How to bet on Bet9ja Virtual Sports Games

Bet9ja is one of the few bookies in Nigeria whose portfolio includes the opportunity for betting on virtual sports which is one of the reasons it is considered as one of the most significant operator on the national market.

If who are not that familiar with the betting sphere – virtual bets are simulations of real sports which are represented on your screen via animation that quite much is similar to the well-known sport computer games.

The difference between the sport computer video games and the virtual sports in Bet9ja is that in virtual sports the punters do not control the players, but only watch what is happening on the playground. What you have as an option to do with this virtual sport betting activity is to place a bet on the final outcome of the match / contestant.

What actually controls the both teams is specially tailored software which is directed by the odds for the event – in other words, if for a certain team the odd is lower, then in a long-term this team will have more wins than the other team. However, all of these do not guarantee that in a single match this team is going to be on mandatory the winner – the luck plays the hugest role in this type of betting.

Virtual sports are liked by customers because of an entire row of benefits such as:

  • Entertainment – with the IT progress the level of virtual sports quality has increased a lot, so today they are quite close to the real sports look and this makes them extremely funny and interesting to the customers.
  • Succession – every single championship from any sport discipline has some pauses during the year, when there are no events. Yet, the case with the virtual sports isn’t the same as they never stop within the year. Championships and outcomes are continually running.
  • Dynamic – while any football match, for instance, lasts 90 minutes, a football match from the virtual sports category lasts about 3 minutes, which means that you will find out whether your bet is going to be successful faster.

Bet9ja Virtual Soccer / Football

Virtual soccer/football is the most popular virtual sport that is offered on this platform and not only here.

Virtual soccer/football represents one football championship with 16 teams where a new series of 8 matches start within each next 4-5 minutes. You can choose which one match to follow yourself. For instance, if you prefer matches between teams with equal chances to win or the opposite – matches where one of the team is a certain favorite, this option is going to be really useful for you.


For each of the matches you can place bets on more than 40 different markets that include the following markets: winner, correct score, handicap bets, number of scores, correct score for a half time and etc.

The only weak point of the virtual football here in this betting house is that the view of the match is broadcasted on a very small screen and unfortunately, you don’t have the option to increase it. This problem exists only on the computers, while if you place mobile bets you will get a quite pleasant view.

Bet9ja Virtual tennis

The virtual tennis simulates one tennis tournaments that starts from the second round before the final. This means that the number of the games at the same time depends on the phase that the tournament has reached. In other words, if the tournament is still in its beginning, then the number of the matches is going to be 8, while if we are on the final phase, you will have only match to bet on at your disposal. Yet, the playing time here is the same as the playing time in the virtual football – around 3-4 minutes per game and a new phase within the next 4-5 minutes.
