The Kahnawake Gaming Commission was established in June 1996 to oversee the gaming activity that occurs within its territory. According to the Kahnawake Gaming Law, the commission consists of three members who are appointed by the Mohawk Council of Kahnawake.

The commission’s duties include regulating and controlling gaming and all related activity that occur within the boundaries of the Mohawk Territory of Kahnawake. The commission strives for honesty and integrity in all the gaming activity which occurs in and from the territory.

The commission guarantees that only suitable operators will be allowed to function within the Kahnawake Territory, that all games offered are random and fair and that winners are paid out in due time.

Operators wishing to apply for permission to operate out of Kahnawake Territory have to undergo a procedure which ensures that no ‘undesirables’ make their way into the commission’s jurisdiction. Applicants need to provide extensive information about the business entity which will be running the gaming operation, as well as background of key management personnel.

The commission believes that ‘knowing their clients’ is the best way of controlling what occurs in its territory and this personal relationship with gaming operators helps retain the commission’s reputation and integrity.

Several online casinos are licensed by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission. They include Spin Palace, 7 Sultans, Casino Kingdom, Zodiac Casino and many more. To determine if a gaming site is licensed by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission, look for their logo on the gaming website.
