Antigua
denied entry on UK whitelist |
| January 15,
2008: The UK Department of Culture, Media and Sports,
has refused to include Antigua on the United Kingdom’s
Internet gambling “whitelist" despite an extensive review of
the internet gambling regulations, according to a release
from the department. Appearing on the "white list" would
have permitted the Eastern Caribbean country to legally
advertise their gambling services in the UK, a privilege
typically reserved for European Economic Area (EEA)
countries. |

The release
confirmed that Tasmania will be added to the "whitelist" of
countries or jurisdictions allowed to advertise remote
gambling in the UK as if it were an EEA state. This decision
follows a reconsideration of Tasmania’s application after
the introduction of amending legislation to their tax
regime. A full assessment of their application was made to
ensure it met the UK Government’s ‘white listing’ criteria
published in January 2007. After 31 January 2008, gambling
operators licensed in Tasmania will be able to begin
advertising.
Also failing to make the ‘whitelist’ was the Canadian
reserve of Kahnawá:ke .
The States of Alderney and the Isle of Man are the only two
other jurisdictions to have previously been added to the ‘whitelist.’
An announcement was made on this decision in August 2007. |
