While the most recent news in the world of online gambling is the Untied States recent push towards legalizing gambling internet sites, some countries are more opposed to the push than the staunchest of Senators. So just who are these opponents to America’s attempt to gain online casinos, are they right wing political groups or anti-gambling activists? Not even close, the newest opposition is coming from countries that consider online gambling to be a precious resource.

It’s the homes of these offshore gambling internet sites that are feeling attacked from both sides. While major American casino companies are pushing to legalize online gambling, the other side is trying to keep online casinos Out of American society, and off of their computers. This means that smaller places like Antigua and Barbuda are now feeling the weight of America’s left and right foot stomping all over their livelihood.

In fact many small countries located all across the globe have legalized the running of gambling internet sites from within their borders to help save struggling economies. These same small Caribbean island communities that are fighting to keep their best online casino customers, are often bending over backwards to make their islands vacation resorts to cater to American citizens and other tourists.

Islands like Antigua and Barbuda have very small and vulnerable economies, which are in dire need of a diversified economic base. Offshore casino services were introduced to the islands in the hopes that gambling internet sites would compliment their tourism industry.

The international community has highly praised these small island communities for their impressive commitment to keeping the highest standards for the gaming industry. Without any official estimates, figures indicate that offshore gambling internet gaming brings in more than EC$250 million each year to local economies in Antigua and Barbuda. An additional EC$200 million is estimated in indirect spin offs.

While workers in the gambling internet industry of Antigua and Barbuda are invoking memories of devastating economic loses because of Hurricane Katrina’s effect on a major gambling area in the US, many in these island communities are desperately trying to keep the same economic losses from their already struggling communities.

Last week the US Department of Justice examined many offshore gambling companies whose primary customers are US citizen, in the hopes of arresting and closing down offshore sites that “entice” US citizens to send their money offshore.

Locking US gates against these offshore gambling internet casinos would not only take thousands of Americans away from a favorite pastime, but would also contribute to the loss of 70% of the online casino customer base. This 70% loss would help to destroy the economies of many struggling counties, so why not just leave well enough alone?
