Virtual sports are exceptionally popular in countries such as Nigeria, Tanzania and Ghana, and have become popular in the UK and US markets as well. Betting sites in South Africa have never been permitted to offer betting on virtual sports before, but things have changed and you are now able to bet on virtual sports. The first betting site to launch with them are Supabets. This is great, as lately lots of new betting products have been launched in the market, including live games, JIKA, electronic soccer and Simulated Reality League.
So, what virtual sports does Supabets offer and how do they work?
You can place bets on England Premier League fixtures throughout the day. The games are not live and so you can play and bet on them whenever you want. The markets available to bet on include:
1X2
Double Chance
Goal/no goal
Correct score
Total Goals
Over/Under
Once you have made your bet selections, add the stake into the betslip and click “Start Match”. Each game only lasts a few minutes so you’ll know quickly if you won or lost.
The second soccer league available to play virtuals on, is the Champions League. This virtual league works the same as the EPL virtual league and has the same betting markets available.
For the virtual horse racing game, you can bet on either a 8 horse race or a 6 horse race. The betting markets available include:
Winner, Place (1-2), Show, Forecast, Quinella, Tricast, Even/Odd and Over/Under 3.5.
Once you have made your selections and they are added to your betslip, enter your stake and click “Start Race”
Want to bet on something racing other than horses? Why not try virtual camel racing? Like the virtual horse racing you can bet on either a 8 participant race, or a 6 participant race. The markets are also the same as per above.
Finding horse racing and camel racing too slow? As with the other virtual race games, you can choose between 6 and 8 participants to compete. The virtual betting markets are also the same as horse and camel racing.
In this virtual game, you are betting on the outcome of a draw, similar to Betgames. There are 1-49 balls that can be drawn and you are betting on a number of options, varying from the colours and numbers and combinations. The bets you can make include:
How many red, yellow or blue balls will be drawn
The winning colour (meaning the colour drawn with the highest number)
You can pick the numbers you think will be drawn
Anyone familiar with Betgames will enjoy playing Color-Color
Similar to a roulette game, with the same betting markets as roulette, such as Even/Odds and the actual numbers which the ball will land on.
Super6 is another virtual lottery type game where 10 balls are drawn from 1-48 options. You can bet on the what you think the first number will be, the last number, or predict what all the drawn balls will be (1-10).
