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.
