Odibets has virtual games on their website for punters especially after European leagues were halted due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Virtual betting is a kind of betting availed by some bookies, in Kenya and the world, where customers can place bets on computer-generated games that function just like real matches with real teams and players.
The football matches are ‘real’ but much shorter, so you don’t have to wait for a whole 90 minutes for the match to end. The virtual matches usually take about two minutes each, but the winning value remains the same as those of actual matches and their odds.
A review on Odi League, for example, one can place their virtual bets on various markets just like they would on real sports bets.
Punters also have the opportunity to experience incredible deals with boosted odds. For instance, new clients get to receive a Sh20 bonus on their first bet on OdiLeague.
