Betting In-play at BetVictor Reviewed in Full

One restriction is a smaller number of bet types that are available for cash out. Cash out is a vital function to many live betting fans, so it would be good to see it get a little more attention here. While betting options are a little more limited on the whole, there are also some interesting bet types that only arise in-play, usually for bigger fixtures. Once in the BetVictor in-play arena, the user can toggle between currently live and upcoming events. The platform isn’t the smoothest to navigate between fixtures since there is no main overview platform. Rather, you’re taken straight to the interface for a particular feature, when entering the BetVictor live betting platform. This means that the other events are listed in a small column down the left hand side of the page, which is suboptimal for both navigation and visual purposes. While the platform is visually pleasing on the whole, navigation around it is not the smoothest.

Limited Live-streams

Ultimately, this is an area where BetVictor lost some crucial points in the main review since it only offers live-streams for horse racing and no other sports. The horse racing coverage does make up for it somewhat however. All UK, Ireland, South Africa and UAE races are available to be streamed, but a bet of at least £1 is required to be placed upon a selection, in order to stream a race. This puts the bookmaker at a great disadvantage in this area compared to bookies such as Coral who have a huge live-stream collection across many different sports. Since live-streaming is limited to paid events here, the streaming box becomes available in a new window, rather than being integrated into the BetVictor in-play betting platform. The function works well, with a good level of clarity and the ability to alter the size of the video. So, the live-streams that are available are great and supported by good functionality, but with just one sport available to be streamed, the bookmaker lags severely behind the competition in this area.

Extra Info: Live Scores and Statistics

Since there are no live-streams outside of horse racing, punters are forced to rely on the match infographic to determine what’s the best in-play bet to make. The infographic itself is good, but the statistics, especially for smaller fixtures, are fairly limited. For many footballing fixtures for example, there are just the number of corners and cards displayed alongside the score. This is insufficient information for successful live betting. It would be very useful to have more information, such as the amount of possession each team have had in football.

There’s also a results service here that gives the results of fixtures for a few sports, that punters can use to check form and previous recent results. The sports available are football, horse racing, tennis, golf and greyhound racing, which is a little limited. The service is also limited in the amount of time its results go back to, which is just one week. However, these are the only two negatives about the results service. Aesthetically, it looks superb and navigation around it is made simple. The statistics are also very in-depth and really help towards checking form and making winning in-play bets based on the information. With football for example, it shows the form of each competing team over the last six matches, the two teams head to head record, as well as league form over the last ten matches. There’s also information designed to help with specific bet types, such as the amount of times the teams have scored over a certain number of goals, or how often they are winning or losing at half time. The statistics portion of the service is comprehensive then, so it’s a shame that the feature cannot check results further back in time. Though with such a high level of detail, this is somewhat understandable.

No Live Betting Offer

As with many other bookies, there is no dedicated live offer on this sportsbook. Nevertheless, BetVictor’s welcome bonus, is a decent alternative and one you can utilise to the fullest. Read the T&Cs before taking part.

Conclusion – Best In-play Football Odds & Great Betting Markets

A consistently strong performer through all of our tests, BetVictor makes no mistake when it comes to live betting. A super slick platform, great market coverage and the best in-play football odds of any betting site, make this bookie a great in-play possibility. The horse racing streams are some of the best around, with full UK, Irish, South African and UAE races offered. There’s also one of the most stylish and detailed results services around, though it is also a little limited. On the whole then, BetVictor’s in-play feature is not perfect, but many aspects are right up there with the best.

But that’s not to say that it isn’t without its faults in this area. The cash out markets are a little limited and with live-streams available for just one sport, those who like to watch while their bets play out, will probably head elsewhere. To view bets outside of horse racing I can recommend the excellent live-streaming service at Coral.

How can I live-stream horse racing at BetVictor?

Live-streaming at BetVictor requires that a bet be placed upon an event for it to be streamed. So, to live-stream a horse race, you’ll have to bet at least £1 on a horse competing in that particular race. Once the bet is confirmed, then you’ll be able to click the TV icon next to the race, which will launch the event in a pop up window. Make sure to open the live-stream before the event has started.
