VIRTUAL BETTING
Some of you may have noticed that online betting sites really try to diversify the services they deliver. Among others one product has managed to gain a lot of attention and be used by many bettors nowadays - virtual betting.
Virtual betting or virtual sports is a way of betting like with normal sports betting, but as the name suggest it's something virtual, therefore the games you bet on are not real. This could sound pretty weird and many people would thing "This is like a casino game, why is this not in the casino section?". One reason could be that virtual betting, unlike sports games from casino sections are more advanced, they have more betting options, they have animations (or simulations of the events) which are very similar to real sports.
Overall, unlike a normal game, virtual sports has the capability of attracting more users. Let's take a look at some of top online bookmakers which have virtual betting:
Bet365 delivers "Virtual Sports" in the sports section. They do not have separate category for this type of betting. You can bet on virtual horse racing, greyhounds, motors, soccer, cycling and tennis 24/7. Events have animated simulations and up to 7 betting markets.
BetVictor has a section called "Virtual Sports" where you can bet on virtual dog racing, horse racing, football, tennis, speedway, motor racing and cycling. As you can see, the offer is bigger than on Bet365.
William Hill has a different section called "Virtual" where there's a simple platform, unlike the platforms from Bet365 and BetVictor. You can bet on greyhounds, flat racing, jump racing, football, speedway, cycling, motorracing.
Coral has a section called "Virtuals", which contains a good looking platform with sports like horse racing, greyhounds, football, tennis, motorsports, speedway and cycling.
PaddyPower has a section called "Virtuals" with 6 sports, many betting markets and really nice animations. Usually, you need to wait about 2 minutes for a new game to start.
As you can see there are many top online betting sites which deliver virtual betting on nice and good looking platforms. Unfortunately, the number of sports you can bet on is quite limited and the same with all brands, basically the focus is on horse racing, dog racing, football and motorsports. However, this type of betting can be quite fun and can give you a really good alternative when there are no real live sporting events to bet on late in the night.
