How to Watch Live
Live Sports streams are free to watch for all Stan James customers, as long as they have a positive balance on their Stan James account or have placed a bet within 24 hours prior to the event.
You will find all available live sports streams via the "In-Play" link at the top of the homepage. Once you have clicked on that, you will see a box at the top left called "All Sports" which lists all the events streamed online that day.
To watch horse racing live online is slightly different, in that you need to actually place a small bet on the race you would like to watch. It is enough to put as little as £1 on a race of your choice and the live stream will automatically start a few minutes prior to the race.
