A Closer Look at the Paradise/Discovery Case
10 June 2004
Tropical Paradise, the Costa Rica-based company that operates popular online poker site paradisepoker.com, in April sued media conglomerate Discovery in a federal U.S. court for several charges, including breach of contract, unjust enrichment, conversion and negligent misrepresentation.

Far from Over
8 June 2004
After several months of delay, Ladbrokes finally received a favorable court judgment against gaming operator De Lotto in the Netherlands last week, delighting proponents of the right to distribute I-gaming services across Europe's state borders. The Dutch court in Arnhem essentially ruled that Dutch gaming laws are inconsistent with their self-defined goals of limiting fraud and preventing gambling addiction. The court also declared the laws to be inconsistent with the rules set forth by the European Court of Justice in its Gambelli decision. The judgment, however, is interlocutory and not final, and Ladbrokes still has obstacles to overcome.»
