Whether it’s football on demand, horse races around the clock or even high‑speed motorbike duels, this guide shows you how to explore, bet and enjoy the widest range of thrills in ZMW.

Finding Your Way to Virtual Sports

From the top menu, hover over More and click Virtual Sports. You’ll be guided to a world map view if you pick Virtual Football Pro or a grid of provider logos—1x2Gaming, Pragmatic Play, Golden Race, Leap—each unlocking its own catalogue. A search bar lets you filter by country or toggle Popular Leagues. No downloads are needed—just pick your game and jump right in, knowing that you’re in control.

Virtual Football Pro: 1x2Gaming’s Fast‑Paced Matches

This is as close to live soccer as you can get without a stadium. Matches last around five minutes and stream simple animated graphics:

  • Country Selection
    Choose from dozens of nations on the world map. Each country runs its own league schedule in real time.
  • Markets
    1X2, Totals (Over/Under), Handicap, Correct Score and even Round‑by‑Round bets—every market you’d expect in real football.
  • Speed
    New kickoff every few minutes. Watch team lineups, in‑match stats and rapid goal graphics before the next fixture kicks off.

Zambian punters will appreciate the quick turnover, perfect for evenings when local leagues are off‑season.
