A streamed table and a streamed match look alike on a phone, yet one is a casino product and the other a sportsbook market. This page lines them up so you know which rules and tools apply before you switch between them.
On a sports page the thing being priced is an event nobody controls, and the price is re-quoted as the event unfolds. At a live dealer table a studio runs a cycle of short rounds whose payouts are fixed before each deal. Because of that, a drifting price, a Cash Out figure and a Bet Builder have no counterpart at the table. bet365 terms list sportsbook, casino, live casino and poker as separate products, and they sit with two different operating entities, which is a good reason to read the rules for each product on its own.
Four short contrasts capture most of what differs between a live match and a live table. Treat them as a checklist before switching from one to the other.
Because a sports bet and a table round fall under different product rules, a query that names the product reaches the right answer faster.
State whether the question concerns the sportsbook or the live casino, along with the date and approximate time of the bet or round.
Sports bets carry a bet reference and table rounds a round ID. Quote whichever one applies, copied exactly.
According to bet365's general terms, both product groups are licensed by the Government of Gibraltar and regulated by the Gibraltar Gambling Commissioner, but each is held by a different entity.

A dispute about a table round is handled under casino rules, not sportsbook rules, so quote the right product when you raise one.
The decision you make is very different in each, and so is the pace. Use the cards to judge how each one fits the way you like to spend time.
A table round can finish in about a minute, while a football bet can stay open for ninety. Faster rounds mean faster spending.
In sport, form and team news feed into the price. At a table, no outside information changes the outcome of the next round.
Cash Out belongs to sports markets. A table bet has no early exit once the round begins, so the stake is committed until it settles.
Set session and spend limits before either. They matter more where rounds repeat quickly and losses can stack up within minutes.
A few phrases you are likely to meet at a live table, explained for readers used to sports slips.
A person who runs the game in a studio, shown by video, while bets are entered on your own screen.
The short countdown before each round during which bets are accepted. It plays the role a market's open period plays in sport.
The smallest and largest stake accepted on one bet at a given table, shown in its rules panel.
A record of recent results shown at the table. It describes the past and does not predict what comes next.
Answers to the points readers raise most when they compare tables and matches.
No. They belong to the casino side, which bet365 terms treat as a separate product with its own operating entity.
No. Bet Builder joins selections from one sporting event, so it has no role in a dealer game.
Neither is safe. Both can lose money quickly, so put limits in place for both before you start.
Each table has a rules panel listing payouts and limits. Read it before the first bet rather than during a round.
