Even now some illegal or completely unauthorized streams with a display full of ads are spread through all kinds of platforms such as VC, Telegram, Zoom etc.,
so many are interested in free streaming without any cost, but with the risk there will be some dangers that can lurk.
I also only use pay TV channels with a lot of matches that I can watch, just need to see what the fixtures are on the bets,
but if it's not available and it's just a small match, then just have to wait for the results without looking at the matches.
It goes back to each individual and if they intend to use the free one then they will get the consequences of what is used. There are many advertising models on the available platforms and it may be difficult to limit if you use the free one, with the resulting risks people should already understand it. For the layman it becomes a problem because if the advertisement is displayed containing something dangerous and if clicked it will be detrimental.
I also use pay TV channels and there are lots of matches shown so that they can be watched more satisfyingly. Moreover, the payment is not too high so it does not burden the pocket when you want to pay. If you want to place a new bet using a gambling site and usually I will see references on the forum.
