Optus Sport - Free Streaming Services through to August 31 (Previously $14.99) - Includes World Cup and Start of Premier League

5290

In response to the absolute clusterf*** from the Optus World Cup coverage , Optus have handed over all the group match coverage to SBS, with the hope to rectify their service in time for the remaining games.

From news.com.au:

"Optus has made a decision to leave its app and sport streaming services free and open to everyone in Australia for the remainder of the World Cup and through to August 31. The telco says Australians who have already paid for the service will receive full refunds. That move would allow Australian sport streamers to also get the opening few weeks of the 2018-19 English Premier League season free through Optus."

EDIT: Optus appears to have removed the pay wall now, happy watching.

  • still not free

    optus fail, cant keep promises

    but if they do come through, we can stream final 16 and quarters on optus that SBS is not covering

  • The app on Google Play is free to download but still has the $ to use. What is the point of announcing this with a 'promise' to refund.

    It is also copping lots and lots of 1-star ratings.

    This is not going well for Optus.

    Hello everyone, sharing the BIG news you all have been waiting for. It’s finally free! Tested on both Android and iOS. No subscription prompts anymore. Thank me later :)

    • +3

      I’m still getting prompts. Even after logging out and in again.

      • same here

        • Same here. Same old issue, only work for some I guess :)

  • Can anyone else confirm that they don’t have to pay the $15 now? It seems to be working for me but now 100% sure as I haven’t seen any notifications

  • What if I paid for Optus sport but took out my payment information after I subscribed,
    Will I still get a refund?

    • I did the same - added a credit card to Google Play, bought Optus Sport. then removed the credit card.

      I'm not too bothered about a refund, as they have since sent me a Fetch Mini and given me 12 months of free Optus Sport, which is not bad for $15.

  • All videos are now unlocked. Enjoy Optus Sport!

      Still asked me to buy subscription.

  • I just tried uninstalling and reinstalling on Android and it is still asking to buy subscription.

    • I just went on it now and it works! You just need to sign up for a free account I think :)

  • I signed up a couple of days ago but forgot about it when payment was prompted for. Just opened the app again now and could go straight to a game without prompts for payment.

    Crap just got charged $14.99 by Optus. They better refund!

  • "Your device is rooted and we are not able to proceed". My old tab needed Magisk before going to work…

  • Has anyone got the refund yet? I got the text message from Optus but no refund yet.

    • Yeah I got a refund to my credit card yesterday (signed up via Android phone app).
