I had forgotten about this and thought it was a dead issue. Apparently not. The World Trade Organization had ruled against the U.S. and for Antiqua in it's complaint about the U.S. not allowing internet gaming. I remember being excited that the US lost, but it changed nothing.

Antigua's government is saying the bill, drafted by Reid and Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.), mischaracterizes a long-running trade dispute between Antigua and the United States. They argue the legislation takes specific aim at offshore online gambling operators to favor U.S. companies, hurting Antigua's Internet gaming industry in the process.
