Broad Online Casino Issue for Governments

The Remote Gaming Association in the UK is not hiding the fact that the RGA is hoping that the US will alter its online caisno gambling policy, but the real thrust of the RGA’s assertions pertain to the US Department of Justice’s continued prosecution of European internet gambling companies. The EU has already negotiated with the US on the internet gambling issue previously and the terms of the trade compensation agreement were sealed as a matter of national security. With the negotiations completed the EU was done with the matter for a time. That all changed over the past year though as the RGA has pushed for the EU to re-enter into negotiations with the US government specifically on the issue of the unfair and continued prosecution of EU online casinos.

The RGA feels that the US Department of Justice unfairly targets European companies and that it needs to stop immediately. The US though is not really willing to come to the table with new terms and has dismissed the EU’s legitimate claim to negotiations about the issue because of the mere fact that the EU has encountered issues with online casino monopolies operating within the Union. But the RGA is really only looking for a solution to this pointed and key issue even though there is a much broader issue at stake right now that also needs to be addressed.

The RGA is willing to give the US government a pass on the fact that the UIGEA blocks offshore online casinos in contravention of established international trade agreements. Really, it comes down to the fact that European gambling companies are living in fear right now of US action and the RGA is pressuring the EU to resolve this issue as soon as possible.
