The news is heavy on UK issues this week but there were some interesting Antigua related stories, as well as some developments on the Casino City law suit. If you are an affiliate concerned with legal issues the Casino City case should be of particular interest to you.
Be sure to check out the Ryanair story (though i know this is old news for many of you) as well as the press release from the NJ lottery... very interesting and possibly controversial. I will post some more random thoughts a little later but i just wanted to get these stories up ASAP. Have a great week all.
