Costa Rica has absolutely zero interest in seeing online sportsbooks taken down. Not sure of the numbers, but online sportsbooks employ several thousands of Ticos and Ticas. Having them all out of work would be a big blow to the their currently expanding economy…not to mention the well connected owners of these sportsbooks and the politicians they most likely support. It would be quite a surprise if Costa Rica bent over and let the U.S. do what they want regarding this.
I half expect Costa Rica to take the same tactic as Antigua and plead a case to the WTO.
