2021 Virtual Grand National Betting 

Since the real-life Grand National has been cancelled due to COVID-19 pandemic, this year's edition will be run virtually. The virtual race will be broadcast by ITV at 17:00 BST on Saturday April 4th – the same day the actual race was scheduled to run.

A group of major gambling operators  have announced that they will donate any profits from this Saturday’s virtual Grand National event to the UK’s National Health Service (NHS). In addition, the Tote will run a pool on the race and donate any profits to charity. Of course, anyone placing winning bets will be paid but bookmakers do not want to be seen to profit at such a sensitive time.

The funds will be sent to NHS Charities Together, the umbrella organisation that represents more than 140 approved NHS charities.

The bookmakers have also confirmed that stakes on the virtual horse racing event would be limited to £10 per horse per customer or £10 each way per horse.

In agreement with the UK Gambling commission the race has been pre-recorded by production company Carm productions on behalf of ITV. Only a small number of people will know the outcome - all of who will be subject to strict confidentiality obligations. Meanwhile no licensed betting operator will be party to the result in line with strict gambling regulations.
