Way back in 2004, Antigua and Barbuda (let’s call it Antigua for short) won a somewhat landmark ruling from the World Trade Organization (WTO) that the U.S. infringed its rights regarding internet gambling, including poker.  The ruling presented the opportunity for Antigua to seek sanctions against the U.S.  But nothing much transpired in the interim.  (Just a hunch, but Antigua may really really really value its trade agreements with the U.S. and not want to jeopardize them lightly.)  Looks like the calm may be ending though.  Antigua has signaled that it is considering approaching the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) to sanction the U.S. and get the money/relief the WTO long ago said the struggling island nations are entitled to.  Back in 2004 when the story first broke commentators suggested that Antigua’s leverage might be enough to force the U.S. to change its online gambling (or, at least online poker) stance.  Maybe this recent development will reinvigorate that possibility.
