A Litany of Complaints: 2

Moving beyond the controversial UIGEA, the US has still not resolved the ongoing situation with the World Trade Organization and Antigua and Barbuda. Antigua’s economy was virtually destroyed when the US forced many of the online casinos operating and licensed out of Antigua out of the US market. The WTO has intervened on the issue but the US government has largely ignored the decisions and ruling of the WTO arbitration panel. The Antiguan Minister of Finance went into direct negotiations with the US Trade Representatives but to no avail at this point – the two parties negotiated all throughout the spring and the summer and were unable to come to a suitable compromise.

Then there is the question of the most recent domestic situation involving the foreign online casino gambling industry. The Kentucky governor has brought international attention right into a small Kentucky courthouse with the decision to confiscate more than 140 online caisno related domain names. Last month the Kentucky judge in the case approved the seizure of the domain names of even foreign listed online casinos unless the sites comply by a certain date and block Kentucky gamblers from accessing and gambling at the sites.

All of these on going issues with the US authorities have really centered on Dikshit’s guilty plea. There are few in the industry who believe that Dikshit should have made the guilty plea and have used this situation as a sounding board for all of the controversy and surrounding the US governments continued and unfair attacks on foreign internet gambling companies.
