Virgin Bet are the new kids in town and they’re certainly making an impact with a wide range of promotions on show in their bid to win the affection of returning customers.
Virgin Bet Fives
The most popular promotion you can find on this betting site has to be Virgin Bet Fives which is a free to play game that spices up the biggest football matches while giving you a chance to win free cash to bet with.
Each day, log in to your Virgin Bet account to reveal a player. Typically this will be spread between Monday and Friday, with a total of five players to reveal. Then cheer your picks on in their next match in the knowledge you’ll receive a cash prize for every goal they score.
Virgin horse racing offers for existing customers
If Virgin Bet Fives is targeted mainly at football fans, existing Virgin Bet customers who bet on racing know they’re also catered for.
Virgin Bet Best Odds Guaranteed
Virgin Bet Best Odds Guaranteed (BOG) gives the assurance of being paid out at the starting price if those odds are bigger than the price you took. So if you placed your bet at 8/1, but the horse went on to win at 12/1, you’ll receive your winnings at 12/1.
The Virgin Bet Best Odds Guaranteed time starts from 10am on the day of racing, so it isn’t as early as some betting sites. However, the promotion does apply across all UK and Irish racing so you don’t have to worry about certain meetings not being eligible for the offer.
Virgin Bet Extra Places
On top of Best Odds Guaranteed, existing customers at Virgin Bet can also benefit from extra places on a wide range of horse races each day. Each-way terms will be marked clearly on Virgin’s site so it’s easy to see where the promotion applies.
Throw in live streaming on not just UK and Irish racing but also meetings in the US, France and South Africa and you’ll see there’s plenty to make Virgin Bet your regular betting site for horse racing.

UK Bookmaker Awards 2023 – How Virgin Bet ranked
The UK Bookmaker Awards take place on an annual basis, organised by leading digital sports media group Better Collective. The primary aim is to provide bettors with impartial advice as to who the best betting sites are in a variety of categories. We’ve already seen that Virgin Bet offer their existing customers a plethora of generous promotions but it turns out there are more areas where Virgin Bet excel when compared to many of their rivals. Here’s some of their highlights from the 2023 UK Bookmaker Awards.
Customer service – 1st
Having the security of knowing you can speak to someone in customer service is very important to many people, especially in an online environment, so it’s good to see such a strong performance from Virgin Bet here. They offer existing Virgin Bet customers 24/7 Live Chat and email support, so you’re never too far from a helping hand.
Market selection – 5th
The growth of bet builders has led to many people betting on markets that they’d never touched before. The UK Bookmaker Awards ranked Virgin Bet in the top 5, which is a good sign you won’t be short of choice. On top of the more traditional markets, Virgin Bet provide odds on shots, assists and cards, so there’s plenty to get stuck into.
Banking – 13th
Virgin Bet have kept their minimum deposit limit to just £5 so it doesn’t have to cost much to start betting there. They’re also open to PayPal, Trustly and bank withdrawals so there’s more than enough options for Virgin Bet customers when it comes to banking.
Welcome bonus – 8th
The UK Bookmaker Awards took into account the size of the opening deposit, complexity of the offer, and plenty more, ultimately concluding the Virgin Bet sign-up offer is amongst the most appealing on the market. The fact you only need to place a qualifying bet at odds of 1/2 certainly helps Virgin Bet stand out from their rivals in this area.
