partypoker wants to do an IPO, sell stock, and the owners would make enormous amounts of money if they could do so. What's holding them back is the questionable legal status of online gambling in the US, since most of partypoker's players are american.

Quite possible of course.

But most of the time Americans are the ones trying to use the WTO to pry open someone else's market. Embarrassing and weakening the WTO by ignoring its orders carries a real price for American trade interests.

As a general rule of thumb anything the WTO is for is bad for America
