Britain hopes to persuade offshore gambling centres that are reaping the lion's share of the explosion in online gambling, such as Gibraltar, the Cayman Islands, the Turks and Caicos Islands, Antigua and Costa Rica to agree to new internationally consistent controls on the sites.
Jowell says that her government plans to invite the International Monetary Fund and World Trade Organisation, along with ministers from all the main offshore gambling jurisdictions.
