Full review of Victor Chandler Poker

Summary
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 - December 2004: 700-900 ring game players at peak hours, 1500-2200 tournament players at peak hours.

Software and graphics
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.
