This Weekly Edition is brought to you from Barcelona, where Kate and the OCR Live team have attended the annual CAP Euro event. Here are highlights, news, opinions and even some poker tips from the iGaming conference.
The Online Casino Reports team has travelled to Spain, along with about 1,300 iGaming industry movers and shakers to attend the annual CAP Euro event. Over a weekend jam-packed with events, lectures, panel discussions, business meeting and parties, we had the chance to talk with the participants and bring you a few minutes of what's going on around the online gambling world.
Following are the topics covered in this Weekly Edition, which you can look for further coverage on coming OCR Live videos and OCR Weekly Editions.
Industry Leaders
We sat in on the CEO panel and heard the casino industry bigwigs talk about mobile gaming, advertising on TV, giant jackpot policies, and their vision for the coming years.
Exhibition Floors
In walking around the dozens of exhibition booths, we chatted with the affiliates. Meet the faces behind the casino sites, and hear about the latest on player promotions.

Apparently, the demand among casino affiliates in Australia is so high that CAP have organized a similar event for the local market to take place on 26-27 November, 2008.

We interviewed the marketing manager at Referback, a leading affiliate company established in 1999, for his perspective on the CAP Euro event and the industry at large.

Of course, participants wanted to talk about the ruling that called for the seizure of online gambling domains. We asked the questions and recorded their comments.
