HELP FAQ’s
Q. Why can’t I view the video?
Please make sure you are using the latest version of Internet Explorer, as this will allow you the best and maximised use of the internet.
If you have the latest version of Internet Explorer but still can’t view the race, you must install Adobe Flash to your system.
Q. I have done all the above but still can’t watch the video?
If you have a Firewall (security hardware/software) or any other related security software running on your PC it may affect your access to the site. You should consult the manufacturer’s manual or contact them directly regarding the package/hardware configuration.
Q. I have Broadband, but am having problems streaming the 650k videos?
If you have an internet connection of greater than 1mb, but experience a lot of buffering when viewing the 650k stream, the problem is most likely to be caused by network congestion over your ISP connection.
Q. Why can’t I view the race outside Australia?
The rights for the races only allow the content to be viewed within Australia. The stream is ‘Geo-Blocked’ to prevent access from outside this region.
Q. My PC complains about pop up blocking issues?
Your computer is currently blocking pop-up windows, which means you cannot watch the match. Pop-ups are small windows that are launched by the page you are looking at and may contain advertising or other information. These can be blocked from appearing by third-party software such as Yahoo! and Google toolbars, Zone Alarm and Norton products and if you are running XP with MS Service Pack 2 installed. If your browser is blocking all pop-ups you will be unable to open the media player. Allowing pop-up windows for the Sportsbet website will allow you to take advantage of all the features of the website.
