As Dom indicated, I have been traveling since the beginning of this month with limited internet access due to my schedule, hence it was difficult for me to post a reply on this matter.
The only reason why bwin has NOT yet been removed from CAP is due to a commitment that was made to me in Budapest by one of the senior management (who will rename nameless for the time being) to supply with certain documentation which I would then review with some influential affiliates in the industry to work towards a reasonable compromise, which would alleviate their internal “pressures” while at the same time not damage their affiliate relationships.
I have yet to receive this documentation.
Therefore, we e-mailed bwin with a final demand and now a call has been scheduled to discuss the items requested during our meeting in Budapest.
Under no circumstances am I expecting the said documentation to change our outlook (or the rest of the community’s outlook, for that matter) on the recent bwin changes, but having more knowledge of the situation and the rationale behind such a “dangerous” decision on their part will likely lead to a compromise that everyone can live with.
If anyone has questions about CAP’s position on the bwin matter, please feel free to contact me directly via e-mail.

Lastly, it is my goal to establish a page on CAP that outlines our views on what we will allow or not allow when it comes to programs which are allowed a presence here. I don’t expect this to happen right away but it is on our radar and something we wish to properly assess.
Thank you,
Warren
