Bwin, formerly known as Bet and Win, is the latest online sports gambling website besieged by governmental authorities resulting in the arrest of their Chief Executive Officers. It has been little over a week ago since CEO's of Bwin, Manfred Bodner and Norbert Teufelberger, were detained by French authorities and locked in jail. Having been released this last Thursday, the two prominent online gambling execs are now speaking out about the situation, and are doing so in a very outspoken and audible way, if you will.

Issuing a press conference under the guidance of their attorney's, the men brought attention to the increasing number of state-run gambling monopolies breaking Article 49 of the European Commission Treaty, including Germany, Austria and France. Thomas Talos - the duo's legal representation - cited that nothing is being done to stop them, while plans to continue growing monopolistic control over the casino gambling industry in each respective county are currently underway.

Upon being asked what their detainment was like, Bodner and Teufelberger responded that in addition to being subjected to "squalid conditions", the inconsistent manner in which France's legal process took place was an alarming site for them. Teufelberger went on to say that the speed in which the European Commission responded to the arrests and filed subsequent proceedings against France was quite reassuring. After their release on Thursday, the men were given a guarantee by Austrian authorities (Bwin is based in Austria, where both men reside as well) that no legal proceedings would be brought against them. Both men will be back in France in November to hear their charges and proceed further in the legal process.
