WTO Says US Violates Trade Laws Over Online Gambling... Again

from the keep-doing-it-and-we'll-say-so-again dept

Back in March, the WTO ruled that US laws "criminalizing" online gambling for offshore were unfair restraint of international trade. The US promptly did... well... nothing. Now the WTO is saying that the US needs to open up their borders to international online casinos and that an earlier trade agreement said that the US would agree to ease those restraints. The US, not surprisingly, disagrees. As with the last time the WTO ruled on this topic, expect the US to do nothing -- or, even go further in the other direction by making US anti-gambling laws even stricter. Seems like an awful lot of regulation for a government that keeps claiming it's pro-free market.
