UK Alternative to U.S. Ban

The UK is increasingly promoting the idea in the United States that regulation of the online casinos industry is a positive alternative to the prospect of the U.S. paying the European Union billions of dollars in compensation for last year’s U.S. withdrawal from the internet gambling market. Several interest groups and the UK Commission have approached the U.S. Congress and politicians about ending the WTO dispute by passing neutralizing legislation that would reverse the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act which effectively ended the U.S. online casino gambling industry.

The EU Commission, Mandelson has spoken with both politicians in Washington, Congress, and U.S. trade representatives about the EU’s interest in reestablishing online casinos in the U.S. rather than the estimated $100 billion dollar compensation claim that many have reported the EU has filed with the World Trade Organisation.

Then, beyond just the EU, other UK based interest groups are weighing in on the issue and pressing the U.S. to offer up licensing and regulation as opposed to a complete ban. The UK Safe and Secure Internet Gambling Initiative spokesperson, Jeffrey Sandman, remarked on their opinion on the U.S. online casino gambling ban and subsequent U.S. WTO problems. He notes, "Rather than negotiating away settlements that could negatively impact the U.S. economy, the Administration and U.S. Congress should seek a more sensible policy solution and regulate Internet gambling.”
