Virgin Bet review: Bet £10 Get £30 in free bets and Each Way Your Way

Virgin Bet launched in 2019, built by Gamesys, and is now part of LiveScore Group, which moved it onto Kambi’s sportsbook platform in July 2024. It has quickly become a familiar name on British racecourses, with Jockey Club race series and sponsorships at Cheltenham, Goodwood, Aintree, Sandown and Chester.

For racing punters it does two things better than most: free streaming for any funded account, and Each Way Your Way, which lets you choose how many places you’re paid on.

The Virgin Bet welcome offer

Bet £10 Get £30

New members only. £10+ bet on sports (ex. virtuals) at 1.5 min odds, settled within 14 days. Free Bets: accepted in 7 days, valid 7 days; £20 use on sportsbook, £10 on Bet Builder. Stake not returned. T&Cs + deposit exclusions apply. Bet Responsibly. 18+. GambleAware.org

How the Virgin Bet offer works

Deposit at least £10 and place a £10 bet at odds of 1/2 or bigger that settles within 14 days of joining. Accept the free bets within seven days: £20 to use on the sportsbook, including racing, and two £5 Bet Builders. Pre-paid and virtual cards don’t qualify.

Key terms to check

Three time limits run side by side: 14 days for the qualifying bet to settle, seven days to accept the free bets, and seven more to use them. For a racing punter, the £20 sportsbook part is the useful half — it can go on single horses. The £10 in Bet Builders is better suited to football. As with every free bet on our list, the stake isn’t returned with your winnings.

Is Virgin Bet good for horse racing betting?

Yes, for anyone who bets often enough to qualify for its Best Odds Guaranteed. Its racing offer is built on flexibility and free pictures rather than a long list of promotions.

Each Way Your Way

Choose more places than the standard each-way terms, at a lower price — ideal in big-field handicaps, where a horse finishing fifth or sixth can still return something. It is the most flexible each-way option in our top 10.

Free live streaming

Any funded account can watch, with no stake needed. Pictures come from SIS. That makes Virgin Bet one of the cheapest ways to follow a full card: no qualifying bet on each race, just money in the account.

Virgin Bet Best Odds Guaranteed

BOG runs from 10am on UK and Irish win and each-way bets, up to £50,000 extra per customer per day. There is a condition: you need to have staked more than £25 in the previous seven days. International racing, free-bet stakes and Each Way Your Way bets are excluded. If you only bet occasionally, check you qualify before relying on it.

Money back on selected races

Selected races with seven or more runners carry money back as a free bet, up to £10.

Virgin Bet bet types

Win, each-way, ante-post and Each Way Your Way.

The Virgin Bet app

One of the best-rated racing apps in Britain: 4.7 out of 5 from around 19,000 UK App Store ratings. Streams, Each Way Your Way and the bet slip all work in the app on the same terms as the website.

What punters say about Virgin Bet

Trustpilot is harsher: 1.5 from around 4,000 reviews, citing account closures and long live-chat queues. A few reviewers report quick withdrawals.

Can you trust Virgin Bet?

Virgin Bet is licensed by the UK Gambling Commission through Virgin Bet Limited and owned by LiveScore Group, which also runs LiveScore Bet. The Gambling Commission’s register shows no regulatory action against its licence — a cleaner record than most of the established bookmakers in our top 10.

Safer gambling at Virgin Bet

Deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion are available, and Virgin Bet is part of GAMSTOP, which blocks you from every UK-licensed bookmaker at once.

Virgin Bet review: our verdict

A modern racing bookmaker with fair prices, the best each-way flexibility in our top 10 and free pictures. Bet regularly enough to qualify for BOG and it is a strong everyday account. Rating: 4.2/5.
