The Kahnawake Gaming Commission is a sovereign regulatory authority that licenses and oversees online casinos, poker rooms, sports betting platforms, and land-based gaming facilities operating within the Mohawk Territory of Kahnawake. Established in 1996 under the Kahnawake Gaming Law, the Commission became a pioneer in online gambling regulation by introducing its first interactive gaming regulations in July 1999.
Regulatory Authority and Legal Status
The Commission operates under the authority of the Mohawk Council of Kahnawake and asserts its regulatory jurisdiction as part of the aboriginal rights recognised under the Constitution Act of 1982. While the KGC licenses operators serving players globally, it enforces strict infrastructure requirements, including mandatory hosting of primary gaming servers at Mohawk Internet Technologies (MIT), a data centre located within Kahnawake territory.
Licensing Categories
The Kahnawake Gaming Commission issues several types of licences to regulate different segments of the gaming industry:
- Interactive Gaming Licence (IGL) – Issued to the hosting facility (MIT), authorising it to provide internet gaming services to approved operators.
- Client Provider Authorisation (CPA) – The most common licence, granted to companies offering interactive gaming services such as online casinos, sportsbooks, or poker rooms.
- Live Dealer Studio Authorisation (LDSA) – Permits the operation of live dealer studios and real-time gaming activities.
- Key Person Licence (KPL) – Required for individuals performing managerial or operational roles within a CPA-licensed entity.
Player Protection and Integrity
The primary mandate of the Kahnawake Gaming Commission is to ensure that gaming activities are conducted fairly, honestly, and responsibly. To achieve this, the Commission enforces the following measures:
- Mandatory audits – Licensed operators must undergo regular software and systems audits to verify the integrity of their RNGs.
- Dispute resolution – The KGC employs a full-time Dispute Resolution Officer to investigate and mediate complaints submitted by players against licensed operators.
- Responsible gaming – Operators are required to implement self-exclusion tools and strict age-verification procedures to prevent underage gambling and support vulnerable players.
