Live Streaming Matches - matches and fixtures live with bookmakers

The thing that often determines the choice of the given bookmaker is the possibility to view live broadcast of an event which we are interested in. An online streaming is a service which has been offered by online bookmakers for years now, but not every bookmaker has it in his offer. Nowadays punters have wide selection of websites at which they can watch live streams of desired events.

Live video streaming

What is live streaming?

Live streaming are platforms which allow transmission of video-broadcasting of the chosen sporting events. Real time video transmissions, are available at several online bookmakers, mainly at the most popular ones. This is the result of the fact    that these companies have to purchase sublicenses for transmission availability from operators of broadcasting stations. According to our information the following bookmakers offer live streaming: Unibet, SkyBet, Betfair, Paddy Power, William Hill, Ladbrokes, Bet Victor, Coral.

Live streaming - what will you need?

Before we get to the comparison of offers of Live streaming bookmakers it should be remembered what has to be done to view a transmission of the chosen sporting event.

  2. After opening an account you should login to it using your password.
  3. Some bookmakers also demand an input of money to the account or betting on the event we wish to watch live.
  4. The next demand of bookmaker companies is the purchase of a subscription for an important sporting event, for instance the Australian Open. This one is mandatory only at few bookmakers.
  5. After fulfilling the conditions you can enjoy live streaming.

Pluses and minuses

Concluding our review of bookmakers which offer live streaming of sporting events we decided to prepare all pluses and minuses of such offerings.

Pluses:

1)Access to the majority of sporting events beginning with football, basketball, tennis, volleyball, hockey and finishing with darts, snooker, cricket.
2)Possibility of placing bets observing the chosen match without limits.
3)Paradoxically the necessity to place money on the accounts is also a plus since it limits access of non-interested in sports betting players who overcrowd the system which affects the quality of transmission.

Minuses:

1)To be able to watch a match broadcast you have to open an account on the bookmaker site and sometimes place a bet on chosen event.
2)It is hard to view a match online on a mobile phone without strong internet connection.
3)Bookmakers often block the possibility of viewing events taking place in clients’ country which means that we cannot watch live matches of Bundesliga or handball. This happens because only 1-2 channels can have an exclusive right for transmission.

What should you remember about online sports betting with live streaming?

1.Some events are limited which leads to the fact that not all punters have access to live streaming:

  •     When you are not in the country of competition/matches
  •     When you are not in the country which takes part in the competition/match
  •     Some exceptions can occur for some territories because of the limitations.

2. Always remember to have the most recent version of video encoding software, e.g. Flash player - that way you're not risking sudden error when trying to watch desired match.

Remember:
No bookmaker is responsible for unsuccessful live betting for matches broadcasted on his site and in connection with this the punters are not paid any compensations.
