Football

We got our results by taking the "Match result" odds and also the over/under 2.5 goals odds for different matches in different football leagues. Getting the average results using this method, we were able to obtain the margins for each league and the overall betting margin for the bookmaker.

Virgin Bet has an overall average margin of 5.63% for football and falls in the average category. In the first section with Premier League and Championship, the margin is at 4.62%. The second section with Spanish La Liga and Italian Serie A, the margin is at 6.31%. Finally, taking matches from around the rest of the world into account, the margin is at 5.97%.

Additionally, it’s simple to find, as it is in the main part of the betting menu.

Live Streaming

Some events come with a live broadcast so that you can dive into the game itself while placing bets. In the UK, all events are free to watch. All you need is to have a funded account. The bookmaker has an extensive FAQ section which explains how to set up the live stream.

If you are looking for a solid choice of a bookmaker to bet with while on the go, or if you prefer mobile betting in general, you may want to try out Virgin Bet. It offers mobile apps for its casino and for sports betting available for Apple or Android.

The bookmaker has one of the smoothest and quickest registration processes of all the sites we have tested. It is relatively simple, and it should take you no more than 2-3 minutes to complete.

1. When you enter the bookmaker’s website from your browser, you will find yourself looking at the main menu page. In the top right corner, you’ll notice the buttons for “Log In” and “Join Now.” To start the sign-up process, select “Join Now” and continue to the next stage.

2. At this moment, you should see a small pop-up window in the middle of your screen. It should contain fields where you will need to insert the following: your name and surname (copying directly from your ID document of choice), your date of birth, and your gender. Enter this information and click “Continue.”

3. The next page will require some further personal details. At this stage of the process, you will have to enter an active email address and your phone number. Then you should enter your current postcode and select the remaining details of your address from the drop-down menu. Click “Continue” and proceed to the next stage.

4. The final step of the process is to set up and personalise your account. You will need to choose a unique username, followed by a secure password. You will then be able to select whether or not to set a deposit limit, and if you do, you will be able to pick the amount and the period for it. Tick the box that confirms your compliance with the terms and conditions. Then your account will be ready.

Depositing funds into your Virgin Bet account is relatively straightforward. Before you attempt to do so, remember to verify your account.

1. The first thing you will need to do is go to the deposit menu. You can easily do this by navigating to the top right-hand side of your screen, around the “Account” area. You will notice a transparent button named “Deposit” sitting on top of it. Select it and continue to the next stage.

2. Now, you will have to select the payment method you want to use to deposit funds. Sadly, the options are limited to the following: Bank card (Visa/Mastercard) and PayPal. Once you have picked the payment channel, you will need to select the payment amount. You will notice that the minimum sum you can deposit is £10. Once you have done that, proceed to the next stage.

3. The final stage is simple; you will need to provide your payment information. If you have selected the bank card option, type in your card number, your name as it appears on the card, the expiry date, and the CVC—once done, press “Deposit” at the bottom of the screen. The money should arrive on your profile instantly. Then you are ready to start betting.

Betting on Virgin Bet is a great experience. As soon as you have created your profile and deposited funds, you are ready to start placing your very first bets. 

1. To access the betting menu, all you need to do is click the “Home” button located on the left side of your screen. Then you will see the betting menu at its fullest. Here, you will find everything you need to start making sports bets. The middle section of your screen presents to you featured events, with games about to happen today. The sport selected by default is football.

2. The next step is to select the sport you want to place a bet on. As we already mentioned, the default one will be football, but you can navigate to the second drop-down menu on the left with the list of sports. Once you have selected your sport, it will change the central area of your screen. For this example, we will be continuing with football. Choose a game and click on the betting market, then proceed.

3. You will notice that the game and the market you have chosen are now on the right side of your screen, in the betting slip. You will find all the other available betting markets after clicking on the slip. Choose any additional markets you would like to bet on and proceed to the next stage.

4. All the markets you have selected will be transferred in the betting slip on the right. Once you are satisfied with the bets you are going to place, select a payment amount you can afford to lose. Finally, click “Place Bets”, and your bets will placed.

Once you have registered and deposited funds, you are able to take advantage of the withdrawal methods and processes.

1. The first step in the withdrawal process is as follows. Navigate to the top right-hand side of your screen and click on the account area icon. Once you are on it, you will notice some “Quick Links”, among which you will see “Withdraw”. Select it and proceed to the next stage.

2. After clicking the “Withdraw” button, you will be presented with some options regarding the withdrawal methods. Unfortunately, the only available methods to withdraw funds are using a bank card (Visa/ Mastercard) or PayPal. After selecting the payment methods, proceed to the next stage.

3. Once you have selected the payment method, you will be required to fill in the corresponding details. If you are using a bank card, carefully fill out all the information required. Afterwards, select the withdrawal amount, which needs to be at least £10. Click on “Withdraw”, and the funds will be with you in 3 days at most.

The live chat function is really easy to use and very well-developed. You’ll initially be greeted by a chatbot, but if the bot cannot solve your issue, a member of staff will reach out to you. We received a response relatively quickly and did not have to wait more than two minutes. 

Apart from its amazing sportsbook, Virgin Bet also has various casino options. Simply navigate to the left of your screen on the main menu and select ‘Casino’ to see all the options.
