A business conference’s thrilling end
Internet gambling sites in Spain and Spanish media reports that the police in Spain dressed as Mossos d’Esquadra suddenly arrived at a hotel in Barcelona during the weekend where representatives of an Internet gambling marketing affiliate convention were partaking of a fun relaxed free roll poker contest. 

According to the reports, the Spanish authorities closed down the contest and removed gambling equipment appropriated at the scene of Barcelona’s posh coastal Princess Sofia hotel. Casino Affiliate Programs, the convention planners, have not yet made any response, however it does seem that no arrests were made. No additional specifics have become public although the raid is being debated on the CAP forums.
About forty two participants took part in the contest, according to the report’s sources in Spain, who had in the past passed the qualification line in Internet contests.
It seems that it didn’t help when the free roll essence of the tournament was brought to the police’s notice.
