There is little doubt that the online gambling world, at least on the European side of the Atlantic Ocean, is alive and well. This notion can be demonstrated by following the affairs involving the online payment solutions provider, Neteller.

While its former co-founders are being investigated by the authorities in the United States under the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, passed in October, 2006, the company has announced it will take the leading sponsor role in the upcoming EiG 2007 - the 6th Annual European i-Gaming Congress and Expo.

The money processing firm, like the industry as a whole, strives on in its pursuit of greater activity, satisfying a growing demand in Europe for quality online gambling. What better site to do so and prove your intentions - for Neteller and for the rest of the companies that are involved in the business - than Barcelona.

Taking place between the 2nd and the 4th of October, 2007, the show will be the biggest of the year and possibly the biggest to date. The European marketplace will thus establish itself as today's hottest market, with a record number of exhibitors and service providers showing their products on the expanded floor and over a full three-day schedule.

Barcelona in autumn might be an ideal vacation as it is. With the exhibit and show scheduled for early October, hotel rooms are expected to fill up. Many in the industry plan to be there. In fact, they will not miss it for the world, certainly not for Europe - a growing multi-billion Internet gambling market that is holding a big sign up that says "Come in and join the ride, gambling providers and fans alike!"
