Since 1995 when Victor Chandler first opened a tax-free betting operation in Gibraltar, and 1999 when all account operations were moved there, growth and expansion have been swift and conspicuously successful. The company is already the biggest private employer there, has spent more than £10 million on its infrastructure, attracts more than 150,000 customers worldwide and in 2001 could boast a monthly turnover in excess of £50 million. Customers range from those who enjoy a relatively small gamble on their favourite TV sport to some of the biggest players in the world. The range of betting opportunities offered them and the volume of bets taken daily is enormous, and these are backed by the world's most sophisticated and comprehensive online operating system with a dedicated multilingual team of staff.

Betting and gaming opportunities offered around the world cover all major sports including football, horse racing, golf, greyhound racing, rugby, cricket, snooker, NFL, NHL, NBA, college football and baseball. In addition, VCI launched its first online casino in 2001 - The Spin Room - and plans to launch 12 new gaming products worldwide by mid-2002. The group's operations are all supported by considerable investments made in leading-edge technology, some of the most experienced business managers in the industry and a wealth of creative talent.
