Antigua & Barbuda’s newest tactic in the Internet gaming fight with the United States is likely to cost millions of dollars – racking up a whopping US $40,000 tab a month.

The current holder of the title Gaming Regulator of the Year says the award is vindication for the gaming sector in Antigua and Barbuda.

Antigua & Barbuda is not prepared to impose sanctions on the United States. Minister of Finance Harold Lovell said yesterday, referencing the country’s ongoing dispute with the United States over Internet gaming.

Prime Minister Baldwin Spencer says he has told the United States that mediation may be the way to go, as the two countries seek to resolve their long running dispute over Internet gaming.

Antigua & Barbuda’s attorney in the country’s seven-year-old gaming dispute with the United States yesterday said the US Department of Justice’s reversed opinion on what forms of Internet gaming were covered by the Federal 1961 Wire Act should lead the way to a resolution of the matter.
