But which betting sites offer live streaming? Which betting sites have the best live streaming service at the moment? And what do you need to do, to gain access to the betting sites live streaming?

The majority of betting sites today, require the customer to have money in his/her account or an active bet in order to stream a live match on their homepage. However, it is now possible to live stream, for example, football or ice hockey games from some of the best leagues in the world - even some matches that you wouldn’t be able to see on any other channel or service, even if you paid for them.

Today, betting sites offer you the opportunity to see matches and competitions from a selection of thousands of live events from their websites. You can, for example, live stream football from a number of Europe’s best leagues or follow a live stream ice-hockey match in the NHL or CHL. This service is a great way for companies to attract new customers as well as retain their old members, but the fact is that even if the betting sites run this service to earn money, you can still be a winner when it comes to live streaming.

Often, you only need a plus in your balance in order to get access to the live-streaming service and in return you get several thousands of matches that you can live stream. The majority of betting sites produce a weekly guide to help you keep track of what matches you can stream and when they are live. What sports and leagues are offered depends on what betting site you are using and we recommend that before you register at one, or a number of betting sites, you should know what each specific company offers for competitions/matches. Look for the sport or league you are interested in and create an account after that.

Betting sites select which matches are available to live stream in different ways, for example, with Bet365 you will see a small Play-symbol and with Unibet you should click on Unibet TV tab to see what matches you can live-stream.

As we mentioned above, the majority of betting sites offer some form of live streaming. The selection of events on offer, depends on which betting site you chose. To be able to find which league or sport that interests you, we have selected a list of betting sites below that we believe offer the best selection of live streams.

If you are a customer with Unibet, you have the opportunity to follow the best tennis players in the world play in the ATP tours, ice hockey games in the NHL, matches in the UFC/MMA, or a number of matches in the football leagues, such as, MLS, La Liga, Eredivisie or the Bundesliga.

You can follow the Champions League & Europa League qualifications, international friendlies and the African Cup of Nations, amongst others. You can also live-stream tennis, basketball, handball, volleyball and ice hockey.

In order to stream a game, you need to be logged into the betting site’s homepage, from a computer, mobile or tablet that is connected to the internet. You will need to have Adobe Flash Player and in some cases Java Script installed. When you live stream a game or competition, we recommend that you have access to a 3G or WIFI-connection, which will reduce the risk of bad picture quality or bad reception. Should your stream lag or stop during an event, you should try to restart your stream or the webpage. If the problem persists, you should check your internet connection and see if it is working as it should. In order to avoid complications with your live stream, your connection speed should be higher than 1MB/s. If you have a firewall active or another type of security program running at the same time, then this can reduce the quality of the stream, so if you experience problems with a stream always try switching off these programs.

If you are live streaming an event, you should keep in mind that the match/competition has a delay of around 5-10 seconds. The event you see is live but it comes with a minimal delay of around 5-10 seconds. The better your internet connection, the less delay your stream will have. It is therefore important that you have the live stream delay in mind when you are live betting on a match. For example, if you are following a football game on a live stream and you want to put a bet on which team will take the next corner, then you must be aware that you might not know exactly where on the pitch the ball is at that exact moment.
