You will just have to imagine the pop-up advertisements of the casino in the middle of a naked bootleg game now. The Alliance for Creativity and Entertainment (ACE) announced yesterday that the largest illegal sports streaming platform, Streameast, is dead … just in time to kick off the NFL 2025 season today.

It collected more than 1.6 billion visits in the past year and recorded an average of around 136 million monthly visits, according to ACE. The coalition said that it had worked with the Egyptian authorities to close streaming and its 80 associated areas:

  • The network illegally broadcast a wide range of first League and the European Champions League, as well as those of the NFL, NBA and MLB.
  • Streameast has also shown hacked F1 races, MMA fights and boxing matches.

Authorities have descended from Streameast offices and took three laptops, four smartphones, $ 123,000 in Visa cards and about $ 200,000 in cryptographic wallets.

It is difficult to slap a certain number on the quantity of digital hacking costs broadcasting companies, but a 2025 survey of Brand Finance revealed that 43% of the 14,000 people in 13 countries have planned to use an unofficial streaming service to watch games. A 2023 study by Yougov revealed that 11% of adults actually had content hackers last year, with about half of them saying that they had done it because the cost was otherwise too high.—MM
