Virgin Bet pros and cons 

There are no shortage of positives to point out on the Virgin Bet experience, as you would expect, but also some areas in which the overall product can be improved upon. On the table below, we have listed our four favourite things about Virgin Bet and a couple of ‘can do betters’ for future reference. 

What features does Virgin Bet offer?

In order to attract and retain customers Virgin Bet strives to offer a complete online gambling service, constantly evolving to maintain pace with market trends in terms of markets and bets available.

They are doing an excellent job of this in the opinion of the Racing Post content team and, below, we unveil some of their standout features on web and mobile app.

Bonuses

Bonuses are, and should be, a key factor in where punters opt to place their money. The marketplace is awash with options now and it is important to get the most value. As such, a strong welcome offer for new customers is vital but – more so – it’s of utmost importance that existing and long-term customers are valued.

Virgin Bet excels in both categories. The welcome offer allows up to £20 in free bets (tokens) for all new sign-ups. Once you have used these you can also expect to find offers, free bets, enhanced odds and best odds guaranteed. 

Weekly Acca Offer

For so many weekend warrior punters, acca betting is key, especially when it comes to football at the weekends. With Virgin Bet, acca betting is rewarded. Place two £10 acca and you will get a third for free within the seven-day qualifying period! This offer is open to all new and existing customers with Virgin Bet and, even more encouragingly, it can be used repeatedly after each qualifying period passes. 

Live Racing

If horse racing is your thing, you need never miss another race that you’ve bet on. Virgin Bet offers live UK and international horse racing allowing you to see every horse, every race, from start to finish throughout the big horse racing festivals, including the Grand National and Cheltenham.

You don’t even have to have a bet in a race to watch it live – all you need is money in your account to start streaming any available live sport on the Virgin Bet website or app. 

Virgin Bet products 

As you would expect, Virgin Bet uses cutting edge technology to ensure the best user-experience. Customers can access via mobile app or website and have instant access to every major sporting event – and so much more – at their fingertips.

There’s also a handy Live Sports section to bring you straight into the events and markets happening right now. 

Betting with Virgin Bet 

All new customers can avail of the welcome sign-up offer. Bookmakers that are keen to attract customers will offer a pleasing sign-up offer and, in that regard, Virgin Bet have hit the target.

Virgin Bet Customer service 

Queries are something punters will run into from time to time and the best way to get them resolved is a fast and efficient customer service offering.
