WTO Steps Back

Some in the online casinos and gambling industry are looking to the World Trade Organisation (WTO) as the leading organization to mediate the compensation negotiations between the United States and several prominent nations. And though the WTO has been involved throughout the beginning of the conflict, the WTO seems to be washing its hands of the whole online casinos gambling related situation.

In fact, the WTO has just wrapped up the Antigua versus the U.S. case that has lasted for years. The WTO panel came to a controversial decision to allow Antigua the right to ignore U.S. copyrights up to $21 million a year because the U.S. unfairly discriminates in its domestic online casinos industry.

Now that the Antigua issue is resolved, and the countries that qualify for compensation claims from the U.S. are decided, the WTO is stepping out of the situation – at least for the foreseeable future. The WTO is leaving the disputes and negotiations in the hands of the online casinos countries affected.

And though the WTO is no longer in the midst of the nitty gritty details of the online casinos related dispute, the organization is still involved to the point that it will enforce the negotiated decision that all countries agree is acceptable. Basically, the nations involved in the compensation negotiations are on their own as far as the negotiations are concerned, but the WTO is not so far out of the situation that the U.S. can ignore it’s commitments.
