U.S.

Should the U.S. legalize and regulate Internet gambling as the UK did recently with the Gambling Bill?

The Cross-Border Betting Dispute between Antigua and the U.S. represents a considerable motivational force for such an initiative, to say the least. Visitors who support the proposition are invited to assist Antigua’s legal team by submitting photos of U.S. gambling ads. Find out more on how you can help here.

Who is Mario Cisneros and why was he still threatening to take out the Internet even after the Yes vote on Prop 64, which curtailed California’s infamous super-sized lawsuits – or so we thought.

The U.S., Canada and beyond: More than a year ago, we began tracking prosecutions under the broad U.S. federal wire fraud statute, a law we felt might be especially relevant to Internet gambling service providers worldwide.

Anti-terrorist legislation and contentious trade issues throughout the world (see our Caribbean forum and our Canadian forum for starters) are making certain borders increasingly surly if not outright hostile.
