WHAT IS VIRTUAL SPORTS AND HOW DO I USE IT?
Virtual Sports is a selection of scheduled fixed odds games (events) that use a random number generator (RNG) to decide the outcome. All customers view the same schedules and the same outcomes.
All the events times presented in the video feed are UTC times. The time displayed in the Events Scheduler is always user preferred time.
Depending on your Internet connection there is the possibility that the video stream might appear with a delay. This is considered normal and acceptable behaviour.
For all prices presented in the video streams the Fractional display is used.
The outcomes cannot be influenced in any way by Betfair.
After the event has finished, the results are published and any bets on that event are settled. Results for past 3 months are available in the Results Centre and can be searched for.
Any winnings are credited to the customer's account. Details of a customer's bets are available in "My Bets".
We will be voiding all customer bets and return funds to customer account in the event of a technical problem with the Virtual Sports.
There is no Tricast betting available for Virtual Speedway racing.
Virtual Sports will comprise of the following products:
Scheduling: The Virtual Events for each sport will take place every 3 minutes; For Tennis the events will occur every 4 minutes.
WHAT MARKETS ARE AVAILABLE FOR BETTING ON VIRTUAL SPORTS?
HOW DO I PLACE A SINGLE BET?
First select the sport and then the event that you want to bet on. When you have chosen, click on the price and your selection will then automatically appear on your betslip.
Enter the amount you want to stake in the box provided, and your potential winnings will appear.
To place the bet click on 'Place Bets'.
HOW DO I PLACE A MULTIPLE BET?
Simply choose your selections as you would for a single, and the betslip will create your multiple. Then choose your bet type - double, treble, Trixie and so forth - then add your stake amount. Your potential winnings will appear.
If you are happy with your selection then click on 'Place Bets'.
WHY CAN'T I COMBINE MY VIRTUAL SELECTIONS WITH THE SPORTSBOOK SELECTIONS INTO THE SAME BETSLIP?
While you have a Sportsbook selection added in the betslip, you can no longer add Virtuals selections in the same betslip. The message "Virtual bets and sports bets cannot be combined in the same betslip. How would you like to continue?" will be displayed, along with the two options available: "Clear betslip and add Virtual bet" or "Keep current Sports bets".
WHY CAN'T I COMBINE ALL MY SINGLE SELECTIONS INTO A MULTIPLE SELECTION?
In some cases the message 'Betslip contains some related selections. Only unrelated multiples can be placed' will appear. This means that you have a bet selected as a singles which is not available for combination, or have selected one or more singles selections which have related contingencies. In this case you would need to remove one or more of the highlighted selections on your betslip by deselecting.
HOW CAN I CALCULATE MY BET RETURNS?
You will be shown a potential return (which will include your stake) against every single, for multiples, we show the potential return against the biggest accumulator.
