you’d expect, the competition is quite soft at Victor Chandler Poker. There is live online and telephone support, as well as email support at Victor Chandler Poker. Deposit options include VISA, MasterCard, UK debit card (Delta, Switch, Solo), wire transfer. Cash out options include bank transfer and local cheques.
