Hotstar Complaints & Reviews

They promised for telecasting all the india cricket live matches in usa. But in 2020 jan they are not doing it for ind nz matches. When i asked them, the i answer i got was they did not get the rights. So if they cannot provide the telecast why did they charged me for the subscription. It’s totally complete violation of the agreement. If they cannot buy the rights in usa then why did they make false promises to customers....

Poor live streaming of cricket match has been the practise of hotstar which monopolises the streaming of cricket matches in india.

My user id is [protected]@gmail.com. They need to compensate for this....

I am ardent fan of cricket. Was so existed when i heard hotstar was streaming cricket. I feel i am cheated since hotstar now says will only stream bcci sponsored cricket events. I can not watch on going aus vs ind 2018\19 series in australia. Nothing was mentioned during my sign up.

For all cricket lovers like me, please keep distance from hotstar....
