VICTOR CHANDLER LAUNCHES ASIAN ONLINE CASINO SITE

Macom teamwork bears fruit

Veteran Gibraltar-based betting group Victor Chandler has launched a dedicated Asian sportsbetting, casino and poker site branded vcbet88.com in association with Macau marketing and technology firm Macom. The site is in both traditional and simplified Chinese and is mainly targeted on that sector.

Ian Dunning, the operations director at the company says that the region is of major interest to VC and will generate considerable football betting business on the sportsbetting side.

Victor Chandler will provide the bookmaking and gaming expertise for the venture, and Macom will use its knowledge of the region and culture to provide marketing savvy.

"The site has been developed for Chinese people by Chinese people and we think this makes it the best Chinese site out there. It's different form our other sites as it is more focused on placing wagers, users can place bets direct on the home page with price movements visible from there, which is very important for Asian handicap" Dunning said.

Victor Chandler is also offering live dealer baccarat in order to cater for Chinese player demand for this form of Internet gambling in preference to random number generator games, Dunning revealed.

"We're confident the site will be a big part of our business. The Chinese market, both legal and illegal, is huge. We don't think ourselves or any other Western bookmaker has got it 100 percent right in the past but we believe we're well down the road to doing that" Dunning added.
