The closing date to settle on compensation alleged over U.S. action to remove online gaming from its agenda of trade commitment has been extended from Oct. 22 to Dec. 14. WTO members that have asked for compensations include The European Union, Japan, India, Canada, Australia, Costa Rica, Macao and Antigua and Barbuda.
The U.S. took the decision to withdraw online gambling from its trade commitments after it lost a WTO case to Antigua and Barbuda. Antigua claimed U.S to pay $3.4 billion in compensation. The other WTO members who are against US online gambling ban are expected to be seeking greater access to earlier constrained markets rather than money.
