Re: WTO ruling come and gone......
[ QUOTE ]
The Appellate Body's report on the issue states that gambling services are scheduled under the GATS and that the U.S. must therefore treat foreign providers of gambling services the same as it treats domestic providers...... .......Considering the almost complete absence of any discussion among American policy-makers about the WTO dispute, it is easy to speculate that the U.S. simply has no intention of complying with Appellate Body report. A sad fact of the matter, however, is that the United States brings more disputes to the WTO than does any other nation, and its failure to comply in this case ought to seriously jade the reputation of the organization.

Re: WTO ruling come and gone......
Quoted from the article/ruling:
"The Appellate Body felt that there are sufficient differences between traditional and interactive forms of gambling that they be classified differently, and it agreed with U.S. arguments that interactive gambling brings increased risks of fraud, money laundering, compulsive gambling and underage gambling, and might therefore be prohibited in some cases in order to protect public order and morality." |

The US does whatever it wants whenever it wants for good or bad. We're basically a gangster nation.
