How to adjust and work with the bet365 live streaming

[Pmalek]

Bet365 is one of the biggest bookmakers in the world. Although it is not a crypto sportsbook/casino, many gamblers use it even on this forum. One of its best features is the live streaming. Depending on where you are from, you can view a wide range of sports and leagues. From football, basketball, ice hockey, greyhounds, horse racing, to Esports, and much more. If you are into sports betting, their live streaming offers players a chance to watch many matches live.

The problem with bet365 is that they keep changing their layout and find new ways to 'hide' their live streaming feature. A few seasons ago, the streaming was so fast, that it was a few seconds ahead of many sports channels on satellite and cable for many leagues. They have adjusted this delay, and now you will rarely find a stream that will give you a significant advantage.

After their most recent update, it is no longer possible to open a separate window for the live streams by logging in and clicking on Extra from the top of the page and clicking on Live Streaming.

As you can see, the feature has been removed:



That is why I have decided to create this quick guide with pictures and step-by-step instructions on how to activate, adjust the size, and work with the live streaming on bet365. For those who have never used bet365, in order to watch their streams, you need to register an account, deposit money into it, and for some sports, make a bet on the match you want to live stream. But in most cases, betting on the match is not needed. In my experience, wagering is only needed for horse racing and greyhound races.


1.
Once you are logged in, click on the In-Play button at the top. You can then browse through the various sports that are currently played (not all of them have live streams) or click on the Streaming button to get a list of matches with available live streams. From the available matches, select the one you want to watch be either clicking on the correct match or the small play buttons highlighted on the right.



2.

To activate the live streaming for your match, click on the highlighted Play button.



3.

The streaming window is very small, but we can make it bigger. Click on the highlighted button to open a new window just for the streaming.



4.

A new window will open that we can work with. For the next step, you need to use Mozilla Firefox. I haven't been able to find the same feature on Chrome. When the new window opens, stop the streaming and wait a little bit. You will notice that a new button appears at the bottom right on the stream. Click on it to activate picture-in-picture mode.



5.

You will now see something like this:



You can now adjust the size of the streaming window, move it around your screen, and make it fit together with other tabs and programs you have running.

If you are using multiple computer screens, you can extend your desktop and move the streaming window on one screen and leave the bet365 match centre on the other.



SUGGESTION

To skip steps 3-5, there is an add-on that you can install for both Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox that will maximize a video to cover the full screen with just one click. The add-on is called Maximize Video and you can add it to your browser from the following links:

Chrome -  https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/maximize-video/bfpkgjlnboeecjmnbhbknmemmckmpomb?hl=en
Firefox - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/maximize-video/

If you want to search for it yourself, just enter 'Maximize Video' in your search engine and you will come across the same links.


After you started the live stream as explained in step #2, you can click on the Maximize Video button in your browser as highlighted below. You will notice that the video on screen will be selected and highlighted in red. Just click anywhere in the video and it will be automatically adjusted for full screen.





Enjoy!

That is a good guide regarding the live streaming in bet365,I used to bet there but have stopped betting.I liked their streaming of all kind of rare events but nowadays there are websites that stream almost every game that is played.Unless you always bet on a rare Championship or a really low division there is no advantage of bet365 stream over other stream channels.

[ReiMomo]

It's a nice guide, just wonder though why they are trying to hide the watch stream feature of the Bet365 site.

Just to make it clear to anyone that you cant watch the live stream if you didn't place a bet, actually, watching a stream on bet365 isn't free. To watch it for free you need to fund your account in order to access the live streaming feature.

Alternatively, there are too many stream channels that have free to watch.

Bet365 has the best streams I have ever come across. There are no ads, no need to download weird extensions, plugins, or software. It's basically a click and play kind of service. The streams are of good quality and they don't lag or freeze. Of course, you need a stable Internet connection. I really don't think you will be able to find similar quality on any of the free sites that offer sports streaming. If there are any, I would be interested in checking them out.

About the leagues they cover. You are right about the fact that they have a large number of streams for lower leagues. But don't forget they are also streaming the German Bundesliga, Spanish Primera, Italian Serie a, French La Ligue, etc.

This is just perfect. I have been struggling the other day on how to navigate the site with their new layout, but decided to give it up since I cannot really figure it out. It’s just too bad that I am not a tech savvy and do not have enough patience to try to figure it out. Thank you for sharing this, attaching images to instructions are so much better.

[freedomgo]

Thanks for the tip mate, I'm happy that I was able to access the site although I'm not really playing on this site. The famous streaming site that I'm using which is http://crackstreams.com/ is currently down, I don't know what happen but I can't find a site that offers a free live streaming, so I will certainly try this.

I think the website was ban, they have a http://crackstreams.net/ now but it's hard to load the video, probably this one will be ban soon.

I'm currently exploring the site, I saw there's a live streaming for NBA, I click the streaming link but there's a prompt that I need to log in, so I have to create an account now.

they just change the .com to .net but the rest of the name are verry simillar to the other , you dont need to wonder why the new one will also soon got banned . if they smart they can just make a new totally different site name to prolong the life of the streaming site .

nice info . didnt knew that streaming service on this site is paid but i think thats how a live stream work  . there are even pay per view sites and live streaming service . this can also be the reason why sites that offers free streaming service are being shutdown because they are illegal .

[Pmalek]

I saw there's a live streaming for NBA, I click the streaming link but there's a prompt that I need to log in, so I have to create an account now. 

Yes, bet365 streams NBA matches but you have to register an account and deposit some money in it.

You aren't paying for the live streaming service per se. The streams are mean for players and gamblers on bet365. To be a player, you need to have funds in your account. But you don't need to wager money regularly. Once a year, maybe. The streams are free.

I actually tried to register, and it requires you to deposit money, I can't even find my country in the list, lol... so I guess, I will not be able to use this free streaming.  Crackstream.net is working but it's not loading well though my connection is good.

[madnessteat]

Thank you for the detailed instructions. Before, I had to watch live broadcasts wherever I had to and very often not in the best quality and with constant interruptions. I will definitely test this service, as it really looks cool.

If you just want to use Bet365 for the live streaming, you can register an account and choose a different country for the time being; then deposit some money using f.e. paysafecard. Afaik they don't KYC you right away, but be prepared that your deposit is lost, if you can't pass it. Minimum deposit should be something around $10, so it's not a bad deal for all the streaming they offer.

[Pmalek]

tyKiwanuka is correct regarding the KYC. Eventually you will have to pass KYC which includes address verification as well. When I did it a few years ago, they sent me a letter to my address with a code attached. The code has to be entered in your profile to complete the verification. The minimum deposits depend on the payment method used. I used Neteller back in the day when I created my account. The minimum deposit was €20, so make sure you check their site, read the FAQs, etc., to be familiar with the deposit requirements.

@freedomgo
You could try with a VPN or enter a different country during the registration process. They are pretty strict when it comes to VPN usage, and a few VPNs I have tested can't load the site at all.

[ethereumhunter]

I think watching live streaming needs a good internet connection so you do not get into trouble for the lag of the streaming. With the television channel available in many countries, that can help people who do not have a good internet connection can watch directly from their television.

If that site needs to fill KYC, I think that will depend on people themselves, whether they will still use that site to bet or search for the other gambling site.

And for VPN, if they are strict about using VPN, maybe searching for the other betting site will be a good idea. But if people still want to know more about the site, they can directly visit and register on that site.

Is this legal?
I know the gambling website is legal but how about the streaming?
There are policies that cannot be streamed without authority or you will need to pay more if you will use it for a different purpose.
Just asking.
We all want to watch live stream sports games but that means taking out profits from sports management, right?
If it is, damn I will sign up too.   That might save me some money and rather gamble it.

[fiulpro]

Would be extremely helpful for people who are good at gambling and at the same time who might be benefited from the live streaming. You won't just earn but also get recognition. This is real helpful. I do believe that most of the people like me didn't really know about nowhere the features was hidden lol. Thanks.
But one question* if this makes their site more popular why do they try and hide it ?*
If you want to actually do but you don't have any options you can just use screen recorder just in case, it's free and it works wonders.
Gambling site is legal ofc and I do think streaming should be too since most people playing video games etc...they do it every second. It is really really common. The laws will ultimately depend on where you live.

I think that they are legal, this would never go unnoticed for far too long. I also found a blog that says that their livestream is legal, the blog says that it is free although it is a 2019 article. I think that paying more for betting is justifiable in their case because most games are pay-per view and they are livestreaming it for free. To be honest, some policies are not that sharpened enough to be always enforced, like a hydra, trying to cut of the head of one only sprouts two more so the authorities might have grown tired of repeat offenders, they might be enforced for a year but some of them lose sheen as time goes by.

[Mauser]

That's awesome, thank you for this guide. I am a huge fan of sports and don't even bet so much lately. So even without betting having a chance to watch sport events live is great. You could probably save money when cancelling the sky sports subscription and just switch to a free provider. Is there a minimum you need to bet per month to have access to the stream?

[Pmalek]

You could probably save money when cancelling the sky sports subscription and just switch to a free provider.

Are you talking about Sky Sports UK? That wouldn't work. Bet365 wont let you stream matches played in your own country/region. So if you are based in the UK, you wont be able to stream UK sports. I guess that is the deal they made with local providers precisely so that people don't cancel their TV subscriptions and start watching bet365 streams. Besides that, the English Premier League is not streamed live. I have seen Championship matches in the list. There are also lower leagues and cup competitions.

Is there a minimum you need to bet per month to have access to the stream?

I am not sure how it is in your country. It might be different for everyone. I assume you need to make an opening bet. After that, you need to make a bet at least once a year. I no longer use bet365 for my betting needs. But they send me an email every year informing me that my account will get locked if it's no longer being used. To prevent that, I just make a small bet and everything is back to normal.

[freedomgo]

Another good advise, thank you for that, I'm okay with $10, I can manage if I loss that amount as long as I can watch a live streaming.

@freedomgo

This might help during the registration or to keep my IP different, but I'm afraid my internet connection will become slow when I used a VPN.
I tried VPN before and I drag my internet speed and we know live streaming requires good internet connection.

he wants free access to live streaming but he ask if how much is the needed amount of bets before he can continue to watch .

that wont be free if he do that but bet365 isnt free because they ask for those terms to meet before someone starts using their stream service but why it will not be the same for other country .

they can restrict other country to use their service but why will allowed countries need to pay differently to others .
