Yeah, I wouldn't assume they will just because Trackchamp offers that service. The streams might not even be that suitable for that if the quality is only middling at best.

I'd imagine most clubs have some sort of solution for that already and it vastly superior. Could be wrong though.

Has anyone watched a Danske Bank Premier game on this - is the game tonight on any gambling website ?

Mr A

Yes, once I registered and deposited money I could watch it. Quality just ok, but when you can't get to a game it'll be class.

Pity. I like to be able to see the despair in people's eyes.

I said this above but won't you have to have an account registered outside ROI for it to be available? Betting companies are often quite strict on verifying your address too.

According to the mail I got you have to verify to lodge more than €2000. Not an issue for me!

I used Ireland this time round, I'll set up a UK account when the time comes.

Bit mad, although understandable, the sound notification sounded marginally ahead of the actual goal on video. Which is actually pretty good- shows the video is very close to being live.

Grand for me too if that's the case! Have ways and means of appearing like I've a non ROI IP too so hopefully it'll be just the job.

The only 2 streams that were available for me were a Serie B game and an ice hockey game - did you have a VPN enabled?

Just did a screen-grab of what to expect. You can't (unfortunately) full screen the game, but it's still of a good enough size to watch on a small laptop screen. Plugging your laptop into a large screen tv should still give you sufficient viewing of the match along with match stats and current odds at the side.

I'm sure there's ways around lifting a flash player and making it full screen though. Alternatively, there's probably going to be firstrowsports streams or something using the footage off the betting site.

I didn't have to bet either. Lodged a tenner into the account there and without having to bet I was able to watch a stream of Stuttgart v Bremen.

I hope you charged that battery Nigel!

Far as I know it'll be region blocked for irish IP ranges but that's nothing a vpn or changed DNS can't get around. If they go the more awkward route and block Irish based BWIN accounts that's another level of hassle to try and get around. Do BWIN take paypal by any chance? If they do could setup a uk account and use paypal to deposit instead of an Irish card that they'd use to tie the account to the country and block the content then.

On the IT today they said it'll work out at 10k per club which is what, 120k a year? Piddly numbers in the grand scheme of things and then later in the article they said it'll be the equivalent of 10k in performance analysis stats the clubs will be given over the course of the year! Typical half arsed measure it seems from the problem step parents.

Decent picture there but then again they could be using the TV feed and it's in HD whereas ours will be SD

It could have been worse.

Mr A

I didn't have any VPN or anything set up to watch that game the other night, and I lodged to the BWin account with paypal.
