Some Bets Are Off
The strangely selective and self-defeating
crackdown on Internet gambling.
By Jacob Sullum
Reason.com
On July
16, 2006,
the CEO of BetOnSports.com attacked an anti–online gambling bill that the House
of Representatives had overwhelmingly approved a few days before. “We want to
be regulated,” David Carruthers wrote in the Baltimore Sun.
“We want to be taxed. We want to be licensed. Instead of dealing with us
constructively to address issues of mutual concern, these legislators prefer to
pretend that they can control the Internet. Instead of protecting the public,
they would rather waste time on public posturing to their partisan base.”

The many faces of
legislations concerning online gambling
by Arthur Crowson
PokerListings.com
May 19, 2008 - The gambling laws in Europe are often quite complex. First,
there is each country’s legislation, which might say one thing; and then there
is the EU legislation, which might
contradict the individual country’s law.
The legislations regarding gambling
online in the Netherlands, for instance, are now up for
discussions. The Dutch government claims online gambling is illegal while EU
has given the Netherlands a final warning before it issues
court action over their gaming restrictions.

Time to Fold
Wall Street Journal Europe
April 10, 2008
A trans-Atlantic spat over online gambling may help rewrite the rules of the game for Internet commerce across borders. For a change, the Europeans stand on the side of free trade, while America dabbles in regulatory overreach.
The European Union last month launched an internal probe into whether the U.S. Justice Department selectively enforces its antigambling laws against European online firms that offer wagers on sports events. Brussels is making a narrow legal point that Washington discriminates against Europeans by simultaneously permitting U.S. Internet horse betting. That's against World Trade Organization rules, and the case may end up there.
The U.S. last year lost a similar WTO online gambling case against Antigua and Barbuda. The island nation argued that U.S. online gambling rules violated Washington's GATT commitments to open its market in "recreational, cultural and sporting services." The U.S. countered that its policies were justified to protect public morals and public order, a legitimate exception under WTO rules. But the WTO panel ruled that America wasn't applying its restrictions equally to foreigners and domestic operators. U.S. online horse-betting sites aren't banned.

Where the votes are
Americans treasure freedom; the party that gets serious about giving us liberty will win the future
Los Angeles Times - March 20, 2008
By Nick Gillespie and Matt Welch
Key highlights: Legalize online gambling. At least since the mid-1970s, betting has been something Americans love to do. A 2006 poll found that 78% of Americans believe the government should not "restrict what adults do on the Internet in the privacy of their own homes." Yet the feds are waging an unwinnable war on online gambling -- even incurring a World Trade Organization sanction for jailing the head of a legal, Britain-based operation when he changed planes in Dallas.
Make the Internet tax moratorium permanent. Speaking of online freedom, the Internet Tax Fairness Act of 1998 banned state and local governments from levying sales and access taxes in cyberspace. That was back in the days before the Net economy -- and telecommuting and various other adjunct activities -- had become a mass phenomenon. Every few years, the moratorium comes up for renewal. The party of the future -- even the party of today -- will be the first one to make the ban permanent.

The National Council on Problem Gambling and the Online Poker Industry
Pocketfives Feb 21, 2008 - The organization finds itself, like the online poker industry, stuck in a grey area with the passage of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act and development of the bill’s enforcement regulations. PocketFives.com sat down with Whyte to get his take on recent industry developments.

Antigua seeks WTO arbitration in U.S. gambling dispute
GENEVA (Reuters) January 31, 2008 - Antigua has asked the World Trade Organization (WTO) to arbitrate in a dispute over gambling with the United States, its lawyer in the case said on Thursday.
