VIP Virtual Channels


BTC are please to announce that the service offering virtual content from Inspired Gaming Group is to be upgraded in January 2024. This will see a second VIP Racing channel introduced. The VIP Virtual service is available to all independent bookmakers in the UK and Ireland. This service uses the internet connection which all betting shops now have to provide Virtuals over IP, hence the name VIP.
How it works
A Player PC is installed in the shop and connected via a network cable to the local network. A suitable PC will be recommended based on the number of virtual channels to which a shop is subscribing. In addition to the Player PC a TV will be required for displaying each channel together with associated brackets and cabling. BTC will supply the Player PC and can arrange installation if required.
Revised Cost of The Service from 2nd March 2020
The cost for the supply of a 2 screen PC Player is £380+VAT, this is required when the subscription includes a virtual racing channel. The cost of a single screen PC Player is £150+VAT, this can be used for either VIP Bingo or VIP Roulette. The cost per shop of the Virtual channels as follows;
  • £18+VAT per week for one channel.
  • £26+VAT per week for two channels
  • £32+VAT per week for three channels
  • £37+VAT per week for four channels

This service can be supplied to any UK or Irish betting shop. Please note that VIP Roulette is presently only available in the Republic of Ireland. Arrangements for supply of data to different EPOS or tills systems can be investigated. For further information please contact: [email protected]
