VIRTUAL SPORTSBOOK INTERNATIONAL is operated by Bet Horse Tracks who are fully licensed and regulated to operate worldwide. In late 1998 Bet Horse Tracks moved its very successful onshore operations to San Jose, Costa Rica (offshore). Bet Horse Tracks has become one of the favorite offshore gaming destinations for the online gambler with coverage of over 250 North American tracks. Wide betting limits although Bet VSI is more suitable for the mid to high rollers.

Professional English-speaking clerks, courteous client service representatives, fast-payouts, and advanced web technology have allowed Bet Horse Tracks to become one of the most popular offshore race books in a very short period of time.
