BetVictor B2B, now operating under the corporate name BVGroup, is a Gibraltar-based online gambling operator and technology provider with origins dating back to 1946 when William Chandler founded a trackside bookmaking business at Walthamstow Greyhound Stadium. Over nearly eight decades, the company has evolved into a major independent gambling and technology group, owning the flagship BetVictor brand while expanding its B2B white-label and platform-as-a-service offerings through the proprietary BV:360 platform. BVGroup holds licences in multiple regulated markets including the UK and Gibraltar, employs over 750 staff and contractors, and serves nine branded partners alongside its direct-to-consumer business. In 2023 the group rebranded from BetVictor to BVGroup to signal its growing B2B focus, and in 2025 it reported 64 million sportsbook bets and 1.2 million active players, with B2C revenue growing at a compound annual rate of 32% over the previous five years. The company has been owned since 2014 by British businessman Michael Tabor, with Andreas Meinrad serving as CEO.
Detailed Review
History
BetVictor B2B (BVGroup) traces its roots to 1946, when William Chandler launched a bookmaking business at Walthamstow Greyhound Stadium. After William’s death, his sons Victor Sr. and Jack took over; Victor Sr. died in 1974, and his son Victor Chandler Jr. assumed control. In 1998 the headquarters moved to Gibraltar to avoid UK gambling taxes. The brand underwent several changes—VC Bet in 2004, reverting to Victor Chandler in 2008, and finally BetVictor in 2012. Michael Tabor acquired full ownership in 2014, and soon after the company began expanding its B2B capabilities.
Business Model and Products
The B2B offering centres on the BV:360 platform, a resilient, extensible betting and e‑Gaming engine that powers both the flagship BetVictor brand and partner white‑label sites. Through BV:360, partners gain access to a sportsbook covering 40+ sports with 5,000+ tournaments and leagues, and a casino aggregating 6,800+ slots from 100+ providers. The platform includes player‑account management, risk and trading tools, compliance systems, and real‑time analytics. BVGroup also operates several branded partner sites under white‑label agreements, including talkSPORT BET, Heart Bingo, BildBet, Parimatch UK, and Wiz Slots.
Partnerships and Market Position
Key partner brands launched under BVGroup’s B2B division include talkSPORT BET (August 2022 – UK sports betting in partnership with talkSPORT), Heart Bingo (September 2021 – UK bingo brand partnered with Global Media & Entertainment), BildBet (2020 – German sportsbook with BILD), Parimatch UK (2020 – white‑label provision for Parimatch’s UK market entry), and Wiz Slots (2023 – new slots‑focused brand). In 2023 the group formally rebranded its corporate entity to BVGroup, underlining its ambitions as a B2B technology provider. The company continues to invest in SaaS innovation and has recently entered new partnerships, such as the March 2025 agreement with Rhino Entertainment to launch a global sportsbook and casino brand.
Regulatory and Recent News
BVGroup holds licences in the UK (UK Gambling Commission), Gibraltar, and other regulated markets, and has faced periodic regulatory scrutiny—most notably a £2 million settlement with the UKGC in 2022 for AML and social responsibility failures, and an ASA ruling in 2023 over a Facebook ad. The company reported 64 million sportsbook bets taken in 2025 and 1.2 million active players across all markets, with a B2C revenue compound annual growth rate of 32% over the past five years.
