Executives Busted for Poker

Informal land gambling can get you in trouble with the local authorities in some countries if you’re not careful – unfortunately several attendees at the recent affiliate conference in Barcelona last week found that out the hard way. Local authorities raided the hotel where several of the delegates from the conference were engaging in an informal gambling poker game. Land gambling in Spain is only legal at the land casinos – even online casino gambling is taboo in the country with specific carve-outs in place for betting. The affiliate conference last week is one of the largest in the online casino gambling industry and the delegates for the conference travel from all over the world to participate in the multi-day event.

The conference officials have not released any additional information on which delegates and online casino gambling executives were involved in the land poker tournament bust. Initial information from the police indicate that no one was arrested in the bust but rather the police confiscated all of the gambling equipment affiliated with the poker tournament. The poker tourney in question was intended as a simple and informal free-roll event – undoubtedly not the only tourney that was played over the conference weekend. There is no indication as to why the Mossos d’Esquadra raided that particular event or who tipped off the police.

Interestingly though the freeroll tourney was a result of competition that extended from the online casino poker rooms – the more than 42 individuals present at the tournament in question used the internet to qualify for the event. Additional details concerning those involved and the such will be released as more information is provided from the conference officials, the Spanish police, and those land and online gamblers involved in the case.
