✅ Get Your Account Ready
Make sure your account is set up before the tournament begins - especially before high-demand kick-offs:
Verified - complete ID and address verification in advance. This can take time, so don't leave it until match day.
Funded - add funds to your account before kick-off. Deposits usually process instantly, but some payment methods may take longer.
Opted in to any promotions you want to use - offers must be activated before you place your qualifying bet.
App up to date - make sure you're running the latest version of the Midnite app for the smoothest experience.
📱 Streaming & Live Match Tracking
Midnite doesn't provide live video streams of matches. However, you can follow live match progress using the Live View feature in the app:
Live View shows real-time match stats and key events.
Use this alongside in-play betting to follow the action.
Note: in-play data may have a slight delay depending on your connection.
