Victor Chandler has become the first site to launch real-time online gaming site Passoker’s interesting offering. A deal between them was signed last year and after a painstaking development and testing process, its ready to go live. Passoker’s product allows live betting on what will happen next in live sporting events and other televised programmes. It works by placing players at tables, much like in poker, where they are awarded when certain things happen in the sport they’re watching. VC marketing director Karl Riley commented: “Maximising in-play is a key focus for our business, so we are very pleased to have launched Passoker on VictorChandler.com and we are excited by the product. There is no doubt that it is a unique offering in the marketplace, and we are delighted to be able to offer it first.”
Match of the Day, Coronation Street, EastEnders and Hollyoaks are all part of the initial offering available at VictorChandler.com. After winning the Start-Up LaunchPad at EiG last year, the product is undoubtedly a good one. There is a still a myriad of uncertainty surrounding certain aspects of he product. Betting on MotD when you already know the results is an interesting one. There are obviously a few bugs in the system as when we tried to play it came up with an http error.

We can expect an appearance from founder Fred Done who usually crops up at some point in all their advertising. He doesn’t half look like Alfred Hitchcock either.
