Virtual sports have their unique quirky charm—it’s like a hybrid of video gaming and traditional sports but with none of the waiting around for the next match. If you’re looking for something fast-paced and always available, Helabet’s virtual sports section offers a surprisingly comprehensive lineup. Here’s a closer look, with some of our personal experiences thrown in for good measure.
First Impressions: Straight to the Action
Imagine you’re browsing Helabet late at night, and all the big football games of the evening are over. What do you do in such a case? Why not head over to the virtual sports selection and take a chance on a Golden Race horse racing simulation? It is over in minutes, and you get all betting options as you would do with the real thing. The experience is seamless, quick, and, honestly, pretty entertaining.
That’s the thing about virtual sports on Helabet: there’s no downtime. Be it simulated football, motorbike racing, or basketball, something’s always on the run.
Virtual Sports Selection: More Than Just Football
Let’s get real: football is at the top of every virtual sports world. Well, Helabet mixes things up with a good enough variety to please different tastes; here’s what stood out:
- Golden Race
This section has everything from football leagues (like the England League On-Demand) to offbeat choices like speedway racing and motorbikes. The Euro Cup simulations add a touch of international flavor for football fans who just can’t wait for the real thing.
- Global Bet
Offers a broader range, including basketball and tennis, in addition to football. If you’re a multi-sport bettor, this section is worth a look.
- Virtuals 1X2
Utter football frenzy now, with competitions such as the Virtual Football Pro, Virtual Challenge Cup, and Virtual Euro Trophy.
What is great about this is that the games are not trying too hard to be realistic–they are simulations, and they are not shying away from it. Matches and races are fast, focused, and to the point, perfect for casual punters or those in a hurry.
Betting Markets: Simple yet Strategic
Virtual sports betting might not be as deep as live betting, but it is enough to give you something to chew on:
- Football Markets
Standard options such as 1X2, total goals, and correct score are available among a dozen other popular options.
- Racing Markets
For horse racing and greyhounds, it’s all about picking winners or predicting podium finishes. Simple, quick, and oddly addictive.
- Prop Bets
Occasionally, you’ll find quirky bets like predicting whether a race will go to a tie or which team will lead by halftime.
The simplicity is refreshing—you’re not overwhelmed by options, but there’s still enough variety to keep things interesting.
Why Virtual Sports Work for Kenyan Punters
In Kenya, where football betting reigns supreme, virtual sports offer a fresh alternative. Helabet’s inclusion of Kenyan Shillings (KES) as a currency makes it even more accessible for local punters.
And here’s the kicker: with simulations running 24/7, you’re never bound by a schedule. Whether it’s a lazy Sunday afternoon or a midweek evening, you’ll always find a match, race, or tournament to bet on.

With matches happening every few minutes, it’s easy to keep going. Set a budget to stay in control.

Sticking to football is fine, but exploring options like greyhound racing or motorbikes can add variety to your experience.
