Brings up another good point. There are other WTO members who have curtailed Gambling online like Austrailia and some like China dont have it at all. So why the uproar about the US not having it? Again, looks to some like typical countries looking for a Free Handout at the US Taxpayers expense. Countries like India and China has not had enough of a handout at the expense of Americans.
Again, when countries join the WTO, they submit a list of trade requirements. They can say things like: everyone can sell apples in my country, but definitely no oranges.
These agreements are then binding, and there is a process to go through to change them.
We don’t know under what conditions these countries joined. I don’t have the time to research it, do you?
What we do know is that the US set no limits on online gambling and did not go through channels to get one in place. So now they are in breach of contract.
Breach of contract is not acceptable anywhere, anytime, in any jurisdiction and under any circumstances. Contracts are the backbone of human interaction and trade.
