I hope you are not talking about Hotel Amsterdam – I have never seen smaller rooms for the price…
Your expenses are paid by your company, and I can see how it is a great event for the aff programs and such.
Also – we dont need to replace nothing – we still have Canada, USA and UK, despite what the PlayTech casinos may tell you. France and Germany are in turmoil over online gambling and we may need to “replace” THEM pretty soon 
.
The rest of the non-english speaking countries will generate any type of profits for 1-2 websites and that’s it. If you dont speak the language – any marketing efforts besides SE placement will be proven worthless.
As far as deal making – there are plenty of aff programs which now offer 70% REV for foreign players, without meeting anyone – there is no better deal than this – any higher – and they will work on minus. I am sure if you bring enough traffic they themselves will offer you 50% after the promotional period…
And you will surely not become a “Player” by going to the CAC, as the affiliate side of the business does not have players. Players are those who can “make or break” and there is no such thing as far as affiliates go.
