Of course that was the US's PR spin. In reality the ruling stated differently.
"Antigua and Barbuda, the tiny Caribbean nation that filed the case, interpreted the ruling differently, saying it would compel the United States to make some accommodation for Antiguan gaming operators.
The United States either has to outlaw all gambling or "they will have to provide Antiguan online gaming companies fair access to the U.S. market," said Mark Mendel, Antigua's lead legal counsel in the case."
