Default Re: industry giants say, \"Not so fast\"

I suspect that the major sites will claim:

1) Because of the carve outs for US-based businesses (for horseracing, fantasy sports leagues), the new law will violate WTO agreements by discriminating against foreign-based businesses. They will claim that the US-based businesses are essentially in the same sector (i.e. internet gaming) and, as such, competitors.

2) Therefore, they are not going to cut off US players until a WTO tribunal rules on the matter.
