A new joint venture company called Catch My Bet Ltd has launched a branded TV betting Channel to UK customers on tvcatchup.com offering a range of betting and gaming facilities with live racing and sporting events via computer, iphone, ipad or games console.
Catch My Bet has been formed by UK-headquartered TVCatchup, a viewing platform for streaming free to air television in the internet TV sector, and Graham Martin – who founded Bonne Terre Limited (now a wholly owned subsidiary of BSkyB Group plc, operating as Skybet).
TV Catchup is an internet television service for viewing certain UK channels from free-to-air digital terrestrial and satellite broadcasters live without the use of a television receiver. The service re-broadcasts BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Channel Five and free to air Sky channels allowing users to watch from a choice of over forty-five free-to-air channels, all of which are preceded by streamed commercials.
A company spokesperson revealed that Catch my Bet will operate with localised management administering multi-language channels from its gaming portal. It will have local customer service and management in key markets and will further offer B2B gaming services to companies looking to outsource their operations.
Claiming 100 000 new monthly sign-up’s, TV Catchup says it has almost 10 million registered users.
