ABOUT VIRTUAL SPORTS
- Virtual Sports are computer-generated sporting events presented as animations.
- You can bet on their outcomes.
- Results are determined using a Random Number Generator (RNG).
PLACING A BET
- Choose a virtual event and a market, select your outcome and enter your stake.
- Review your selections, odds, total stake and potential return before placing your bet.
- Check the bet confirmation to see whether your bet has been accepted.
- Only markets and bet types available for the selected event can be chosen.
- Check the event details and any displayed betting limits before you bet.
HOW BETS ARE SETTLED
- Virtual racing bets are settled under the applicable horse-racing or greyhound-racing betting rules.
- Bets on other virtual sports are settled under the rules for the corresponding sport.
- Read the relevant betting rules alongside these Virtual Sports rules.
- Virtual Sports selections do not qualify for bonuses or consolations.
UNDERSTANDING RETURN TO PLAYER (RTP)
- Return to Player (RTP) is the theoretical percentage of total stakes returned to players over a very large number of bets.
- It is a long-term average, not a guarantee of what you will receive from a bet or a betting session.
- Your actual return may be higher or lower, and short sessions can vary substantially from the theoretical average.
- The tables on the following pages show the RTP figures supplied for each event type and market.
- The applicable RTP depends on the sport, market and, for racing, the number of runners.

Each way
- An each-way bet consists of two equal stakes: one on the selection to win and one on it to place.
- The place part uses the stated fraction of the win odds and the stated number of places.
- Example: a £1 each-way bet costs £2 in total, with £1 on the win part and £1 on the place part.
- A place fraction of 1/5 means the place odds are one fifth of the win odds.
- The applicable place terms are shown below.
