Canada May Investigate Kahnawake Online Gambling

March 6, 2008 – 2:48 pm

A recent report claims Canada may in the future prevent its citizens from gambling with websites registered out of the Kahnawake Indian Reservation located a few miles away from Montreal, Quebec.

This would cut off customers from online gambling websites like Sports Interaction, which was the first Kahnawake-based online sports betting site in 1999.

Kahnawake licenses many online gambling ventures; however, the ventures are mostly located outside the Reservation.

Genevieve Breton, Mr. Nicholson’s director of communications, has told the Ottawa National Post that “Following recent concerns surrounding Internet gambling in Canada, the Minister of Justice [Rob Nicholson] has asked his officials to examine whether the enforcement of the Criminal Code provisions could be assisted with other measures.”
