The EU basically put this report thinking they are being shortchanged because of US laws prohibiting gambling.

However, once legalized, I think many companies will be jumping to move to the US, and that will eat away considerably at the EU market share. Not a smart move financially, IMO, for the EU to put pressure on the US to legalize gambling.

(That being said, I hope they are successful.)

Didn't they try this a couple of years ago? I seriously doubt the US is going to listen. :/

I think it's just one more thing for congressman to think about.
