_ Bet365 have recently revamped their mobile betting application for iPhones and iPads. Besides a new and improved layout, the latest version of the Bet365 betting app allows Bet365 customers watch live streams of many sporting events from their mobile device.
The new Bet365 app has been designed to allow users easily place bets while simultaneously watching live sporting action on their iPhone or iPad. Bet365 will be broadcasting a wide variety of sports including soccer, basketball, tennis, darts, cricket, Handball, Water Polo, Volleyball and many more.
The most impressive aspect of the new Bet365 mobile streaming service is that you don’t need to place a bet on a specific sporting event in order to watch the live stream. To watch a game of soccer or basketball on the Bet365 iPad or iPhone app, you are just required to have a funded account at Bet365. It’s that simple. There is no minimum deposit requirement, so as long as you have some money in your account you can continue to watch live streams of your favourite sports for FREE. Additionally, live sporting streams are available to anyone who has placed a bet in the previous 24hrs.
Watching a sporting event via the Bet365 apps on the iPhone or iPad couldn’t be easier. The app lists all of the current and upcoming streaming events on the homepage and in the markets area a video icon appears beside any sporting event that will be streamed. This icon will turn to a yellow watch button as soon as the live stream is available to watch.

Fans of the Barclays Premier League in the UK will now be able to catch all the action on their iPhones thanks to a free iPhone app from ESPN, called ESPN goals. Goals from Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool and every other Premiership team will be streamed on the new sports app, just minutes after they happen. The best thing about this new soccer app is that it is completely free. The ESPN Goal app was available last season but the reason you probably didn’t hear about it was because it cost either £3.99 per month or £29.99 annually, which was a little expenisve for most casual supporters. Thankfully, a sponsorship deal with Bet365 has meant that the app will be free to download this season from the iTunes App Store. The app will have some Bet365 advertising and will come with a Bet Now button that will allow users place bets at Bet365 directly from the app. The ESPN Goals iPhone app will cover all 380 Barclays Premier League matches this season, bringing user live scores and stats, weekend round ups, match previews and interviews from the Premier leagues biggest stars. You can even set an alert to let you know as soon as your team have scored. Other smartphone users aren’t being left out either. An ESPN Goals app will also be made available for BlackBerry, Android, Nokia and Windows Phone 7 mobile devices.

But can we watch sports live on our iPhones for free? The answer is YES WE CAN. So how do I watch my favourite team play live on my iPhone?

You may get the following message “Optimizing the video for your device and connection speed” while the video converts and buffers for your device.
