What is Next for the Virtual Sports Betting Market in the UK?

Over the last couple of months, we have reviewed the different Virtual Sports betting options at two popular betting sites in the UK, 10Bet and Betway. What we have learned from this is that while Virtual Sports on different betting sites share many similarities, there are considerable differences between the quality of product on offer […]

10Bet Virtual Sports in Focus – Virtual Football

Last week I had a bit of a rant about 10Bets Virtual Greyhound service and the glitches I encountered when reviewing the product. I’m glad to report that those glitches seem to have been sorted on 10Bet now when I checked this week and you can now bet on the game again. However, now we […]

10Bet Virtual Sports in Focus – Virtual Greyhounds

If you have played Virtual Greyhounds at other providers such as bet365 or Betway then you will notice immediately, that 10Bet uses the same provider for their Virtual Greyhounds offerings (and indeed for all three of their Virtual Sports). Unlike the other sites which have seemingly invested a bit of time in personalising each of […]

10Bet Virtual Sports in Focus – Virtual Horse Racing

10Bet’s Virtual Sports service is a somewhat smaller offering than you would find with our other affiliated site Betway. There are just three different Virtual Sports on offer, Virtual Greyhounds, Virtual Football and the sport we are focusing on today, Virtual Horse Racing. It is clear that 10Bet’s approach to Virtual Sports has been to […]

Why Virtual Highlights are a Better Option Than Real Highlights in Virtual Soccer

At the moment in almost all Virtual Soccer games, and certainly the games that Betway and 10Bet have to offer, you will find that when it comes to the actual highlights of the game, these are software simulations generated by the computer. How while this is easier for developers to utilise in terms of their […]

Betway Virtual Sports in Focus Part Seven – Virtual Football

Although race games may be far easier to produce a virtual game on, that hasn’t stopped developers moving into the ‘game’ related market of virtual sports and the only game-based virtual sport you will find on Betway at the moment is the innovative Betway Virtual Football. Of course, there is a simple reason for this, […]

Betway Virtual Sports in Focus Part Six – Virtual Trotting

When it comes to the Virtual Sport that I think most people would be the most surprised to see in the list of events available, I think Virtual Trotting is likely to be the top of the list by a considerable margin. Partly due to the fact that Trotting as a sport hasn’t really taken […]

Betway Virtual Sports in Focus Part Five – Virtual Motor Racing

Of all the Virtual Sports, I think Virtual Motor Racing is the least satisfying in terms of it being an actual recreation of a real sporting event. It’s nothing to do with the graphics or sounds as such, but simply the fact that through necessity, the races are so short that it never really feels […]

Betway Virtual Sports in Focus Part Four – Virtual Cycling

Along with Virtual Speedway, Virtual Cycling is the Virtual Sport which is the most indistinguishable from the real thing once the race is underway. So good are the graphics on the game, that you do feel like you are watching an actual race from inside a velodrome. In terms of people actually betting on cycling […]

Betway Virtual Sports in Focus Part Three – Virtual Speedway

Virtual Speedway is arguably one of the most realistic of all the Virtual Sports. The way the race has been devised makes it look very similar to any of the Speedway meetings you would find shown live on television. Although perhaps not one of the biggest betting sports, Speedway is particularly suited to Virtual Sports […]
