Daily Mail Free lottery Draw

Dunwunderin

Have just noticed that this free daily draw is NOT open to N.Ireland residents although other UK residents are included in this freebie!
Does anybody know the reason for this strange behaviour?

I was listening to a program/new article on Radio Ulster recently (possibly a few months back) about this sort of thing and basically it isn't the fault of the company running the competition, it's to do with the gaming/gambling laws in Northern Ireland, ..... Hence you see also competitions run by the big supermarkets and big multinational brands etc and they "exclude" entrants from Northern Ireland..... basically have to say this or they would have to have separate product packaging just for Northern Ireland.....

Would agree - it is due to the backward gaming laws here in NI compared to the rest of the UK and in the republic.
