Virgin Bet sister sites

Virgin Bet sister sites 2023

We appreciate you finding our website and coming to us for information about Virgin Bet sister sites – we’re just sorry that we don’t have any Virgin Bet sister sites to show you. That’s not because we don’t have access to them – it’s because they don’t exist. Virgin Bet is the only iGaming site owned and operated by the appropriately-named Virgin Bet Limited. This news probably comes as a surprise to those of you who were expecting to see Virgin Games here. As strange as it sounds, Virgin Games sister sites are operated by a totally different company – Gamesys Operations Limited, to be specific. Virgin Bet and Virgin Games share the same branding, but Virgin Games isn’t one of the Virgin Bet sister sites. Why would Virgin directly create one iGaming site and then licence its logo and name to another operator? Your guess is as good as ours.

Virgin Bet Information

Virgin Bet operator – Virgin Bet Limited

Here’s one of the most glaringly obvious statements we’re ever going to make on this website; Virgin Bet is one of the Virgin Group of companies, known worldwide and founded decades ago by Sir Richard Branson. Even if you’ve never interacted with Virgin Bet before today, you’ve definitely interacted with Virgin in some other way. Perhaps you’ve been aboard one of their planes or travelled on one of the company’s trains. Maybe you’ve been to a Virgin Active gym or stayed in a Virgin hotel. It’s possible that you’re even reading this on your Virgin mobile or on a device connected to the internet through Virgin Media. If you’re old enough, you might even remember drinking Virgin Cola or visiting a Virgin Megastore to buy your music, which might have been released by Virgin Records. You get the point. It’s one of the world’s biggest brands, and it’s everywhere.

Despite being licensed and approved by the core Virgin brand and mentioned on Virgin.com, the connection between Virgin and Virgin Bet is minimal. As a brand, Virgin Bet was launched as a licensed product by LiveScore in 2019, with Virgin Bet Limited created specifically to manage the website (hence the lack of Virgin Bet sister sites). Even that doesn’t tell the full story, though, because LiveScore is ultimately owned by the Anzo Group Limited, which also owns Roxor Gaming Limited. Anzo was founded in London in 2019 as a demerger from the Gamesys group of companies, which is another wrinkle in the tale. It’s a tangled web and one which we imagine Sir Richard Branson has very little to do with.

Virgin Bet Sister Sites Welcome Bonuses

Virgin Bet is a full-service iGaming site, by which we mean there’s a casino and a sportsbook here, plus plenty of other betting options. It sees sports betting as its prime order of business, though, which means the one and only welcome promotion that Virgin Bet offers is targeted at sports bettors. Casino fans aren’t missing out on much, though, as it’s not a massive promotion. The deal offers new players the chance to place a £10 bet and receive two £10 bets free of charge in return. The qualifying bet has to be placed within fourteen days of joining Virgin Bet, or the chance to claim the promotion is gone. Once granted, the two free £10 bet tokens remain valid for seven days, after which they expire and cannot be reclaimed whether they’ve been used or not.

Other Promotions

Continuing with the idea of sports betting being Virgin Bet’s raison d’etre, we’ll look at the site’s additional sports betting promotions first. There are two of them, starting with an offer of money back if a player bets on a horse to win, but it finishes second or third. This bonus can be claimed twice per day, but there’s a maximum reclaim value of £10 per bet. The refund is delivered as a free bet and must again be used within seven days. If horse racing is your thing, you’ll be pleased to know that Virgin Bet also pays extra places on selected races every day and operates a best-odds guarantee.

For sports fans who prefer to wager their money on footballing matters, there’s a free £5 bet for every £5 spent on the Virgin Bet Builder on Premier League fixtures, with the offer valid for the whole season. There’s a further £10 free bet on the cards for everyone who places at least two acca bets each week and spends £10 or more on the bet.

Players who’ve come to use the Virgin Bet casino aren’t totally forgotten by the site when it comes to promotions – it’s just that promotions related to the casino tend to have short shelf lives. There was an offer of five free spins for every £5 spent on Fishin’ Frenzy when we visited Virgin Bet to review it, but it was only valid for that weekend. We believe such offers are common, so there’s likely to be something similar there should you ever pay the site a visit. Virgin Bet also offers a daily “free to play” game called Search for the Phoenix, which gives away free spins on the Secrets of the Phoenix slots game for those who find success at it.

Top Games at Virgin Bet

We’ve said that Virgin Bet is dedicated to sports betting enough times now not to have to make the point again, although I suppose we just did. The sportsbook at this site is enormous, and you can rest assured that no matter which professional sport you want to place a wager on, you’ll find the option to do it here. Non-sporting matters like politics and entertainment are also covered. Putting that aside for a moment, let’s look at the top games inside the Virgin Bet casino.

Fishin’ Frenzy: The Big Splash: The UK online slots scene has been overloaded with fishing-themed slots so much in the past few years that we’re almost begging for the trend to stop, but if there’s room for one more anywhere, it’s within the franchise that started the trend. This sequel to the original Fishin’ Frenzy was released in April 2023, and it’s hard to see what it adds to the well-trodden formula. It’s played on a 5*3 grid, it has ten paylines, you win money by catching fish symbols, and the RTP is 95%. We don’t mean to be dismissive of the success of the formula, but we’ve seen it all before, and so have you.

Starburst: Speaking of slots that you’ve definitely seen before, here’s Starburst. When NetEnt first released Starburst over a decade ago, we imagine they were pretty happy with it. We don’t think they imagined that they’d just created the most popular online slots game in history, but who ever does? All we know is that the space-age allure of Starburst continues to entrance thousands of people all over the world every day and will probably still be doing so in another ten years. If we knew the precise reason for the slot’s enduring appeal, we’d be millionaires, but we suspect it has something to do with those hypnotic visuals and that simple sticky wild symbol. RTP in Starburst is 95%, and volatility is low.

Eye of Horus: Eye of Horus is a little like Fishin’ Frenzy in that it’s had a lot of sequels, and it’s like Starburst in that it’s getting a little long in the tooth. Eye of Horus hasn’t worn the passing years with quite the same degree of grace that Starburst has, though, and is starting to look a little rough around the edges compared to more modern Egyptian-themed slots, of which there are far too many. The graphics have never been the key to the appeal of Eye of Horus, though – that’s all down to the way that even the least valuable symbol in the base game can become a top payer during free spins because of the upgrades that happen. Volatility is average, and RTP is 96.31%.

Customer Support and Licensing

Should you ever find yourself in need of assistance at Virgin Bet, your customer support options are email or live chat. If you opt for live chat, be aware that you’ll have to navigate your way past a very persistent AI chatbot before you’re able to get through to a human. The email address for those who don’t want to bother with that is support@virginbet.com. Virgin Bet is owned and operated by Virgin Bet Limited, which holds UK Gambling Commission licence no. 54310. Virgin Bet Limited has no fines, suspensions or other regulatory actions on file with the UKGC.

Withdrawal Speed and Support

The range of approved withdrawal methods at Virgin Bet isn’t extensive, but there are enough options to get the job done. The site aims to process all withdrawal requests within 24 hours, after which you’re looking at a 1-3 working day wait if you’re using a debit card or up to five working days if you’ve asked for a bank transfer. Things move far faster if you’re using a PayPal account, as funds should clear instantly as soon as the request has been processed. There’s no support for other e-wallets, though.

Final Thoughts on Virgin Bet

For a brand as big, boisterous and famous as Virgin is, we’d expect Virgin Bet to have a lot more personality than it actually does. It’s a plain-looking website with a very serious tone, but don’t let that put you off the idea of using it. There’s a great deal of depth to the Virgin Bet sportsbook. What’s available in the casino is fair enough, even if it’s a little predictable. Even the chatbot is fairly intelligent, and it’s not often you can say that about a chatbot on an iGaming site. Virgin Bet isn’t a standout player, but it’s perfectly good at the job it does.

Virgin Bet Sister Sites Player Reviews

Here are the thoughts of your fellow players about Virgin Bet. The reviews are all real, but we’ve paraphrased them to keep them brief.

★★★★★
Virgin Bet commits fraud. I had £350 in my balance I wanted to withdraw and sent them my passport. They told me they were going to call me to go through some questions, but they never called, and I still can’t get my money. Anita, April 28th 2023. Source – Trustpilot.

★★★★★
What scammers Virgin Bet are. I left a note with some constructive feedback on the customer support I’d received, and they responded by banning my account. I was losing over and over anyway, several hundred pounds down in just a few months. Matt, April 26th 2023. Source – Trustpilot.

★★★★★
I don’t know what’s going on with Virgin Bet, but I’ve spent hundreds on slots at the Virgin Bet casino and never saw a bonus on a single game that I played in the whole time.WannBamm, April 20th 2023. Source – Trustpilot.

★★★★★
Virgin Bet punished me for asking for assistance. I was having technical issues with the website, so I sent a message to customer support. Their email response told me that I’m now banned from promotions and other offers, with no explanation as to why. I’ve tried to find out, but they won’t tell me.Christine, April 23rd 2023.

★★★★★
The information they advertise for their sign-up bonuses is incorrect. Don’t bother trying to take it up with customer support; they won’t give you any help because they’re useless.Joel, April 15th 2023. Source – Trustpilot.
