IGC Supports Gambling Self RegulationJune 27 - The IGC (Interactive Gaming Council) recently came out in support of Utah Attorney General, Mark Shurtleff's opposition to the World Trade Organization's ruling condoning foreign online gambling companies operating in non-gambling American states. The Attorney General sent a letter to the WTO last week, which criticized the ruling stating that gambling rules and regulations should be dealt with autonomously by the individual states. Rick Smith, IGC executive director commented, 'We agree with the Attorney General that anti-gambling states like Utah should be allowed gambling self regulation regarding their gambling policies. 'However, equally the federal government should not be allowed to interfere with pro-gambling states such as Nevada or U.S. territories such as the U.S. Virgin Islands,' he concluded. |
