Almost certain to be because the legislation in those countries allows real money sites to operate.

Once the Casinos in New Jersey are offering online poker I am guessing we will see each one of them coming out with an app like this. The future is bright.

That's definitely true. Although plenty of other European markets are deregulated too (eg, Italy, France, Malta etc)...so I wonder why this has only launched in the UK and Austria?

Maybe it's a trial?

The UK is their biggest Market and Austria is where Bwin is based so they're starting out there and will look to expand as the year progresses.

Gotta be a boon to sit at the PC players, the tweeting type will be too distracted, and either miss tells, or crash their cars......I think it great these folks will all be self canceling.......
