No SuperCasino for Northern Ireland
Published Tuesday, Jan 13 2009, 09:32 GMT | By James Welsh
SuperCasino, the new Freeview gaming channel from NetPlay TV, will not be seen in Northern Ireland.
The service will be available 24 hours a day on channel 48 in England, Scotland and Wales. However, gambling regulations in Northern Ireland mean that it is not carried on the Belfast transmitter.
A SuperCasino representative said: "Due to Northern Ireland government regulations we are unable to broadcast our show in the Northern Ireland area on the Freeview platform."
In December, when NetPlay confirmed it had secured the slot on Freeview, the company's executive chairman and chief executive officer Martin Higginson said it represented "a major milestone" for the business.
