Virgin Bet VAR Payout Explained

Some of the most popular bets placed are on certain players to score one or more goals, and we have seen a greater attention to detail on these markets in recent years. For example, there is now E/W for first goalscorers, as well as markets for players to score or assist.

However, Virgin Bet has taken things a step further and now offers VAR insurance. If you select a player to score a goal, and said player has a goal ruled out by VAR, your selection will still be marked as a winner in single, multiple and bet builder bets.

The eligible markets for the promotion are to score first, to score at any time, to score at least 2/3/4 goals and to score or assist. Of course, the assist part of that market doesn't apply to the VAR promotion, only the score part.

It's a fantastic promotion for Premier League matches, and one that adds significant value to one of the best football bookmakers. Indeed, Virgin Bet also offers some other nice promotions for Premier League fixtures, like FIVES.

However, Virgin Bet has now confirmed that the promotion will be offered during the World Cup, which is a fantastic opportunity!

    Finally, enter your stake and place your bet. If there is no VAR involvement, it certainly removes some stress, but with this promotion, you just need your player to get the ball into the back of the net! Good luck!
