Requested Action from UK Online Casinos

The industry news is alight with the fact that a delegation of EU representatives are currently in Washington DC seeking to resolve some of the ongoing issues that EU companies and online casinos have had with the US government. The US passed the controversial UIGEA legislation nearly two years ago and although nearly all of the major EU online casinos pulled out of the US market with the passage of the UIGEA, the US Department of Justice and governmental bodies are still investigating and prosecuting online casino gambling companies that have ever operated within the market.

The EU online casinos are adamant that the US government and officials are overstepping their bounds as a result of existing trade agreements and as such has asked the European Union to investigate the matter on behalf of the internet gambling companies that could potentially face legal action from the US government if the situation continues as it is.

The entire worldwide online casino gambling industry has actually kept a watchful eye on the US’s gambling policies and prosecutorial activities and most nations agree that the Bush Administration’s actions in regards to foreign internet gambling companies is illegal according to trade agreements. Additional concerns from online gambling companies and other nations stem from the fact that the US government has actually insulted the EU delegation twice now – by not responding to the detailed survey and by the abrupt postponement of last month’s scheduled EU delegation meeting. As things progress (or not progress) the case is increasingly looking like it will have to find resolution at the World Trade Organization.
