Ellos tuvieron una mejor oportunidad de éxito.
"they had a better chance to have more opportunities" --- I think this second sentence is too redundant. Chance and opportunities practically mean the samething here.
to have a better chance --- tener una mejor oportunidad.

tener una mejor oportunidad.
I've seen the word "casualidad" used for "chance". Could this be used in this context?

DR casualidad is more like coincidence . Azar, fate, casualidad, chance, look at these up so you can see how they are used and the meaning. - 0068e2f4, Nov 18, 2009

If you want to use it as: "They had a better chance at succeeding" then yes. Otherwise, as @robertico says, then it is redundant, just like in English.
Hope this helps!
