DAZN reported a loss of $1.30 billion for 2020. That followed a loss in the previous year as well. Finally, this year, owner Len Blavatnik wiped away the company\u2019s debt when he recapitalized $4.3 billion of loans, converted shares, and more.<\/p>\n
DAZN, in spite of its financial troubles, put together a deal worth $800 million to purchase BT Sport. However, since neither it nor Eleven has commented on their arrangement, there\u2019s no information on how much it\u2019s worth.<\/p>\n
\n
However, at least some of DAZN\u2019s customers may feel that they are paying for the acquisition, whether they want it or not. Customers in Spain are particularly unhappy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Last February, the monthly plan cost \u20ac9.99 (US10.02), although it increased by \u20ac3 (US$3.00) two months later. However, the rates are now going up again. Although the basic rate will remain the same, subscribers who want to see LaLiga games will have to pay \u20ac24.99 (US$25.07).<\/p>\n
Last year, UK customers watched as their monthly subscription rate skyrocketed 400%. It went from \u00a31.99 to \u00a37.99 (US$2.35 to $9.45), with a six-month migration bonus for existing users. In Italy, the price for new customers went from \u20ac9.99 to \u20ac29.99 (US$30.00).<\/p>\n
This year, in Germany, the monthly subscription rate went from \u20ac14.99 to \u20ac29.99 (US$16.91 to $33.82). However, existing customers received a six-month break.<\/p>\n
Logically, consumer demand leads to price increases. However, DAZN isn\u2019t even giving its Spanish customers the full package. Instead, it is limiting the coverage to just five matches each day.<\/strong><\/p>\nIn addition, the company has stated that it won\u2019t know which games will be available until only a few weeks prior. That makes it difficult for consumers to know whether there is value. But DAZN will certainly hope they buy in and authorize automatic, recurring payments.<\/p>\n
The sharing of accounts is going away as well. The practice has always been against the rules, but the platform will begin a campaign to stop the practice this August. As a result, some customers can expect a brick wall where their DAZN access used to be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
