What virtual sports are

Virtual sports are animated, simulated events — football, racing, tennis and more — whose results are determined by a random number generator, not real competitors.

How betting works

You bet on the same kinds of markets as real sports — winners, handicaps, totals — before each short event runs.

Note. Because results are RNG-driven, past virtual events have no bearing on the next, unlike form in real sports.

Speed and availability

Virtual events run continuously and quickly, so there is always a market open. This speed makes limits especially important.

Virtual vs real sports

Real sports reward knowledge and form; virtual sports are pure chance driven by software. Treat them like any RNG game — see how RNG games work.
