Rosecroft Race allegedly because slot expansion was not possible due to the

Department of Justice to Blame?
The dispute between Antigua, and the United States, that has gone all the way to the World Trade Organisation, could rest primarily on the shoulders of the U.S. Department of Justice. The WTO became involved in the dispute earlier this year when the U.S. banned all offshore online casino activities and effectively shut down Antigua’s primary source of income; the island’s economy relied on U.S. internet gambling revenue. But since the WTO stepped in as an intermediary on behalf of the rest of the world and the online casinos industry, the U.S. (more…)

Wexler a Friend of the Internet Gambler
The Swedish government has been targeted recently for running a monopoly on online casino betting in Sweden and consistently encouraging gambling to Swedish citizens. Critics are claiming that problem gambling is a growing concern in Sweden, yet up until Svenska Spel’s new software, there was no way to identify and help online casinos gambling addicts.
