Antigua Holds All the Aces Against the USA
WTO rules against US gambling laws
In a great result for the little guys, the WTO yesterday upheld a case by Antigua and Barbuda that claimed it the US broke trade rules when prohibiting online gambling.
The US, who have been trying to ban all online gambling by using a 43 yr old law called 'the wire act' which bans cross-state sports betting are naturally planning to appeal, claiming that the "panel report is deeply flawed".
According to the BBC onlineThe ruling claims the US breaches a 1994 global deal which allows free trade.
Naturally, the US pulled out all the stops to oppose this ruling and even brought up their old nugget about 'public morals clause' - the WTO turned it down.
The Americans called the rebuff "shocking and troubling"
Bummer.

When they shut down Vegas, people will listen to the Yanks when they say they want to ban online gambling.
Until they close Vegas ans pull the plug on the flashing lights of the gambling capital of the world, no one worth their salt will listen to them.
Bummer.
But thats the irony.
Vegas is desperate for online gambling - they want to control the online licenses. So far they've failed to do anything successfully online and its probably killing them! (MGM Mirage, Harrahs, Park Place, Venetian - all tried or aborted)
