A former Mayo captain has called on the GAA to scrap the streaming service.
Alan Dillon, a current Fine Gael TD, says Hurling and Football should be free to air for telly viewers.
Deputy Dillon said: “Over the last two weekends, two Munster hurling matches, both high-quality games, were broadcast live only on GAAGO. People were forced to pay for it or miss out.
Adding to that, he said this is "unfair," and believes it goes against the ethos of the volunteer-led organisation.
This comes after groups like Age Action Ireland warned older people are being "digitally excluded" from the GAA.
The GAAGo single game price for Cork - Tipp is €12. A terrace ticket is €20.

Meanwhile, Tipperary TD Mattie McGrath has called on the GAA and RTÉ to be brought before a committee of TDs and Senators.
Deputy McGrath said: “The decision not to air several high-profile matches on RTE, particularly in the highly contested Munster Championship is hugely concerning."
He continued, "...particularly for our elderly and rural citizens who may not have access to reliable broadband or the ability to access matches on GAA GO."
The Tipperary TD concluded by saying he will raise the matter at the meeting of an Oireachtas Committee this week.
