Antigua
Gets
Rights
to
Advertise
In
UK
February
6,
2008
Great
Britain
has
decided
that
they
are
going
to
allow
Antigua
to
advertise
in
the
United
Kingdom,
according
to a
country
spokesman.
They
say
that
they
are
very
close
to
getting
“white
list”
status,
and
that
they
have
it
on
very
good
authority
that
they
will
be
approved
for
it
any
day
now.
With
their
popularity
right
now,
having
defeated
the
US
in
the
online
gambling
suit
that
they
had
brought
against
them,
it
is
no
wonder
that
the
UK
would
be
willing
to
let
them
in.
Many
countries
that
are
registered
in
Antigua
have
been
wanting
to
get
their
feet
in
the
door
of
the
UK,
and
this
will
allow
them
to
do
so.
According
to
the
tiny
country,
there
was
a
meeting
yesterday
between
UK
Minister
for
Sport
Gerry
Sutcliffe
MP
and
the
Antiguan
Minister
of
Finance
and
the
Economy
Dr.
L.
Errol
Cort,
and
it
seems
that
it
went
very
positively.
Cort
said
that
it
seems
that
there
is
“very
little”
that
would
keep
them
from
getting
permission
at
this
time.
Once
given
white
list
status,
the
country
would
be
able
to
advertise
in
the
country,
which
would
bring
them
additional
revenue
in
terms
of
millions
of
dollars.
Although
there
was
some
talk
that
Antigua
would
not
be
approved,
it
seems
that
the
tables
have
turned
and
they
are
back
in
favor
with
the
UK
government.
Cort
had
met
with
them
to
try
and
expedite
the
situation,
as
they
had
submitted
their
application
for
the
list
but
had
not
yet
heard
anything.
Now
that
they
are
sure
that
they
have
all
of
the
necessary
paperwork
in
their
application
can
proceed
as
planned.
They
say
that
the
positive
way
in
which
it
has
been
received
makes
them
believe
that
there
is
no
reason
why
they
would
not
be
approved
for
the
online
gambling
advertising
list.
