I noticed over the weekend that some of my mates were able to watch live streams of football games and basketball matches from their betting apps. I've always used the Paddy Power app because I think they have the best prices and money back specials but can anyone tell me if I can watch sports via the Paddy Power mobile site also? Thanks
No, sadly PaddyPower customers cannot watch live sports from either the PaddyPower website or app. Here are the bookmaker apps we would recommend if you like to bet and watch. Bet365 were the pioneers of live streaming and their customers have been able to watch thousands of live sporting events every month for the past few years. If you're a fan of Italian, German, US or Spanish soccer then they're still your best option. FULL DETAILS HERE SkyBet have been making huge improvements to their tablet and phone apps over the past year, including adding live streams of tennis, football and NBA basketball. Unfortunately, the they only accept sports bettors from a limited number of countries, such as the UK and Ireland. Ladbrokes have undergone a remarkable transformation, going from possible the worst bookmaker app to placing in the top 3 within a year. The new Ladbrokes software looks great and lets you watch dozens of different sports every week from any iOS, Android or Windows Phone. FULL DETAILS HERE
Even though the Paddy Power app doesn't stream live sports, it is my favorite app for watching horse racing because they offer live racing from more countries than any other internet bookies. With PP Mobile you watch racing Dubai, South Africa and South America in addition to the usual UK/Ire racing.
even coral are live streaming soccer and basketball now from their mobile betting site so surely it's only a matter of time before paddy power start broadcasting sports other than horse racing.
Paddy Power probably feel that the market is a little crowded now when it comes to lives streaming. They may feel that their resources are better spent offering more promotions and offers. Live streaming thousands of sporting events every month must cost a fortune in bandwidth.
most of those streams are just crappy games for a belgium soccer league or something so i don't think they're a great loss.
Bet365 also stream live matches from the Spanish La Liga. The current Barcelona FC team with Messi and Suarez might be the greatest soccer team of all time so I think being able to watch those teams play for free is a pretty big bonus.
Paddy Power now live stream a range of soccer, football, tennis, golf, rugby and other major leagues in the Republic of Ireland, England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
