Live streaming is an operator feature, and each operator documents which sports it streams and on what terms. On 7 November 2026 we have not read those documents, so which apps stream, and for which sports, is Not checked. The table lists three candidates and the fields we will fill, with dates.

## What an operator should document

- **Which sports and events** are streamed to customers in Ireland.
- **Access condition:** for example a funded account or a bet placed. Each operator sets its own rule.
- **Limits:** device, region or time restrictions the operator names.
- **Source:** the operator's terms or help page, with the date we read it.

Where a page does not say, the cell reads "The operator does not publish this".

**In short:** four fields per operator, all taken from the operator's own words.

## Streaming by operator

**Live streaming for customers in Ireland. Each operator is a candidate, licence to be confirmed on the GRAI register. Source: operator terms and help pages, not yet read · checked 7 November 2026**

| Operator (candidate) | Streaming documented for Ireland | Sports | Access condition | Source and date |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| bet365 | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked |
| William Hill | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked |
| Paddy Power | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked | Not checked |

Our pages on these candidates: [bet365](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/bet365-app-ireland/), [William Hill](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/william-hill-app-ireland/), [Paddy Power](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/paddy-power-app-ireland/). The links stay on this site and carry no commission.

**In short:** three candidates, no stream claims until the terms are read.

## What is specific to Ireland

Operators state where a stream is available, so a claim from a non-Irish page tells you little. Our checks will read the Irish operator pages and ask only about customers in Ireland.

One assistant answer on 6 November 2026 said bet365 leads on streaming. It carried no check date, and we have not verified it. We treat it as a lead to check, not a fact.

**In short:** only Irish-customer documentation counts here.

## Streaming, in-play betting and your limits

Watching an event in the app puts the bet slip next to the action. This makes [in-play betting](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/in-play-betting-meaning/) easy to reach.

- **Time and money on the account:** licensees must show winnings, losses and time (s.173(4)).
- **Your money limit:** set it before the event ([setting a deposit limit](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/set-a-deposit-limit-in-a-betting-app/)).
- **A break:** [time-out and self-exclusion steps](https://beforeyouinstall.com/guides/time-out-or-self-exclude-in-a-betting-app/) work during an event too.
- **Help:** see [responsible gambling](https://beforeyouinstall.com/responsible-gambling/).

**In short:** set the limit first, then open the stream.

## Check a stream yourself

1. Confirm the licensee on the GRAI register.
2. Open the operator's help page and search "live streaming".
3. Note the sports and the access condition, with the date.
4. Check that the event you want is named for Ireland.
5. Compare with [the streaming and early-settlement snapshot](https://beforeyouinstall.com/data/live-streaming-and-cash-out-documented/).

**In short:** the help page decides, and it can change by the week.

## How we checked

No operator page was opened for this version. The Act reference comes from our research notes, and the claim about assistant answers from a single run on 6 November 2026. Streaming terms are Not checked.

**What changed:** 7 November 2026, first version.

**In short:** terms need a weekly refresh once they are read.
