The Caribbean country of Antigua and Barbuda has asked for consultations with Washington over U.S. restrictions on Internet gambling, a step toward establishing a WTO panel to investigate whether the laws comply with international trade rules, according to a document made public Tuesday.

The communication from Antigua, dated June 8, asked the United States to suggest dates to hold talks within two weeks.

If no solution were agreed between the two parties within the 15-day period, a World Trade Organization would establish a panel to report on U.S. compliance within 90 days. That decision can then be appealed by either side.

The dispute centers on whether Washington should drop prohibitions on Americans placing bets in online casinos. A previous WTO ruling said that some U.S. laws were in line with international commerce rules, but others were not.

"Antigua and Barbuda considers that the United States has taken no measures to comply with the recommendations and rulings," the statement said.

The U.S. contends that Internet gambling should be prohibited because it violates some U.S. state laws, and told the WTO's dispute settlement body in April that it believed its laws were in line with trade rules.

With all the pressure from the outside and the inside, you would think even the American Gov't would see that banning would be a bad move for online.
