In virtual football betting, the outcome of a match is usually determined by a random number generator (RNG) that simulates the game's action. The RNG generates a sequence of random numbers that determines the outcome of each play, taking into account factors such as player abilities, form, and team tactics.

With virtual football, you can bet on the match results, under or over, a double chance or correct score. The event is then held, with some pretty good graphics being shown. You are not able to cash out any bets placed on virtual sports.
