Adding to the momentum of possible US online gambling regulation, the European Union today announced an investigative probe into the US laws that prosecute foreign companies while providing safe haven for American ones (such as horse betting sites that accept bets online)… If, at the end of the investigation they find these hypothesis’ to be true, which they will, they will then bring the case to the WTO, just like Antigua did, and the EU, obviously, is much more intimidating than lil-old-Antigua…
The probe/investigation will last approximately 6 months.
