Life can get in the way of live sports sometimes, there just isn't enough time in the day to properly enjoy each and every sporting event as we'd like, this is where live streaming with online bookmakers can be extremely useful for bettors.
Online Betting Sites with live streaming bring the game and its latest odds straight to your mobile device. Live streaming sports and events with a bookmaker can give you access to almost every live sporting event in the world at your fingertips.
Not every Bookmaker has live streaming, so it's very important to know in advance of signing up to a new account whether you can watch live sports on the go or not. With this in mind, our team of experts have listed all of the live streaming bookmakers in the United Kingdom on this page, as well as explain how a modern day bettor can maximise their in-play betting potential and strategy.
Most online bookmakers will offer live sports streaming to some degree, but some are definitely better than others. Some events are streamed far more often, with Horse Racing being the most popular, and the likes of the English Premier League being streamed the least frequently. It's important to know which of the best streaming online bookmakers show the most sports so we've listed some of the best bookmakers who offer this service and what they specialise in.

Bet365 offer an incredible amount of sports betting to stream and seem to be the best when it comes to the variety of sports you can watch on the go, and apart from horse racing where you will have to place a minimum bet of £1 to watch, all you need to watch most sports is to have funds in your account. They currently offer a plethora of events such as Football, Horse Racing, Tennis, Basketball, Snooker, Darts, Cricket betting and Squash, and really there is very few events you actually can't watch with them.
In 2020 Bet365 exclusively obtained the rights for the FA Cup, this meant that certain matches were only available to watch on their website, which was completely unprecedented as it was the first time an online betting site had exclusive rights to a major sporting event in the UK
BetVictor specialise in horse racing and greyhound racing when it comes to streaming. A customer will have log in and place a minimum bet of £1 to watch a race, but BetVictor do offer a fantastic variety of horse racing to bet and watch. BetVictor live stream all UK and Ireland horse racing as well as other jurisdictions such as Australia, the United States, South Africa and the United Arab Emirates.
BetVictor also let you watch replays of all UK and Ireland racing covered by AtTheRaces, completely free of charge, which is an impressive feature and will allow horse racing bettors to increase their knowledge on a particular race.
888Sport is another bookmaker who predominantly focus on horse racing and greyhound racing, but in 2020 they also made the move to stream every German Bundesliga match which offered a unique offering to bettors.
888Sport stream the action from every racecourse and greyhound track in Britain and Ireland, including the likes of Royal Ascot, the Cheltenham Festival and Glorious Goodwood. US, French and Australian racing is also available to stream.
Coral somewhat specialise in live sport streaming and they show up to 100,000 live events a year, with about 2000 on offer every week. Similar to Bet365, most sporting events are free as long as you have funds in your account. Coral also offer a multi view service where customers can watch more than one event at once, which is brilliant for punters who have a bet on more than one match at any given time.
Their Horse Racing product is very strong and races from the UK, Ireland and pretty much anywhere in the world can be watched if you've placed a bet of £1.
SportNation, a relatively new bookmaker, offer streaming for greyhound racing from every racecourse in the UK & Ireland, as well as international horse racing.
Similar to other bookmakers you will have to place a qualifying bet to watch each race, but you can watch the majority of top class racing from most racecourses in the world.
Streaming sport is becoming a must-have for online punters as the ability to watch and bet on the go is becoming more and more important. Some bookmakers offer just horse racing to stream, while others offer literally thousands of events to watch each and every week. If you want to stream a plethora of events, knowing what events bookmakers offer in advance is extremely important.
There are plenty of other bookmakers who offer live streaming to varying degrees and you can find these on the below table.

With the vast majority of online bookmakers out there offering live streaming, you could really start applying some serious betting strategy. For example, you could sign up for multiple accounts to take full advantage of all the various odds and prices offered by each sportsbook.
It may be a good idea to open a few online betting accounts to really increase your opportunities to rake in the potential winnings. You don’t necessarily have to bet through a bookie to get access to the live streaming betting site to watch the sport you’re looking for.
So, you could possibly use just one account to watch the event and open accounts with other bookmakers that are offering the better odds, prices and special offerings. For example, some bookmakers have a cash out feature, which is a great option to use while live-streaming and placing bets.

We have previously put together an In-Play betting strategy article which can aid your decision making when betting on live streamed events.
Live streaming brings sporting events right to your device. This means that whether you are at home or on the go, customers are able to access the vast majority of sporting events through their device. Other benefits of streaming include the ability to watch a higher number of events than you even could on TV and the ability to track and potentially cash out bets in-play.
With most bookmakers you will need a flash or HTML5 based system to be able to actually watch the events as this generally is the service these websites use to stream their events. Sometimes you may also need to have a flash plugin installed in your browser.
This can depend on numerous factors such as your internet speed, the actual provider of the stream and whether your device has the right software to comfortably stream a live event. If these are all ok, then you should be able to watch any sporting event in a relatively high quality.
Yes as long as these devices have the correct software, which the majority of modern day technology do, then you should have very little issues in streaming live sports across any android, iOS, Windows device.
Yes and no. The physical streaming of events will not cost any money per se, but you will generally have to have funds in your account to watch a live event. Horse Racing can differ from this and apart from Paddy Power, who allow you to stream horse racing events as long as you have a funded account, you will have to stake a minimum bet to watch a race.
Yes, UK licensed online bookmakers buy the rights to stream live sporting events so this is completely legal.
Naturally for streaming to work for you efficiently you will need to ensure that your broadband, 4g or 3g is readily available. To combat this some operators do offer low resolution streams that can run as low as 128kb/s, but this is obviously not as satisfactory as watching the events in a higher quality.
