- Title
Clash in the Caribbean: Antigua and U.S. Dispute Internet Gambling and GATS.
- Authors
Kelly, Joseph M.
- Abstract
This article presents an interview with Joseph M. Kelly, former U.S. consultant to Antigua on interactive gambling regulations. When asked about charges filed by the government of Antigua against the U.S., he said Antigua alleged that U.S. prohibition of cross-border gambling and its anti-Internet gambling policies prevented credit card companies and banks from honoring Antigua's online gaming transactions. The U.S. government insists that any interactive wagering must be legal in both the jurisdiction of the bettor and operator. A panel of the World Trade Organization concluded General Agreements on Trade in Services (GATS) had jurisdiction since the U.S. failed to exclude gambling from its GATS communities.
