The United States has postponed meetings with the European Union which were scheduled for this week concerning online gambling. The EU wants to talk about the UIGEA, and how they feel it discriminates against European operators. The issue is that the law excludes offshore businesses, while local gambling like horse racing is permitted to operate.

This isn’t the first time this law has caused problems. A World Trade decision ruled in favor of Antigua and Barbuda, but the US opted to compensate the two countries and withdraw online gaming from its commitments to the WTO.

Remote Gambling Association made the original complaints, and the EU issued a formal questionnaire into the matter. U.S. Trade Representative Susan Schwab denied any form of discrimination against European operators, and charges were not based on nationality.

There has been no reason offered for the delays, and no other dates have been set for future meetings.
