What is Virtual Darts Betting?

Darts is one of Britain’s most beloved sporting exports. The everyman ease of a game all can play and few can master, filtered through a sports entertainment lens that marries the vaudeville glitz of WWE with the boisterous lairiness of 1am on a work’s Christmas do. 

But what if there’s no darts on? What then? Well my friends, perhaps you’d care to take in some Virtual Darts? All the fun of the Matchplay, but you don’t have to dress up as a banana or Barney Rubble.

Here is everything you need to know about how to bet on Virtual Darts with Betfred.

​​How does Virtual Darts work?

The game is branded as Rush Darts, with the virtual match taking place over one leg. This allows for more matches to bet on when compared to the real-life sport. 

Unlike most of our virtual games, which feature fictional teams, athletes, horses or dogs, Virtual Darts features virtual matches between players. Peter Manley, Dennis Priestley and Bob Anderson are just a few of the legends of the sport you will encounter playing Virtual Darts.

The players are real, but the outcomes are different each time. While the faces and throws are real, where the darts land, the scores and the outcomes are all simulated for a unique experience in each match. 

What markets can you bet on in Virtual Darts?

Those familiar with darts will recognise many of their favourite markets in its virtual equivalent. Our virtual game is known as Rush Darts and is played over the course of one leg, making for an exciting betting experience.

You can bet on the Leg Winner, over/unders on each player’s first three darts, whether there will be a 180 in the leg as well as winning doubles and checkouts. It’s all the fun of the darts, but in a rapid-fire format that sees new players take to our virtual oche every five minutes.

Is it fair?

Virtual Darts, as with all our virtual games, is completely fair. A third-party body rigorously checks our games, which are operated via a random number generator to ensure a fair result. 

A consequence of the game’s virtual nature is the fact there is no form guide to study. There are no real-life factors to base potential performance off. This gives Virtual Darts an element of pot-luck. 

It is a less detailed betting experience, but offers pick-up-and-play simplicity for the punter. You needn’t have an in-depth knowledge of the history of darts to play. While the players are real, the outcomes are simulated. Our Virtual Darts matches really could go either way.
