Virtual Racehorse Shatters On-line Auction Record

The highest price paid for a virtual racehorse made history last night when online trainer, Jonz79 successfully auctioned his cyber-colt, SilverBullet Jonz, for an unprecedented £2,500.

Paying £2,500 for a racehorse that doesn’t actually exist defies logic in the real world; unless of course you own a virtual horse on the Raceclubs game at www.getmintedmax.com, the world’s biggest and fastest growing, virtual horseracing community. The colt which originally cost £8 has already earned over £2,700 cash during its short but illustrious three month career. The hefty price-tag means another champion virtual racehorse for Andy Hargie Stables, who could easily recoup his investment ten-fold before retiring the iconic colt from competitive racing.

The opportunity to own a living, breathing racehorse remains a dream for many but the reality of cleaning its stable is quiet another!

Raceclubs on www.getmintedmax.com is a fantasy racing game that simulates the excitement of real-life racing where members can own and race virtual race-horses for real money. All the racing action takes place online against other trainers around the world. The idea of online racing elevates horseracing to a new dimension where a virtual victory translates into actual cash winnings which trainers can withdraw anytime they choose.

True to real-life, the online horseracing community can buy and sell their horses through the highly anticipated monthly auctions. Sellers can set a minimum reserve on their horses but the free-market economy prevails as ultimately the final selling price is determined by buyers who base their bids according to a horse’s racing history and potential earnings. The owners may be selling virtual horses but the prices they’re fetching are cash. Online bidding wars have escalated into thousands of dollars. Virtual horseracing is aggressive business and owning a champion horse can mean the difference of make or break for highly competitive stables,

Virtual horseracing is big business; and if a £2,500 price-tag seems excessive for a virtual racehorse then consider this – stable owners on Raceclubs have won almost £3,000,000 in stakes winnings over 5 years.

Driving the virtual horseracing phenomenon is Cashcade who offer the Raceclubs game as well as betting on these races at www.getmintedmax.com. Cashcade are also planning to soon broadcast the races across satellite television in the UK.

Virtual horseracing, like its real-life racing counterpart, offers the excitement, entertainment and prestige of horseracing. The trainers in this fantasy world are developing incredibly competitive racing strategies to gain championship titles and to generate serious profits.

Paying £2,500 for a thoroughbred virtual racehorse may now seem like a bargain.
