U.S. online-gambling ban violates trade laws
 

The World Trade Organization, in its first decision on an Internet-related dispute, has ignited a political, cultural and legal tinderbox by ruling that the U.S. policy prohibiting online gambling violates its obligations under international trade law.

The ruling by a WTO panel Wednesday is being hailed by online casinos operators overseas as a major victory that could force the United States to liberalize its laws.

The decision stems from a case taken to the WTO in June by the island nation of Antigua and Barbuda, which licenses 19 companies that offer sports betting and casino games such as blackjack over the Internet.

I guess Pornstar2pac will be happy about this one, and most people's wallets wont :winkwink:

Only good thing to ever come out of the WTO :2 cents:

Come on, everyone gets lucky sooner or later :1orglaugh

Does anybody think the US is going to give a shit or listen to what any international body has to say?

Does anybody think that we are going to give a shit or listen to what the US has to say?

lol.....it's been 6 years like this. No matter what people are going to gamble. there is NO way to stop the bettor from it. Other countries including the UK, are making millions and millions from us everyday. It's time that the US makes it legal so Vegas can come in and make the government billions of dollars in tax rev.

Right winger assholes trying to stop adults from gambling!
