If you are looking beyond the usual experience of sports betting and casino, and want to freshen up your betting routine, Betway has designed an immersive Virtuals lobby where you can bet on virtual games. In these Virtuals, the events are very short (2-5 minutes) and hence you can make large winnings within a short period of time.
Virtual Sports is a betting platform for online sports betting where virtual events are available 24/7. These virtual sport events and their bets are settled instantaneously and gives bettors a chance to bet when normal sports events are not taking place.
The Betway Virtuals lobby has Virtual sports which are computer generated graphic games that are based on real life sports such as football, horse racing, car racing and etc. These games appear real but are actually produced by an operating system. All the outcomes of the Virtuals are derived by using Random Number Generator (RNG) or through algorithms that are quite advanced. These are well regulated to maintain integrity of the outcomes.
