Antigua unhappy with UK whitelist omission

By Go-Bingo - online bingo news on January 24, 2008 9:48 AM |

The Caribbean island nation of Antigua says it is disappointed by a UK government decision to not include it on its 'whitelist' of jurisdictions allowed to advertise online gaming products in the UK.

The decision comes at a time when Antigua is still embroiled in a World Trade Organisation dispute with US over the US decision to implement restrictive legislation in 2006 effectively banning non-US companies from operating online gaming businesses to the US market.

Antigua's omission from the whitelist will affect any online bingo halls and online bingo games operators working through Antiguan jurisdiction and licenses.  A number of UK-based online bingo operators have ties to Antigua which may need to be changed for them to continue operations.

Antigua's Finance Minister Dr. Errol Cort made it known to reporters his country was surprised and disappointed by the UK government's decision not to grant advertising whitelist status to Antigua.
