Jokerlivestream.com: is it safe? The card trial, the extension and how to remove it
Jokerlivestream.com was a website that offered free live sports streams and led visitors to a card form and an extension prompt. On 6 October 2026 it did not open in our test and its web address forwarded to JokerTVGuide, so the risk now lies in card trials, old notification permissions and the extension.

What Jokerlivestream.com was and where it points now
Jokerlivestream.com is a website, not a program. In 2020 it listed live sports streams and led visitors to a sign-up that asked for a card number for a "free" stream; on 6 October 2026 the address did not open in our test browser, and its plain web address forwards to another site, JokerTVGuide.
- Domain
- jokerlivestream.com, registered on 16 July 2018 through NameCheap; the registry says it is valid until 16 July 2027 and was last changed on 17 June 2026
- Also known as
- JokerTVGuide at jokertvguide.sx. That site's own text says Jokerlivestream and Batmanstream "has been rebranded and moved to a new domain"; we cannot confirm who runs either name
- What it offered in 2020
- Live sports streams with a menu of Basketball, Baseball, Handball, Hockey, Motorsport, Rugby, Tennis, Volleyball and Other, a "For Referrals" page, a sitemap and a "For Webmasters" page; a banner offered 100 dollars for becoming a referral (our 2020 picture)
- What it asked for
- A free account, a card number to "verify" the visitor's country, and, in one picture, the installation of a Chrome extension called Sports Kingdom
- Today
- Opening https://jokerlivestream.com/ in our test browser timed out after 30 seconds. A plain request to the http address was answered at once with a forward to https://jokertvguide.sx/ (our test, below)
- Is it a program?
- No. Our 2020 guide called it a PUP and adware; a website installs nothing by being opened. What you may have to remove is the Sports Kingdom extension, a notification permission, or a card subscription that you started afterwards
How people ended up on the name
- Searching for a live game
- A redirect from another streaming or ad page
- A link in a pop-up ad
- The Sports Kingdom prompt followed by the sign-up pages
- A notification sent after pressing Allow
- A saved bookmark
Our 2020 guide described visitors who came to watch a match, and a reader who kept being sent to the site. Which of these is yours we cannot tell from here.
Jokerslivestream, jockerlivestream and other spellings, and Jokerlivestream on Android
Jokerslivestream, jockerlivestream, jokelivestream, jokerlivetsream and jokerlvestream are misspellings of Jokerlivestream.com, the sports-streaming site this guide covers.
We found no reliable source for separate sites under these names, so our reading is that people simply mistype the address. Typo addresses are risky in their own right, because some of them are registered to show ads or redirects. Before you open any variant, type the exact name into a search engine and read the results first.
Everything in this guide applies to all of these spellings. The site did not open in our test on 6 October 2026, and its address forwarded to JokerTVGuide. If a misspelled address opens a page that asks for a card number, notification permission or an extension, close the tab. Then follow the steps above for cards, notifications and the Sports Kingdom extension.
Jokerlivestream on Android is not a virus that installs itself by visiting the site. The usual problem is a notification permission given in Chrome, which then shows ads that look like system alerts. To remove it, open Chrome, tap More, then Settings, Site settings and Notifications, and block the site. Also check Settings, Apps on your phone for any app you installed from its ads, and uninstall it.
Is Jokerlivestream.com dangerous?
Our test on 6 October 2026
We tried to open https://jokerlivestream.com/ the way a visitor does: a clean desktop Chromium browser in Lithuania, no extension, no account, no clicks. The page did not answer within 30 seconds, so we saw nothing of it. We also checked the address with plain web requests, which show where it points but run none of its scripts.
jokerlivestream.com · desktop Chromium and plain requests · Europe · 6 October 2026 · one visit
- Does the page open in a browserNo. The browser waited 30 seconds for https://jokerlivestream.com/ and gave up (a timeout). A plain request to the same address also got no answer in 15 seconds. We could not look at the page, so we cannot say what it shows.
- Where the plain address leadsA request to http://jokerlivestream.com/ was answered within a second with a temporary redirect (status 302) to https://jokertvguide.sx/, and the answer is labelled "Namecheap URL Forward": the registrar forwards the name. The address with www in front has no DNS record, so it does not open.
- The place it forwards tohttps://jokertvguide.sx/ answered with a page titled "JokerTVGuide - Sports Streaming In HD - Soccer, Tennis, NFL & Others" and says that Jokerlivestream and Batmanstream were rebranded and moved there. Its page source names the hosts affpa.top and reffpa.com, which we did not identify. A bare request got an error (500) and one with a browser's identifier got the page: sites like this sometimes answer clients differently.
- Notification request, pop-ups, redirectsNot seen, because the browser never loaded the page and we did not open jokertvguide.sx in a browser. Nothing here clears either site.
- Sign-up and card formNot tested. We saw the 2020 form only in our own pictures.
- Sports Kingdom extensionNot tested. We did not check whether the extension is still offered in the Chrome Web Store.
- Not testedOther countries, phones, Mac, a second visit, a delay, clicks, the 2020 sports pages (they are not at this address), and any account or payment page.
Nothing seen, because the page did not load, which clears nothing A timeout is not a clean result: the site may be down, may block our test browser or country, or may answer other visitors. The name forwards to a different streaming site, and a quiet or missing page on one visit says nothing about what 2020 visitors met. The older risks, which are the card trial, the extension and notification permissions, are the ones to check on your own computer.
What we know about the site over the years
16 July 2018
The domain is registered
The registry gives this date for jokerlivestream.com, with NameCheap as the registrar. It shows the name has existed since 2018; it does not tell us who ran the streaming pages.
2019-2020
The home page asks for notifications
In our picture the address bar reads https://www.jokerlivestream.com and Chrome's box says the site "wants to Show notifications", with Block and Allow. Behind it is a black page with a gold menu of sports (Basketball, Baseball, Handball, Hockey, Motorsport, Rugby, Tennis, Volleyball, Other), the links "For Referrals", "Sitemap" and "For Webmasters", and a banner reading "Become a referral and get 100$". The picture is at the top of this page.
2020
The extension prompt
A page headed "Western & Southern Open in HD only on" showed a box "+Add Sports Kingdom", step 1: press the button to add the Sports Kingdom Chrome extension, which would "help you search for TV sports channels worldwide". Above a "Chrome Web Store" badge, the visible small print names SplendidApps. The page behind it shows the billing terms of a different site (next entries). We cannot tell from the picture whether the extension is still available.
The extension prompt and the billing terms from our 2020 guide: the terms are those of goplayz.com and a company called Blender Bunch LTD, and the highlighted line reads 49.95 USD a month after a 5 day trial. 2020
A free account, then a card form
A page headed "Russia U16 vs North Macedonia U16 live stream" offered "Unlimited access" for $0, with email and password boxes and a button "Create free account | $0.00". The next page, headed GoPlayz, was an "Account Verification" form for "One Membership €0,00" asking for name, postcode, country, card number, expiry date and CVV, and said the card was needed to verify the viewer's country because content was licensed to certain countries only. Its small print says the offer "includes a 7-day free trial to kazumedia.com" that renews automatically at €57.95 every 30 days until cancelled.
The sign-up and the card form from our 2020 guide. The button says $0.00, the heading says One Membership €0,00, and the small print at the bottom describes a trial that renews at €57.95 every 30 days. 22 May 2020
Our guide is published
Our guide called the site a PUP that tries to get card details, and gave steps to stop its notifications. It was not changed afterwards. Its picture of the Chrome settings shows
www.jokerlivestream.comin the list of sites allowed to send notifications, with the menu Block, Edit and Remove.
How the 2020 guide showed stopping the notifications in Chrome. The menu names have changed since; current steps are in the sections below. 17 June 2026
The registry record changes
The last change at the registry is dated 17 June 2026. The record does not say what changed.
6 October 2026
No page, a forward
Our browser could not open the address, and the plain http address forwards to jokertvguide.sx, which says it took over from Jokerlivestream. The registry lists the name as valid until 16 July 2027.
What the sign-up asked for and what it would cost
The streams were advertised as free, but the pages in our 2020 pictures describe a paid membership that starts after a trial. The pictures give three different names and prices for it, which is a reason to treat the whole flow with care.
| Where we saw it | What it said | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| The registration page | "Unlimited access" for $0, with the button "Create free account | $0.00" and a headline for a youth football match | The first step looks free. It gives an email and a password that you may also use elsewhere. |
| The GoPlayz verification form | "One Membership €0,00"; "we ask that you verify your mailing address by providing us with a valid credit card number"; "NO CHARGES will be applied for validating your account" | The card number is asked for as a check, yet the same page lists a trial that turns into a charge. |
| The small print on that form | A 7-day free trial to kazumedia.com, after which the membership "renews automatically at €57.95 every 30 days until cancelled" | A subscription starts unless you cancel before day 7. |
| The Terms read behind the extension prompt | Membership of Blender Bunch LTD, billed monthly to the payment method given; a 5 day trial that renews to a 1 month Premium Download membership at $49.95 USD a month; a Pay As You Go plan at $2.25 USD per product that is non-refundable; and the right to change prices | A second name, a second price and a second trial length. Whoever is charged, the amount can change. |
Our 2020 guide quoted the same terms and said that, after the five-day trial, the card would be charged $49.95 a month and that the terms say the payments cannot be refunded. We did not sign up, we did not test the form in 2026, and we cannot say what any of these companies charges today, so these are the terms in our pictures and nothing more. A trial that needs a card is a subscription: that is the fact that matters.
The Sports Kingdom extension
- What it is
- A Chrome extension named Sports Kingdom. In our 2020 picture it is offered as a way to search for TV sports channels worldwide, with a Chrome Web Store badge. Our 2020 guide said it can be downloaded from the official store but should be treated as a potentially unwanted program
- What the old guide said it did
- Show pop-ups, deals, offers, coupons, banners and other commercial content, and, if declined, show its prompt again several times. We did not install it and did not see any of this ourselves
- Where it appears
- In the 2020 flow, as step 1 before the stream. We do not know whether the extension is still available or still bears that name
- How to check your browser
- Open the extensions page of your browser, look for Sports Kingdom or anything you did not install, and remove it (the tabs above give the address for each browser). An extension can read the pages you open, so remove it even if it seems harmless
The real risks, from most to least serious
"Jokerlivestream.com virus" describes what could follow a visit, not the page itself: opening a website installs nothing, and the harm comes from what you enter, accept or install.
- High
A card subscription you did not mean to start
The 2020 pages describe a free trial that needs a card and then renews, at $49.95 a month in one set of terms and at €57.95 every 30 days in another. The terms in our picture say the Pay As You Go purchases are non-refundable. This is the clearest way to lose money, and it is why the card number matters more than anything installed.
- Medium
Card details and an email and password given to a stranger
The old guide warned that sensitive details could be misused. We cannot show what happened to them, so treat a card number typed on such a form as exposed: tell your bank. If you used the same email and password elsewhere, change them there.
- Medium
The Sports Kingdom extension
Our 2020 guide described pop-ups, deals, coupons and banners from it, and an extension can read every page you open. It was reachable through the official store, which does not make it harmless.
- Medium
Clicking Allow on a notification request
One click lets a site push ads to your desktop until the permission is removed. In Chrome and Edge they can arrive with the window closed, since both keep running in the background by default. Our 2020 picture shows the request on the home page.
- Medium
Other installs and redirects from the ads
Streaming pages earn money from the ad networks they pass visitors to. The old guide warned that adware of this kind can lead to more serious infections, and that browser changes and redirects to pages such as this one are signs of it. We have not seen such offers ourselves in 2026.
- Low
A slow or crowded browser
Many ads and scripts on a page, or an extension that keeps adding banners, can slow the browser. A page that does not load does nothing of the kind.
- Low
Copyright
Live sport is nearly always sold to broadcasters under licence, so a free stream on a site like this is normally not licensed. Whether watching one is an offence differs from country to country; the safer choice is a licensed source.
What adware installed from such pages typically collects
- Recently visited websites
- Links and ads clicked
- Search queries and results
- Bookmarks
- IP address
- Browser type and device details
Our 2020 guide said such programs collect browsing-related information. The aim is to target ads at you. If you installed something from these pages, remove it with the steps below.
If you gave a card number or started a trial
Act before the trial ends: a trial that needs a card renews unless you cancel, and the terms in our pictures say that part of the payments cannot be refunded.
- 1
Find out what you signed up for
Look in your email for a welcome or receipt message, and search it for the names that appear in our pictures: GoPlayz, Blender Bunch LTD, kazumedia and Sports Kingdom. The name on your bank statement may differ from the site's name.
- 2
Cancel in the member's account
The terms in our picture tell members to open the "Your Account" page on the site to cancel before the trial ends. If the account page does not open, go straight to your bank.
- 3
Ask your bank to stop it
Phone the number on the back of your card. Say that you entered the card on a streaming sign-up that started a subscription, and ask them to block further charges, replace the card and, if there has been a charge, dispute it. Do not use a phone number printed on the sign-up page.
- 4
Mind the time limit
In the United States, the Federal Trade Commission says a billing-error letter must reach the card issuer within 60 days after the first bill containing the error was sent. Rules and time limits differ by country and by card, so ask your bank how long you have.
- 5
Keep the evidence
Save the page's terms, screenshots, emails and the statement lines. They are what a dispute is decided on.
- 6
Change reused passwords
If the email and password you typed on the free-account page are used on other accounts, change them there today.
How adware reaches a computer
| Way in | What it looks like | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Bundled with free programs | A free player, converter or tool downloaded from a site other than its maker's, whose setup offers extras on later screens. Our 2020 guide called bundling a common way and named disguises such as driver updaters, registry cleaners and PDF converters. | Download from the maker's own site or the Microsoft Store. Choose Custom or Advanced setup in the installer and untick the extras. |
| A browser extension offered on the way to a stream | The Sports Kingdom prompt in our picture is an example: an extension added from a page you came to for something else. | Add extensions only after you have opened the store page yourself and know what they do. |
| Pages that are not the maker's | Our 2020 guide said adware can also appear on third-party websites, often disguised as a useful program. | Leave a page that pushes a download or a prompt before the content. |
| A click on an ad or a redirect | An ad on a stream or download site opens another page that starts a download or asks for Allow. | Close the tab; do not open the download. |
In each case the installer is a file or an extension you accepted. Once it is on the PC it can add extensions, change the start page or the new-tab page and send your browser to pages you never chose.

Windows 11: Windows Security > Virus & threat protection > Scan options. Full procedure with screenshots: Run a Microsoft Defender Offline scan
After removal: keep the ads from coming back
If you installed the extension, allowed notifications or see redirects
A website you have left cannot keep sending you elsewhere. If your browser still opens Jokerlivestream-style pages, changed its start page, or shows ads between pages, something on the computer or in the browser does it: an extension, a notification permission you gave, or a program from an ad. The steps below look for that, and they need no extra tool.
- 1
Take back notification permissions
In Chrome open Settings > Privacy and security > Site settings > Notifications and remove
jokerlivestream.com,jokertvguide.sxand every other site you do not recognise. The tabs above give the other browsers. - 2
Remove the extension
Open the extensions page of your browser and remove Sports Kingdom and anything you did not install, especially players, video downloaders, toolbars and search helpers added recently. Also look at the home page and new-tab address: if they changed, something other than you changed them.
- 3
Uninstall what came with a free program
In Windows 11 go to Settings > Apps > Installed apps (Apps & features in Windows 10), sort by date and remove whatever appeared the day the redirects began, including other unwanted apps that came with the first one (Uninstall a program or app in Windows On uGetFix). Leftover programs bring the same ads back.
- 4
Scan, then scan offline
Start a Microsoft Defender Full scan; when it ends, run Microsoft Defender Antivirus (offline scan) too, because some malware hides while Windows is running. A scan finds programs; the redirects stop once the thing that causes them is gone.
- 5
On a Mac
Move unknown apps from Finder > Applications to the Bin and check System Settings > General > Login Items & Extensions. The Safari tab above has the folders to check.
- 6
If you gave a card number
Read the section above on the card trial; removing the extension does not cancel a subscription.
Typed a password or card number on a page the site opened? Change that password today and tell your bank about the card. If you are unsure about your computer skills, the steps above are all built in; you can also ask someone who knows the system to watch while you do them.
How to keep it from happening again
Do
- Stop sites from even asking: in Chrome, Settings > Privacy and security > Site settings > Notifications > Don't allow sites to send notifications. If a box does appear, press Block.
- Treat every "free" stream that asks for a card number as a subscription; read the small print for the word trial, then the word renews.
- Use a card with a low limit or a virtual card for any trial, and put the end date in your calendar.
- Install programs from the maker's own site or the Microsoft Store, and take Custom or Advanced setup when an installer offers it, then untick the extras.
- Install extensions only after opening the store page yourself and reading who makes them and what they can read.
- Use the Windows Security that is already built in, and keep it on: SmartScreen (App & browser control) warns about pages and files already known to be bad. When the browser says a site ahead is deceptive, go back.
- Keep a distance from unknown sources and leave a rogue page at once.
- Back up your documents with File History or OneDrive, so a bad download or a failing disk cannot take them.
- A VPN on public Wi-Fi hides your IP address from sites and ad networks; it blocks neither ads nor malware.
Don't
- Press Allow because a page says you need it to see the match.
- Type a card number to "verify your country" or "validate" an account.
- Add a Chrome extension because a stream page tells you to.
- Use the same email and password on a free-account page as on your email or bank.
- Download a player, codec or "update" from a sports-stream site.
Safer ways to watch live sport
A licensed source costs money or needs a TV licence or a subscription, but nothing on it asks you for a card to "verify your country" or to add an extension.
| Option | What to know |
|---|---|
| The broadcaster that holds the rights | Search the competition's own website for "where to watch"; it names the channel or service in your country |
| The league or competition's own app or pass | Often sold per season or per match; it also shows what is on in your country |
| Free-to-air television and its catch-up app | Some major events are free to watch; which ones depends on your country |
| Official highlights channels | Short clips on the league's or the clubs' own channels, usually free |
Questions about Jokerlivestream.com
Is Jokerlivestream.com down?
It did not open for us on 6 October 2026, but it is not simply gone. Our test browser waited 30 seconds for https://jokerlivestream.com/ and gave up, and a plain request to the same address also got no answer.
A plain request to the http address was answered at once with a forward to https://jokertvguide.sx/, a site that says Jokerlivestream was rebranded there. The www address has no DNS record.
We tested once, from one country, so we cannot say whether the site blocks our browser or is offline for everyone. The registry lists the name as registered until 16 July 2027.
Is Jokerlivestream.com safe?
We cannot call it safe: on our one visit the page did not load, so we saw nothing either way. A missing or quiet page proves little, because pages like this can behave differently by country, device or a second visit.
What our 2020 pictures show is a flow that offered free sports streams, then asked for a card number to verify the viewer's country, and whose small print describes a trial that renews at €57.95 every 30 days, and in other terms at $49.95 a month. Refuse notification requests, add no extension and give no card number.
Is Jokerlivestream.com a virus?
No, it is a website, not a program, and opening it does not install anything. Our 2020 guide called it a PUP and adware, meaning the extension prompt, the notification request and the card sign-up that people met. The harm comes from what you accept afterwards:
- a notification permission
- the Sports Kingdom Chrome extension
- a trial subscription
If you did none of these, there is nothing to remove. If you did, take back the permission, delete the extension, uninstall programs that appeared on that day and, if you gave a card, contact your bank.
What is JokerTVGuide, and is it the same as Jokerlivestream?
JokerTVGuide at jokertvguide.sx says that it is the same service under a new name. Its own text says Jokerlivestream and Batmanstream "has been rebranded and moved to a new domain", and the old name's plain web address forwards there.
We read that page's source with plain requests on 6 October 2026 but did not open it in a browser, and we have no record of who owns either name, so treat the claim as the site's own. Apply the same rules: no Allow on notification requests, no extensions, no card number.
Is Jokerlivestream really free? Why does it ask for a credit card?
The pages say free, but the card turns the offer into a subscription. In our 2020 pictures the registration page offers unlimited access for $0, and the next form asks for a card number to verify the viewer's country, saying that no charges will be applied for validating.
Its small print describes a 7-day trial that renews automatically at €57.95 every 30 days, and the Terms behind the extension prompt describe a 5 day trial that renews at $49.95 a month. We did not sign up in 2026, so we cannot say what is charged today.
How do I cancel Jokerlivestream and get my money back?
Cancel in the membership account if you can, and ask your bank at once. The terms in our 2020 picture say members cancel on the site's account page before the trial ends, and that Pay As You Go purchases are non-refundable. Do not rely on the site:
- phone the number on the back of your card
- ask them to block further charges
- replace the card
- dispute any charge
The United States FTC says a billing-error letter must reach the issuer within 60 days of the first bill with the error; other countries differ, so ask how long you have.
How do I stop Jokerlivestream notifications?
Remove the site's permission in your browser. In Chrome open Settings, then Privacy and security, Site settings, Notifications, and remove or block jokerlivestream.com and any site you do not recognise.
Edge has the same list under Cookies and site permissions, and Firefox under Privacy and Security, Permissions, Notifications. Safari on a Mac uses Settings, Websites, Notifications.
If you cannot tell which site it is, remove every entry you do not know. Turning off background running in Chrome or Edge stops notifications arriving after you close the browser. If they keep coming, reset the browser.
What is the Sports Kingdom extension and how do I remove it?
Sports Kingdom is a Chrome extension that the 2020 flow offered as a way to search for TV sports channels worldwide. Our 2020 guide advised treating it as a potentially unwanted program that shows pop-ups, deals, coupons and banners.
To remove it, paste chrome://extensions into the Chrome address bar and click Remove under Sports Kingdom or anything else you did not install. Edge uses edge://extensions and Firefox about:addons. We did not test the extension and do not know whether it is still offered, so judge by what is in your own browser.
Is it legal to watch sport on sites like Jokerlivestream?
That depends on the stream's licence and on where you live, and we are not lawyers, so we cannot give a verdict. Live sport is normally sold to broadcasters under licence, and free streams of paid events usually are not licensed.
How the law treats the viewer differs from country to country. What we can say is that these sites are paid for by advertising and sign-ups, and that is where the risk lies:
- prompts to press Allow
- extensions
- card trials
A licensed source, such as the broadcaster or the league's own service, avoids both questions.
Will Fortect remove Jokerlivestream.com?
Fortect scans Windows for malware and unwanted programs and repairs the system files and settings they change, and its free scan shows what it finds on your PC before you decide anything.
For Jokerlivestream.com, follow the plan above as well: the browser steps take back permissions and settings that no scanner treats as a threat, and uninstalling the program that brought it removes the source.
Run Microsoft Defender's full scan and, if anything was found, its offline scan as a second opinion. If the symptoms are gone after the plan and both scans are clean, there is nothing more to do.
