The Begining of the End for Gibraltat

Can this be the begining for the end for online casinos based on Gibraltar, only just after announcing its offical withdrawal from the US market, Bowmans International has announced it will be closing its Gibraltar's office and making redundancies at its headquarters in Mauritius.

Bowmans had confirmed at the end of November that all of its US business was transferred to Bodog.com, and started to refocused its strategic development towards Canada, Europe and Asia.
However, Bowmans have struggled to find a replacement to their existing poker and casino software providers ever since the approval by the US Congress of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act on September 30.

This is another blow for the gaming sector of Gibraltar, when 888.com made 140 staff redundant the other week, what will the future hold for the gambling sector in Gibraltar!
it doesn't look good from my eyes
