Virtual Sports at MyWinners bring the thrill of racing and sports betting to your screen any time of day. They look and feel like real sporting events, but the results are determined instantly through advanced computer simulations powered by real-world pari-mutuel data. This means every result is fair, randomised, and regulated — with the same betting structure you’d find at a live racetrack.
❗ NOTE: These games are currently not available in Connecticut.
What Are Virtual Sports?
Virtual Sports are computer-generated versions of real-life sports such as horse racing, greyhound racing, and motorsports. They use realistic 3D graphics, authentic commentary, and actual racing statistics to recreate the excitement of live competition. While the action happens virtually, the betting system is the same as real pari-mutuel wagering — you bet into a shared pool with other players, and payouts depend on the total pool size and number of winners.
Why Do We Have Virtual Sports at MyWinners?
Not every player wants to wait for the next live race card or sporting event to begin. Virtual Sports fill that gap by running events every few minutes, 24/7, so there’s always something to bet on. They’re also a great way for players to try new bet types, test strategies, or simply enjoy a quick, exciting wager without committing to a full race day schedule.
MyWinners offers Virtual Sports to give our players:
Constant Action – No waiting around for the next live event.
Familiar Betting Formats – If you know how to bet on live racing, you’ll know how to bet here.
A Training Ground – Perfect for learning the ropes before moving on to live races.
How Does Virtual Sports Betting Work?
When you enter a Virtual Sports event on MyWinners, you’ll see a list of competitors, their betting odds, and key information like To Win %, Payoff, and Pool. You place bets exactly as you would in live pari-mutuel wagering:
Choose Your Event – Pick from the list of upcoming virtual races or matches.
Select a Bet Type – Win, Place, Show, or exact position bets like First 2.
Set Your Stake – Decide how much to wager.
Watch the Event – The race runs in a matter of seconds, complete with commentary and graphics.
Collect Your Winnings – Payouts are calculated from the shared betting pool and credited instantly to your account.
The odds in Virtual Sports shift as more bets are placed, just like live pari-mutuel betting.
Why Should I Bet on Virtual Sports?
Speed – Results are available in minutes, so you can place more bets in less time.
Availability – Ideal for filling in gaps between live events.
Authenticity – Lifelike graphics and commentary make the action feel real.
Fairness – Results are based on a randomised, regulated system with no house advantage in payouts.
For some players, Virtual Sports are a fast-paced alternative to live betting. For others, they’re a way to practice and refine strategies before committing larger stakes on live events.
