The thrill of real horse racing — now on your mobile. 22arc's Virtual Horse Racing offers a new race every minute, bet types ranging from Win to Trifecta, and instant payouts via bKash.
Virtual horse racing is a simulated race built with computer graphics, where the outcome of each race is determined by a certified Random Number Generator (RNG). There are no real horses or jockeys, but the experience mirrors the real thing — horses burst out of the gates, run side by side, and cross the finish line. On 22arc, you can watch the entire race in high-definition animation.
The biggest difference from real racing is frequency. Cheltenham in England hosts just a handful of meetings a year, but 22arc's virtual horse racing runs 24 hours a day — a new race every 3 minutes. You can place a bet and watch a race at 2 in the morning if you want.
Each race features 6 to 8 horses. You can view each horse's name, silk colors, jockey's name, and form guide. Odds are calculated based on each horse's statistical "strength" and historical performance. Favorites carry lower odds (e.g. 2/1), while outsiders offer higher odds (e.g. 20/1).
One of the highlights of virtual horse racing at 22arc is the variety of bet types on offer. It's not just about picking a winner — you can choose from over eight bet types including Win, Place, Each Way, Exacta, Quinella, and Trifecta. Each comes with its own risk and reward profile.
Before each race, you'll see a race card like this — showing the horse name, jockey, form, and odds all in one place.
The form guide shows results from the last 5 races, displayed left to right from oldest to most recent.
These bet types are available on 22arc's virtual horse racing.
| Bet Name | Win Condition | Example Payout | Risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| Win | Your horse must finish 1st | Based on odds (3/1 → ৳300) | Medium |
| Place | 1st, 2nd, or 3rd (in races with 6+ horses) | 1/4 of the Win Odds | Low |
| Each Way | Win + Place bets combined in one | Win pays double; Place-only pays the Place portion | Low-Medium |
| Exacta | Name the 1st and 2nd horse in the correct order | 8/1 to 50/1+ | High |
| Quinella | 1st & 2nd horse in any order | 5/1 to 25/1 | Medium-High |
| Trifecta | Name the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in the correct order | 50/1 to 500/1+ | Very High |
| Forecast | Pick 1st and 2nd in the exact order (Exacta — different format) | 10/1 to 80/1 | High |
| Reverse Forecast | Two horses finishing 1st and 2nd in any order | 6/1 to 35/1 | Medium-High |
* Payouts may vary depending on the odds and number of participants in each specific race.

Keep these tips in mind to enjoy your time on 22arc over the long run.
Before you start racing on 22arc, decide in your head the maximum you're willing to spend. Once you hit that limit, call it a day.
Get comfortable with Win bets before moving to Trifecta or Exacta. Spreading smaller stakes across more races beats placing one large single bet.
If you lose a race, don't try to "chase your losses" by staking more on the next one. Treat every race as a fresh start.
Each Way bets on horses at 5/1 or longer odds is a smart strategy — even if they don't win, a Place finish still returns something.
Decide early in the betting window to avoid last-minute rushes that could lead to backing the wrong horse.
Trifecta odds are long, but the payouts can be significant. Keep your stake small and treat it as part of the fun.
Real horse racing is one of the world's oldest sports. Events like Royal Ascot in England and the Kentucky Derby in Kentucky draw enormous crowds each year. Dhaka has its own horse racing heritage too. But real-world racing comes with limitations — races only happen on specific days, at specific venues.
22arc's virtual horse racing removes that barrier entirely. You can bet from anywhere, at any time, right from your mobile. One key difference to keep in mind, though — real racing involves many external factors you can analyse: the jockey's experience, track conditions, the horse's physical form. In virtual racing, it's purely the RNG at work — there's no room for external analysis.
Virtual racing is best treated as pure entertainment — not a game of skill. 22arc is upfront about this distinction so players can set the right expectations before they play.
There is one area where virtual racing actually has an edge over the real thing — safety. No risk of injury to horse or jockey. It's entirely computer-simulated.
Virtual Horse Racing first gained commercial popularity in the UK during the 1990s, when betting shops would broadcast races on large screens. It gradually moved online from there.
Early on, the animations were basic — simple 2D horses running side by side. Now, modern platforms like 22arc use high-quality 3D graphics that realistically render muscle movement, jockey posture, and even track dust.
Advances in RNG technology have also boosted the credibility of the game. RNG audits are now far more rigorous than before — third-party auditors run regular checks to confirm that favourite horses aren't winning at an artificially inflated rate.
With smartphones becoming increasingly widespread in Bangladesh, virtual racing is growing in popularity. 22arc uses technology that works seamlessly across all devices to meet this demand.
