I already have a direct annual subscription with BEIN. Am I able to use this through the Prime platform without being expected to pay an additional fee?
Hi Clive – you could try logging in with your credentials when accessing the service through Prime Video, though I suspect that to access it inside the service you may need to subscribe within that ecosystem.
Making people pay for this as an add-on is pretty stupid, especially when it was free with a Kayo package originally and the same price as the BeIN Sports Connect platform already,
I also bet that when the cricket is added to the Amazon platform it won’t be charged as an add-on to watch
Way too expensive.
