PP charging for streams now

Headshot

so went to watch a soccer stream there and now pp are asking for a positive account

**** off ye money grubbing *****

why do bookies do this ?

jive

mines still working and in the FAQs beside the player it says "Do I need to pay to watch?
This service is currently completely free of charge, but you do need to be registered and logged in to view the streams. "

if they do start charging just start watching over at bet365 or somewhere else i guess that does free streaming. odd of them to start charging though for stuff that they were doing for free for so long... i know they charge to watch horse racing but its not like they stream that many games a day as they would have to with horse racing

this is the 1 of many things pp will be doing to get back some of the revenue they will be losing this year,especially if the tax is introduced as they will be taking the hit,not us..

Headshot

what I ment by positive account is you have to have money in it to watch a stream

PP had my respect like that because they didnt follow the likes of bet365 and other doing this ****, but they can rightly **** off

Only for their insurebet, id be off in a shot

Im not sure why any other bookie doesnt do that kind of bet

brother worked for them before (summer job thingy),
he said that after about a month he new the winning punters at the horses and was able to go down to another bookies at his break had clean up,he met a new face every week which stood out,they would wonder around the bookie before going up to him when know 1 else was there and would throw down a couple of hundred e/w..
he made his weekly wage along with a couple of hundred on top each week.

im assuming thats one of the reasons..

Dirty bastards. I really have to stop using them. You get nothing back from them. Many times I've watched a game with nothing in my account and threw something in to have an in play bet (and lost I might add). **** them.

I thought it was the same with every bookie nowadays?

Its been like that with Betfair from the start, tbf they dont want freeloaders watching games and bringing down the connection with too much traffic (im not a fan of PP either, just saying)
