All About The Kahnawake Gaming Commission

Today, about 8,000 people live on the Kahnawake territory and are considered
a part of the tribe. Here is how the commission describes its First Nations
tribal reservation, the history of its gaming commission, and its mission
statement. The KGC says of itself: “[The] Mohawk Territory of Kahnawake is a
sovereign jurisdiction located just outside Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The
Kahnawake Gaming Commission was established in 1996 and has been continuously
licensing and regulating online and land-based gaming within Kahnawake since
that time.”

As you’ll see, the Gaming Commission has been in the Internet gaming business
in earnest since 1999. For the first two-and-a-half years of its existence, the
gaming commission was gaining the legal right from the Canadian government to
license sites, with defining their powers within the political and legal
structure of the Mohawk Territory itself. It may have regulated land-based
raffles and card rooms in the area around Montreal, but they are not explicit
about how long ago they housed live gaming on their reservation.

Kahnawake Interactive Gaming Law

The Kahnawake Gaming Law was enacted on June 10, 1996. The Gaming Commission
has been in the business of licensing online casinos since 1999. On July 8,
1999, the Gaming Commission enacted its “Regulations concerning Interactive
Gaming”. Since that time, any operator wanting to be licensed by the commission
must host their gaming portal at a data center called Mohawk Internet
Technologies on the reservation. The data center is managed by “Continent 8
Technologies”.

Continent 8 specializes in eGaming hosting services. It has grown into an
international network and uses cutting-edge technologies to provide security,
safety, and auditing. Continent 8 Technologies has offices in Montreal, New
Jersey, Paris, London, Dublin, Malta, Gibraltar, Guernsey, Isle of Man, and
Singapore. The company describes itself as focusing on providing
cross-jurisdictional support for the “major global e-markets of Europe, Asia and
North and South America.”

Regulations Enforced by the Commission

The Kahnawake Gaming Commission offers licenses to and regulates the gaming
activities of brick-and-mortar poker rooms, land-based non-profit charity
raffles, and interactive gambling activities conducted within the Mohawk
Territory of Kahnawake. Remember that the tribe insists that licensees host
their websites on Mohawk Territory servers, so their regulatory authority
includes all license holders.

The raffle policies were enacted in November 2011, pursuant to Section 24 of
the Kahnawake Gaming Law. Charitable gaming organizations in the Montreal area
who want to host events at the territory should read the
raffle
gaming policies page.

Licensed Online Gambling Sites

As of November 4, 2015, the Kahnawake Gaming Council has offered gaming
licenses to 98
different Internet gambling operators. I linked to the list, because it
would be unwieldy to list all of them in the body of this article and because
the list changes on occasion. A number of the most famous gambling sites in the
world are licensed by Kahnawake.

For instance, Bovada (formerly Bodog) is licensed by the GGC. Bovada/Bodog is
the world famous sportsbook, casino, and poker site founded as a Canadian
company by Calvin Ayre in 1994. Ayre sold Bodog in 2007. After the Bodog domain
was seized by the U.S. government, the business changed its name to Bovada and
continues to operate its massive community of gamblers to this day.

Aladdin’s Gold Casino, Allstar Slots, Club World Casino, High Noon Casino,
and Slots.lv are some of the licensed casino sites players might know. Gaming
companies with affiliated websites include Bruckhal Services Limited, Goldenrod
Securities Limited, Greenpot Services Limited, PDV Management Corp., Technology
Services Trading Limited, Top Tech Media Limited, Web Services Online Ltd.,
Zirconium Gaming Limited, and the aforementioned World Online Software N.V.
websites. Even still, that is only a limited list of gaming providers with sites
hosted in the Mohawk territory.

Kahnawake Official Logo

Sites licensed by the commission are required to show the
Kahnawake
official logo. This is more than branding; it is a sign that a provider is
certified and in good standing. Those who want to know if a site is licensed by
the KGC should search on the site’s homepage for the logo. Obviously, it is
impossible to police every use of the logo worldwide, so I suggest anyone
signing up for a site with the GGC logo should also check the list of licensed
operators before signing up. If you find suspicious use of the logo, the gaming
commission has asked players to send information on the site to
[email protected], so the commission can verify the certification
logo is being used properly.

Approved Agents

The commission works closely with a number of third party auditors and
consultants, who provide technical assistance in licensing and regulating
websites. These third party organizations are called “Approved Agents”. At
present, the commission lists four approved agents: eCOGRA, Gaming Associates,
iTech Labs, and Technical Systems Testing. ECogra is a UK-based, industry-led
watchdog group originally founded by Microgaming back in 1998. It audits sites
in their network and posts their payout percentages each month, so players can
know they are receiving the house edge they are promised. Technical Systems
Testing (TST) is an Australian company which audits gaming sites to assure they
offer fair gaming which is secure from being hacked by identity thieves.

Itech Labs is another Australian company which does much the same as TST. The
iTech labs website describes its business as “testing and certifying online
gaming systems and games”. Gaming Associates (GA) is an Australian service
