Virgin Gaming lets you back yourself, with cash

Virgin Gaming has officially launched. But what is it? Quite simply, it's a console tournament platform, that allows you to compete for cash, points and prizes in an organised fashion. Whether you're booting around in ModNation Racers or kicking goals in FIFA 10, you can play for a share of 1 million dollars up for grabs in Virgin tournaments, or wager your own cash in individual challenges against other players.


One of the fantastic features of Virgin Gaming is their "Fair Play Guarantee" promise, which ensures your victories are rewarded with an "automatic results verification" system. How does it work? It's simple, and it's genius. Once you register your PSN ID or Xbox LIVE Gamertag, Virgin talks directly to those networks to find out who won.

Once you have your Gamertag or PSN ID added, you can go ahead and add your games and join the lobby for that game. You can create your own challenge with a custom dollar-figure for entry, or browse what others have organised and their respective entry costs. When you've paired up with a competitor, head on over to your console to battle it out for cash and glory.

Nicely done, Virgin. Nicely done indeed.
