For horse and greyhound racing, a minimum bet of £0.50 (or currency equivalent) on the specific race is typically required to unlock its live video feed. This ensures that the service is available to active participants of the exchange. The streaming service integrates seamlessly with the in-play wagering interface. This allows for placing and managing wagers while viewing the event in real-time within the same browser window.
