As we approach the end of the week, online bingo people are going to be very interested to see if anything develops in the WTO dispute in which the European online gambling industry is seeking compensation for the US’ decision to renege on its treaty obligations to operate fair and free markets.

Friday is the day the WTO has to decided on whether or not to pursue claims against the US which could see billions in compensation paid to Europe’s online gambling industry.  A few online bingo games concerns may see some of this money – if it ever gets paid.

Of course, I’m assuming the US will loose its case and stump up with the money it owes.  Many free online bingo operators burned by UIGEA last year would no doubt caution me against any assumptions when it comes to the US,… and they are probably right.

However, I’m going to shelve my usual cynical tendencies and go for the positive thought that justice may finally be served for all the damage US policy has caused to honest online bingo and online gaming businesses over the last year.
