A couple of points:
1) I Have heard from some large books that the France Visa Ban HAD gone into effect. Most scrambled to process from other countries.
2) Amsterdam: There are many things brewing in Europe, both FOR and against online casinos.
The event has been scheduled to take place April 15-16, 2004 at the NH Krasnapolsky hotel. It may be moved forward by one week, but that is unlikely.
I’m not concerned about an event in Amsterdam that focuses on Marketing of an online casino. Neither would the casino establishment there or the governement. The Netherlands government is only acting now to try to stop casinos from taking bets from Dutch citizens, just like the way the US is trying to stop casinos from taking bets from their citizens. There is a whole world out there beyond the borders of one country.
This time, I have the event at the Krasnapolsky hotel, which is adjacent to the Red Light district….More fun at night for you guys 
But during the day….I still run the event like college, and it is stikll a business conference, focusing on marketing and advertising for the casino industry. Increasing Traffic and Conversions will be the topics.
