Small victory to Antigua and Barbuda
December 23, 2007, 11:13 am (3 years ago)After long time of claims and negotiations with disputes and fails over online casinos, internet gambling and many other issues, and a few months for waiting for debts, the governmental authorities of Antigua and Barbuda should be disappointed in the award of only $twenty one million dollars for year in re accruing trading sanctions. The case announced in Geneva on friday by the World Trade Organization arbitration panel due to Antigua’s request for 3.4 billion dollars, and the United States response that they should pay only $500 000.
The two countries have been arguing over discriminatory internet gambling and online casino practices which took out Antigua and Barbuda from the profitable American online casino and internet gambling market.
This small island nation successfully fought the US giants, with the WTO rulings going against the US, leading to some sort of victory and hopefully approving the UIGEA in the next few months.
