Full review of Victor Chandler Poker
Summary (5.88)
(Note - US citizens are not allowed to play!) Global bookmaker firm Victor Chandler has made a serious entry into the online poker industry. They are 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. Victor Chandler network has a focus on community feeling and low to mid level stakes. Currently, only Texas Holdem and Omaha games are accommodated, but within shortly seven-card stud Hi and Hi-Lo will be added. 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 - July 2005: 800-1100 ring game players at peak hours, 2700-3000 tournament players at peak hours. Special bonus deal via PokersListings - you get a special sign-on bonus of 25% up to $150 (at max $600 deposit). Note: you will need to enter the bonus code "listings2" at sign-up - it is not automatic!
Software and graphics (5)
Victor Chandler Poker software is developed by Tribeca Tables, with nice graphics and good functionality. On the positive side, there are features like; buddy list function, private tables, pot- and no-limit ring games, live floor managers, overall nice graphics and multi-table tournaments. However, there are some let downs; lobby information does not include view flop percentage, no notes taking service, only Holdem and Omaha games.

The Victor Chandler Poker network currently has 800-1100 ring game players at peak hours.
Tournament traffic (6)
The traffic at the tournaments is better than at ring games, currently with 2700-3300 players at peak hours.
Game variety (3)
The game variety at Victor Chandler Poker is not so good, with only Holdem and Omaha Hi-Lo and High (available in both limit, pot-limit and the former in no-limit). Table stakes are 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. Within shortly seven-card stud High and Hi-Lo will be added.
Rake (5)
The rake at Victor Chandler Poker is at the average of the industry. On limit tables up to $1/$2 there is a $1 max rake, on all other tables there is a max $3 rake. There is a "no flop - no drop" policy for hands not reaching the flop.
Soft competition (8)
The competition is quite soft at Victor Chandler Poker, thanks to the clientele from Victor Chandler sportsbook and substantial marketing efforts of the Tribeca Tables network. There are not many high stakes games though, so for "hourly win rate hunters" the site is good, but not excellent.
Sign up bonus (7)

At the site it is not clear exactly how the action points are awarded, but it is stated that extra points awarded for betting in pots.
Loyalty bonus (6)
Yes "action points", which are redeemable for various products. The available points from a raked pot will be distributed to all participating players on a pro-rate (percentage) basis.

Support (8)
There is live online and telephone support, as well as email support at Victor Chandler Poker.
Financial security (10)
