this is kind of ominous.

Antigua's Gaming Director, Ron Maginley noted that the online gambling jurisdiction of the Isle of Man recently gave notice to gaming companies that it intends to close all gaming-related accounts.

“Already, some companies here have been given notice," Maginley said. "Under the law here, gaming companies are required to put ‘gaming’ in their names and in relation to getting accounts, certainly the local banks here are showing reluctance to offer new accounts, even to companies registered here.

This part of the article is, to put it in one word, obtuse.

The person quoted is from Antigua. He refers to the jurisdiction of The Isle of Man (U.K.). In the second paragraph, where does *here* refer to?

I believe Antigua is part of the British Commonwealth, but not under direct rule of the U.K.

Thus, is the person quoted simply saying that Banks on the Isle of Man would shut down Antiguan gaming-related accounts?

The whole article is confusing.
