They can't just rely on differing ip's. I believe they can vary even for a single user at the same physcal location depending on your ISP.

it's hard to judge at this point in time as they have yet to stop anyone from still sharing

Netflix allows access on mobile phones but the mobile phone must connect to the registered home wi fi once every thirty days.

I assume Kayo will roll out similar software at some time.

Anyone have trouble watching the Brisbane Bulldogs game tonight on Kayo? I couldn’t watch it after half way through third quarter. Game would not load on iPad or iPhone which is a bummer as it’s the only decent game so far.

I couldn’t even get the app to load on my iPhone. Gave up in the end. No issue all day, but had problems at the same time as you.

Likewise. I tend to log out at the end of each quarter and then log back in at the start of the next quarter. All went south after half time.

Tried the same on the tablet and had the exact same problem. Even went to effort to delete and reload app. Gave up and listened to the rest of the game on the radio.

After the game I tried Kayo again and sure enough, it worked!!!

Same here had to listen on the radio. Bad way for Kayo to start the season. Bulldogs fans would have been very angry as there was no FTA viewing.

I have whinged elsewhere that at ball ups after goals, Fox/Kayo/7 had been replaying players celebrating goals and confining the actual ball up to a small inset. The AFL introduced a new ruck rule to make the ball up contests more spectacular and their broadccasters aren't showing it properly (and sometimees not at all). Ridiculous.

Watching the GWS/Hawks game on Kayo I was pleasantly surprised to see that we got to see the ball thrown up in full screen mode. Has the AFL woken up or was that an aberration?

Probably because yesterday's games were broadcast by Foxtel/Kayo whereas Thurs/Fri were channel 7 feeds with Fox commentary. When it's a channel 7 game you may see it revert.

I use Drogon.tv for my fix. Around $15 a month for all the AFL, NBA, NFL, PPV and pretty much anything else. HD streams but $30 less a month I can deal with that.

Anyways, most Melbourne games are on a Sunday so channel 7 covers that.

That makes sense. In the regular season all GWS and Sydney games appear on 7 where I live, but not this one which surprised me.

I read that Drogon doesn't guarantee it wil show all AFL matches. Is that your experience?

So far this season all the official preseason and regular season games have been broadcast.

I'd try it for a month and see if you like it. Better than forking out for Kayo the way they have been charging.

Yep, crackdown on allright, got a shared code, which stopped working yesterday. Kept trying to reload and I got a nessage from hubble which my sharer has never had to have or have access or login details for me to re logging to Hubble. Cant scan with phone or online! Stuffed!

I had the same problem at the same point on my iPad. Was staying at a hotel so assumed it might have been their wifi but had been perfect to that point.
Turned the game off and went to bed and resumed watching the next morning without knowing outcome. Not a great start for them for the 2026 season.

Interesting! I checked out the website and it gives you absolutely nothing.

I think you just have to try it for a month or two and see if it works for you.

I looked at a similar site and decided against it when it required me to join a crypto payment site or similar in order to make payment.

The other issue (I think) is that they are live TV sites in the main so the ability to time shift and watch on delay is limited unless you do an old fashioned recording.

I'll stick with Kayo but they are trying my patience (wallet) !

Thanks. How do you pay for it?

So I've been quite vocal on this thread on how I refuse to pay full price for Kayo this year and will only take up the odd deal if it comes along.

In Feb I was offered by text message a $1 for one month offer, took it up and then cancelled.

Last week I was fortunate enough to be offered this same deal. I took it up, the next thing I know $25.99 has been debited.

I go onto the Web chat customer service and got the usual unhelpful customer service saying that I'd actually claimed a $20 off premium deal despite showing screenshots of the text I received. I tell them that I'm no longer happy to do this and I'd rather just cancel for a refund with no usage, they told me that there can not be refunds for change of mind. I tell them that it a this was not as much a change of mind as it was deceptive promotional behaviour and they said they will review it.

I was well on the outs with Kayo but this has all but put a deadbolt in the coffin for the time being. It's not about the $25.99 it's that this slimey company is BSing around with bait and switch stuff and no responsibility for the text they actually sent me.

Very annoying and if I can be bothered I'll do something about it because they probably do this a lot.

Broadly related, but I can't get AFL match replays to work as they give me a geo-block message which is odd because I haven't gone anywhere (no VPN).

I found an AFL page from last year giving the Match Centre run-through and I can watch the 2 grand finals listed but cannot view any of the matches from this year (or last year).

Curious if anyone else is having this issue?

It's working for me. I checked a few games from this year, 2025 and 2024 seasons. Thanks for pointing this resource out. Very handy.

Sorry to hear you've had a poor experience mate, I will say I've largely had pretty good experiences with their online customer service on the few issues I've had. Although the one time I had an issue related to dual billing and a promotional price, they pretty much trotted out the same line.

I have found that every time I cancel I seem to get a text message offer within a week offering $15.00 off either membership option for the next 6 months, it could be something to keep an eye on. Alternatively, I was able to score a 12 month membership for $5 per month (still billed monthly) last year through my financial institution. There do seem to be offers on out there if you hunt around.
