Virgin Bet Fives Explained





Virgin Bet FIVES is an exciting promotion which adds a little interest to the weekend’s football fixtures. Completely free to play, the offer gives you the chance to assemble a five-man squad over the course of the week, and earn a cash prize for every goal a member of your squad scores in the weekend’s games.

There aren’t too many promotions out there which provide the opportunity to earn something for nothing, which automatically makes this offer worth a look. Here we explain exactly how it works, and answer some of the most commonly asked questions.

How to play Virgin Bet FIVES?

In order to take part in the game, you simply need to log in to your Virgin Bet account from 1pm each day from Monday to Friday and navigate to the Virgin Bet FIVES section of the site. You will be able to reveal a total of five randomly selected players to join your squad over the course of the week, with one player available in each of the following windows.

  • Window 1 - Monday 13:00 – Tuesday 13:00
  • Window 2 - Tuesday 13:00 – Wednesday 13:00
  • Window 3 - Wednesday 13:00 – Thursday 13:00
  • Window 4 - Thursday 13:00 – Friday 13:00
  • Window 5 - Friday 13:00 – Saturday 13:00

When you reveal a player, you will be given a card featuring the player’s name and number, and the fixture that will count towards the promotion.

Having revealed your final player in Window 5, a prize wheel will spin to reveal the cash amount you will win for each goal scored by a member of your squad. Prizes range from 10p per goal all the way up to a very healthy £50 per goal.

With your squad and prize values revealed, all that is left for you to do is sit back, relax, and hope that your five-man squad have their shooting boots on. And look out for the goals multiplier bonus, which may be added to the promotion. This boost can see your winnings greatly increased – particularly if you have been awarded the maximum of £50 per goal.

FAQs

What happens if I miss a player reveal window?

Unfortunately, you will miss out on adding that player to your squad. Players are only available during the windows specified above.

Do I Still Qualify for Prizes if I Reveal Fewer than Five Players?

Yes. Any player you reveal during an allocated window will be eligible for the promotion. Even if you only remember to reveal one player over the course of the week, you will still receive a cash prize if that player scores in the listed game. Of course, you stand a far better chance if you log into your account every day and collect all five players.

What Happens if I Miss Window 5 and the Chance to Spin the Prize Wheel?

If you miss the final window, you will miss out on adding the fifth player to your squad. However, you will still be able to find your prize per goal information simply by logging in and heading to the Virgin Bet FIVES area.

What Happens If One of My Players Doesn’t Play?

Unfortunately, this is simply bad luck. Virgin Bet selects players from a pool of players expected to take part in the weekend’s games, but if one of your players doesn’t line up, they will not be replaced.

When Will I Receive My Winnings?

Virgin Bet aims to credit cash to the winning accounts within a few minutes of the goal being scored or, at the latest, within three hours of the final whistle.

Can I Withdraw My Winnings?

Yes. Cash prizes are immediately available for withdrawal and have no turnover requirements.

Why Are All of My Revealed Players Defenders?

If you end up with a squad of five central defenders, this is again simply unlucky – although defenders do score sometimes. Virgin Bet randomly selects players from a pool containing defenders, midfielders, and strikers. Given this random selection process, some squads will naturally be stronger than others.

Can I Keep My Squad for More than one week?

No. All FIVES Squads are available only for one set of weekend fixtures. Following the conclusion of those games, the squads will be reset and you will need to start revealing a new squad from Monday.
