An Unbiased Look at the W.T.O. vs U.S. Debates

Old clichés normally prove true, and this case is no different. Some countries are vilifying the United States because of the recent controversy over the World Trade Organisation’s ruling in favor of Antigua—but there are two sides to every story. Basically the online casino industry—or lack thereof in the United States, is the root concern that started forced Antigua to seek help from the WTO. Now though, the media is reporting mixed sentiments—has the U.S. violated trade agreement? is the U.S within its rights to limit online casinos access over a decade after trade agreements?

Once the United States banned online casinos from operating within the states, many other countries were devastated by the lack of income and revenue that U.S. based players brought to their companies. Antigua is one of the countries that first raised concerns that the U.S. was in violation of global trade agreements. Then, just last month the WTO held a summit to discuss the U.S.’s anti-online casino gambling legislation and the WTO found that the U.S. is in fact in violation of global trade agreements that have been in place since the early 90s.

The debates stemming from this ruling, and the U.S.’s reaction are highly polarized, and mostly biased depending on where one’s loyalties lie. So here is a look at what occurred after the WTO’s ruling.
