This show is a total rip off and should be taken off the air. Last night there was a game which went on for two hours. Nobody got the solution. It was move to matches and get the highest total. The solution was shown very quickly at the end and it was not even a number just some sum. Totally ripping people off. They have been warned already but unlike england where i think they got banned they will be allowed to run there and continue to rip people off. Joke.

The solution was some equation. I trying to find it on there website. I sending a complaint. Its a joke. I have not rang it as i know its a rip off but hate to see these parasites rip people off.

No i didnt watch it all. Say it at the start and was watching something else came back at the end. Its some rip off. They must be raking it in. I think they are banned in the uk or just banned from itv. As i know itv used to run one in the uk. Now they are doing it from northern ireland and irish players are allowed.

I'm fairly sure it's one one of the (main) UK t.v. stations (thought it was ITV too as it's on at the same time as it's Irish equivalent).

This crowd should be locked up

Totally its a total rip off. Tonight they are easy but only started watching a bit just to see if it was the same as the one they removed in england. Its a worse rip off. Playing on the vulnerable. Total rip off. The BCC has upheld something like 29 complaints. In england that would result in a hugh fine and been taken off the air. Here its still running.

Theres a regulator alright. They upheld i think 32 out of 33 complaints so far. But where as in england they ended up being fined and removed i dont think they have any powers. Or if they do they are not using them. Typical of us. TV3 should be ashamed of themselves as they are getting a cut or getting paid to let 3 hours to these parasites.

how many calls would they get a night?
|
|
By:
Dont know but i reckon they are making a shed load. Someone kid done 400 eur on his dads home phone on night. In england they made millions before it was banned. I remember in the uk they where getting 400 calls a minute. Dont know what it is here as they dont have to tell. They are making alot out of it. And will continue to do so till its banned. They are in canada as well dont know if they are banned there yet.

How are they getting away with this scam. Watched a bit last night towards the end. Don't know how long the show went on for. Some triangle puzzle. Presenter said she had 160 wrong answers so i figure it was on for a while. Think calls cost 1.50 per minute. Then towards the end the last caller got money even if they got the wrong answer. The wrong answer amount was the actual puzzle answer. She kept saying its the last two minutes for about twenty five minutes. How are they getting away with this scam. Presenter saying we need to give you more time because i want to give away money is stupid. Also saying theres no one ringing in to take the money is just plain lies. ITV did this before and i think where slated for it and had to take the show of the air. ITV own some of TV3 so i think they are trying the same trick this side of the pound. Gangsters. |

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Play_TV_Ireland Play TV is a late night/early morning phone-in gameshow produced by Telemedia InteracTV and broadcast by TV3 Ireland. The show is broadcast live every night of the week, Monday to Sunday, from 12:00am to 3:00am. Presume one could find the company accounts to find out exactly what the turnover is ? ]:) And yes I did ring fyi (once, to see what the scam was about !) Broadcasting Authority of Irelands has the ultimate sanction, under the Broadcasting Act, 2009, to force a programme off air for persistent breaches of its contract. However, BAI spokesman Brian Furey said there was, as yet, no mechanism to fine broadcasters for such breaches, although the Act provided for fines of up to 250,000. |

I was stupid enough after a few cans of cider to ring in one night and spend around twenty quid. Its a total scam. Why are they allowed rip people off? I know its Ireland and we allow people get away with ripping off etc but this show takes the biscuit. People gamble more in a recession and Im sure there are many unfortunates losing their rent and food budgets on this scam!
