Victor Chandler has managed to get an online gambling license from the South African Government just in time for the World Cup.
With South Africa set to host the largest sporting event in world next year, Victor Chandler's licensed presence in the country could prove very lucrative. The online sports betting operator is wasting no time in leveraging the benefits of this newly acquired license, setting up offices in Cape Town and launching dedicated world cup mini-website with game fixtures and live odds.
Michael Carlton, Victor Chandler CEO said of the new license:
'The Victor Chandler brand fits perfectly with the South African market. Alongside offering a South African-specific website to customers, we will also be creating numerous employment opportunities. We are really proud to be involved in a country where sport is so entrenched in its culture. I will be investing locally over the next few months in order to launch our full range sports betting service in time for the World Cup'
The South African government only recently enacted online gambling legislation and earlier this year sent a delegation from the National Gambling Board to spend time with Antigua's FSRC with the aim of bedding down their own online gambling regulations.
