Capital instituted the restriction upon discovering that a huge % of the bandwidth it was paying for was being used by people who were not betting there. It costs nothing to have an account and out of state customers are welcome.
Many ADW's restrict video to customers betting $X per month. Capital has no minimums. Capital also offers many contests and events online for account holders only. If you bet online with Capital you recieve track odds.

Capital OTB sells commercial time on its programming. By delivering the shows to more internet viewers, it serves its advertisers better. I suspect they have not lowered rates from a year ago yet are reaching far less viewers with this restriction.

Did you bother to read what Linny just wrote or did you prefer pontificating?
