FAQs

Why can’t I bet on Portman Park/Steepledowns/Sprint Valley online?

In short, we don’t know. Most likely it’s to do with licensing and usage rights. Unfortunately, this means the only way you can bet on these courses is down your local bookie.

Why do all of the bookmakers feature different racecourses?

Virtual horse racing is provided to the bookmakers by suppliers such as Playtech, Inspired or SIS. This means, often, the underlying technology is being used by multiple bookmakers. However, each bookmaker has the choice to customise their own racecourse names and horse names.

What about other virtual sports?

Other virtual sports, such as Greyhounds, Football & Tennis are also regularly featured at UK bookmakers. Currently, here at BetVirtual.co we only feature horse racing.

Which bookmaker is the best for virtual horse racing?

This depends on your choices - would you rather bet online or in a shop? Do you prefer betting on flat races or jump races? Do you want on-demand virtual races or scheduled races? BetVirtual is working on detailed bookmaker reviews to help you out - coming soon!

Are there any offers available?

Yes, if you bet online, you can get free bets and welcome offers when you join the bookmakers. See bookmaker offers here.
