Antigua, Barbuda to resolve gambling dispute with US

The government of Antigua and Barbuda, says it has joined forces with the country's private sector gaming industry, to resolve the ongoing dispute with the United States, over online gambling services.

The contention between the two countries, has lasted for nearly a decade, and surrounds restrictions the US has placed on internet gaming.

In a statement released today, the government of Antigua and Barbuda  says it and the private sector, will fight for billions of dollars, lost in potential gaming revenue, caused by the failure of the US to abide by the World Trade Organisation, WTO's, rulings on the issue.

The WTO has ruled in Antigua's favour in the dispute.

The Antiguan government says that a recovery of the remote gaming industry, would have a substantially positive impact on Antigua and Barbuda's ailing economy.
