The Group also sponsors the €110,000 the Grade 1 VCBet Champion Novice Hurdle at the Punchestown Festival as well as the VCPoker.ie Irish Professional Snooker Championships.
Said Turlough Lally, Marketing Manager of Victor Chandler Ireland; “The Irish market has been a great success for us to date and we hope that this second shop will help differentiate us in the Cork betting and gaming market. A retail outlet in the South gives us a physical shop presence to reinforce our already strong position on the racetrack, on the telephone and online with sports betting, poker and casino.”
