now I write this as I am confused which in my case is not a stae of mind that I am unfamiliar with but to get to my point of interest, I must admit that for some reason there are are one or two Irish players that I run into that irk me as they seem to be bad players but also seem to get goddam lucky in coinflips against me , ok I know good players shouldnt get in to many coinflips but I digress. My question is this the other night on TV I viewed an advert for PKRpoker and at the bottom of the screen I noticed a banner saying not available in Northern Ireland well I think it said Northern might of been Ireland anyway this is the first time I have seen an Irish connection to band cuontries is it something to do with there local gaming laws??

well obviously laws are different between UK and ROI since they are different countries. Not sure about why northern ireland would be any different from other parts of the UK.
But in any case the reason for the disclaimer would be that PKR doesn't offer the same bonus for irish as mainland britain. And since the UK and ireland share some TV they have to put it in the tv advert.
I believe Northern ireland have normal UK tv but ROI only share sky with us. So it's more likely the advert said not available for northern ireland.

I think that the reason can be the region country laws that not aprove the poker playing in this region or country.... you can send a e-mail directly to pkr asking about, this is te best way to get a correct aswer...

i think u have got it mixed up with R.O.I as its a different country its usually that,because u are in northern ireland u are the same as uk,just like people in scotland and wales and they use the euro in the R.O.I so its prob to do with that and their laws!!
