Gamesys Partners With SBTech To Launch Virgin Bet In The UK
Gamesys has launched a brand new sports betting website in the UK.
The games developer and casino operator, who also owns Virgin Games and other sites, launched the new website this week in collaboration with SBTech, a sports betting supplier.
According to reports, the new website is powered by the SBTech platform and uses the Virgin brand. It allows users to wager on sports games such as football, horse racing, tennis, cricket, American football, basketball, baseball, eSports, chess and more. Users can also wager on special events such as the US 2020 Election and the next UK General Election.
At the time, however, Virgin Bet is only available through its mobile website or through the dedicated Android mobile app. The site states that an iOS mobile app will be available soon, along with the full desktop website launch.
A representative for Virgin Bet informed us that the iOS app will be released over the next week while the team expects the desktop website to launch over the next three months.
