The ability to watch live sports and racing on a bookmaker’s platform is a convenient perk, but new users may be unsure of the process.

Below is a straightforward guide on how to get started watching live streams in Australia.

How to watch live streams with bookmakers in Australia

1. Choose a Licensed Bookmaker: Look for reputable operators known for streaming your preferred sports or races.

Some leading bookmakers in Australia with live streaming services include:

2. Create an Account: Register and verify your age and identity. This is required by law for all betting platforms.

3. Deposit Funds: A small balance or recent bet often unlocks streaming features. This is not a subscription cost but a common requirement to activate the service.

4. Navigate to Live Streaming or In-Play: Once logged in, find the live betting or streaming section. The schedule of current and upcoming live events is typically displayed.

5. Select Your Event: Click the play icon or “Watch Live” button next to the match or race you want to watch. The video should begin shortly before the event start time.

6. Enjoy the Stream: You can often go full-screen and watch until the event concludes. Quality and commentary may vary by platform, but it’s generally reliable.

Troubleshooting

If the stream won’t load, ensure you’re logged in, have sufficient funds and have a stable internet connection.

Some streams may be subject to geo-restrictions or local broadcast rights, so not every event is guaranteed.

*To use the Live Streaming service you will need to be logged in and have a funded account or to have placed a bet in the last 24 hours. Note, under Australian law, Live Streaming on bet365 is exempt from Parts 3 and 4 of the Broadcasting Services (Online Content Service Provider Rules) 2018.
