WTO to probe limits on Internet gambling

The WTO on Wednesday set up a panel to investigate whether U.S. restrictions on Internet gambling comply with international trade rules.

The Caribbean country of Antigua and Barbuda had asked for the World Trade Organization to set up the panel after consultations with the United States failed to yield a solution.

The dispute centers on whether Washington should drop prohibitions on Americans placing bets in online casinos. A previous WTO ruling said that some U.S. laws were in line with international commerce rules, but others were not.

“The United States has been busy passing legislation that is directly and unequivocally contrary to the ruling,” Antigua told a meeting of the WTO’s dispute settlement body.
