Live Activity allows you to follow football matches in real time directly from your iPhone Lock Screen — no need to open the app. This feature keeps you up to date with key match details as they happen.
When reviewing SBK it was undoubtedly a highlight of the betting product on offer, especially as they are one of the only betting sites in the country who have this feature (or similar). It's a great option for tracking your bets, and the fact that it's customisable makes it even more appealing, rather than having to favourite an entire league or competition.
For users who want to activate the Live Activity feature, just head to the football match in question from the main homepage as you would normally. Then just the 📌 Pin icon at the top of the event. Likewise, you can do the same action from your My Bets page. Head there, find the match in question, and tap the same pin icon situated at the top.You can see in the video below how it works.
