Thanks a lot for letting me in on the details. The only reason they are this massive in Germany must be this quasi monopoly and the fact that they absolutely blasted the TV screens with ads. Until….that law by the institutional court got passed and now you can´t find a single ad on TV anymore.
Anyway, as you said I rather send my traffic to good European bookmakers such as Betsson, Eurobet, Bet365 etc. in hope of good retention.
Since I also saw that Bwin engaged in a fair bit of empire building by buying pokerroom.com and their other properties I wouldn´t feel quite confident that my players will not receive extensive mailings for offers from all these other places without me getting credit. I´m sure they do that. These two Austrian guys at the helm of bwin are sneaky bastards.
