I want to watch the Mosconi Cup but DAZN has a lot of complaints regarding their service. Anyone have any comments? They come off as shysters.
 
I've never had a problem with them that i haven't had with any other streamer.
If you like boxing and such can't be beat.
 
I've heard of issues with people unsubscribing. If you have any Apple devices though just subscribe through their app store and then you can cancel easily and without any hoops. I usually subscribe on my iPhone and then immediately cancel which just sets it up to not renew next month but I get to keep my access for the full month. Super easy and never a problem going that route.

Sometimes their streams have had issues in the past but the last couple times I've used them it's been pretty solid for me so no complaints.
 
Their streaming quality has been good for a while. I can use it on multiple devices; TV, PC, and tablet, so that I can use it where I am.

I only have two complaints:
1. The matches available for less than a week.
2. It's expensive. I feel like I'm underwriting the boxing industry to watch an occasional pool match.

Agreed, I’d be happy to subscribe if they had a library of old matches to watch but they give us zip.

viasport doesn't have that either. discovery+ does have some snooker events available for a while but it's not an infinite library there either. pool events by MR are eventually uploaded to youtube, and accustats does that too. but they both do it a week or so before next year's event (presumably to boost that coming tourney).

overall between the WNT, the predator events, satellite events and all the streamers, i think we're really kind of spoiled. there's so much pool going on i don't even watch snooker or 3C anymore
 
They are terrible, they have a scam going where if you sign up you need to give them 30 days notice to cancel or they charge you an extra month. So essentially if you only want to subscribe for a month just to watch the mosconi cup, they pretty much force you into two months of service by some fine print in their terms that NO other streaming service has.

Stream quality has been terrible at times as well. Constant buffering and error messages saying stream is unavailable.

There has been LOTs of reports of people signing up for a monthly subscription that somehow gets turned into a yearly and of course they won't back refund.

If you are worried about cancelling: Use a credit card like American Express that will give you a virtual card number and set it to expire in 30 days. A prepaid credit card will also work in this scenario.

I'd also recommend using a new email address if you do this.
 
Why not get Matchroom Live and run a VPN?
A decent quality VPN costs about as much as the DAZN stream. Can't run my DAZN smart TV app through a VPN, which is where I watch most pool content... Why people watch pool on phones, tablets, or computers, instead of a large TV while parked on a comfy couch, is beyond me.

A VPN was included in my Smart DNS Unlocator account that I use for MLB.tv. Matchroom Live is $5.99 a month. Who said anything about only watching on a computer/device? I can screen share from my Mac to my Apple TV in the living room, bedroom or pool room and do so frequently. I gladly do this to avoid DAZN's $120 a year subscription, their crappy customer service and frequent poor stream quality. After watching many events on DAZN, I'm much happier with Matchroom Live.

I paid for the stream for several years, only wanting the one event, and I was fine with paying that. Last year, they trapped me into a year subscription on their website. You know, when you don't uncheck a button or something. Well, I called, and they would not cancel my subscription. I had to cancel my credit card account to get out of it (which I was doing anyway by switching banks). Yes, they suck and will try to trap you. Beware! Customer service sucked. I will not be watching this year or any year in the future via their paid service.

I find screen casting/mirroring to not always work that great ;( If I had an apple TV I would probably go that route though. As long as it was as simple as changing a channel on the TV and the pause/play/rw/ff all worked with the same remote as the TV.
 
I had a very hard time unsubscrbing. They are not easy to work with if there are any problems.
Just had this same issue cancelling (runs out end of december so i can watch MC).
Forced me to chat with a rep, who i then had to tell at least 4 times that i did not want whatever offer they had and to cancel the subscription.
Kept trying to give me fight packages even after I explained I don't watch fighting...

It's like the StarTrib all over again: Bastards sent a collection agency after me for $12.41 after i tried on 3 occasions to cancel over the phone (the only way), so I removed the card from the account. Customer entrapment seems to be a common theme with just about any service now...

I frequently watch matches over a beer at a taproom on my tablet.

I’ve not had issues. Picture is crystal clear and all functions work. As others have pointed out, DAZN can be difficult to deal with. To each their own, I suppose.
 
I just signed up with DAZN....then canceled my account.

I think DAZN is my choice again this year. Special deal: Three months for $14.99 each month. After that $29.99. You can cancel with 30 days notice. I plan to sign up and immediately cancel. So I will be able to watch the entire Mosconi Cup for 14.99...plus the entire 30 days.
