Absolute didn't have as many players in the event as, for example, Stars, but they did have several dozen players and I know for a fact that Absolute staff took care of their registration and direct payment to Harrah's. I was there at the time and know the people at Absolute who did the work -- and waited in line! I'm not saying that Harrah's is lying, but... Here's another question. If they aren't going to take online gambling ops $ anymore, does that mean that they are going to shut out all the .net's from the Gaming Life Expo? And if so, why even bother with the GLE? That show floor was like 85% online operators. This is putting the "clusterf*ck" in "clusterfu*k."
