Recently Eli Lehrer A., the author for the American Spectator publication, has released a work on the possible impact of a main trade dispute with the EU whether the online gambling question can be resolved amicably. At present the EU Delegates are in the United States in order to investigate the US land and online gambling industry and also the North American policies and legislation that are currently determining the actions and decisions of the US government concerning the gambling industry. And whereas the Trade Representatives of the USA are thought to be quite nonchalant in relation to the gambling situation in the country, the European Union seems to be very serious. Thus, Lehrer states that the United States might face some terrible trade consequences in case the federal government continues to carry out restricting gambling policy and to refuse to cooperate with the delegate investigation of the EU.

The policies of the USA in relation to online casino gambling are sure to have a bad record worldwide, and Lehrer writes that the UIGEA is quite absurd taking into account the US position on casino gambling is pro-gambling.

In 1970s, when there were casinos in an only state, federal laws suppressed the public will represented gambling. Nowadays, gambling is legal in almost all the states, and gambling debate has ended in favors of legalization.

The consequences, both positive and negative, of widespread legal gambling have touched everybody. There is a clear risk of a serious trade dispute and this is an additional reason for the USA to undo its federal gambling laws and set up new government regulation on online gambling basing on consumer preferences and needs.
