Virtual online sports betting has grown in popularity in recent years. Here are five key things bettors need to know.
5 Things To Know About Virtual Sports Betting
What Are Virtual Sports?
Virtual sports betting is when wagers are placed on computer-simulated events. These events are run through specialised software with the outcomes decided by random number generators.
Games are played continuously, and results are provided quickly to ensure bettors are not left waiting for the outcome of their wager.

Why Is Virtual Sports Betting Popular?
Interest in virtual sports betting largely comes down to its accessibility and a lack of waiting time. Games begin every few minutes, 365 days per year at the BetMGM sportsbook.
Whereas real-world wagering requires live action to take place, meaning bettors are reliant on the schedule, virtual sports bets can be placed at any time of day.
Different Types of Virtual Sports Betting
Virtual soccer, virtual basketball, and virtual football are available at BetMGM. Bettors have similar markets available to real-world sports betting, with odds pre-determined by the random number generators.
When It’s Available
Virtual sports betting is available 24/7. Across the available sports at BetMGM, games are beginning every few minutes.
Availability is one of the main reasons people choose to bet on virtual sports. Its inherent randomness also means there’s no need for the in-depth research required before placing real-world bets.
Virtual Sports Responsible Gambling
Responsible gambling is important for virtual sports, just as it is for real-life sports betting. BetMGM provides an array of responsible gambling tools, including allowing bettors to set spending and time limits.
