History of the Kahnawake Gaming Commission

The Kahnawake Gaming Commission was established in 1996 following the enactment of the Kahnawake Gaming Law by the Mohawk Council of Kahnawake. In July 1999, the Commission introduced its Regulations concerning Interactive Gaming, positioning Kahnawake as one of the pioneers in online gaming regulation. Over the years, the KGC has licensed and regulated numerous online casinos, poker rooms, and sportsbook sites, as well as land-based poker rooms within the Mohawk Territory of Kahnawake.

Notably, in 2009, the Commission conducted a thorough investigation into the Ultimate Bet cheating scandal, resulting in directives for player refunds totaling approximately US$22 million and the imposition of a US$1.5 million fine on the operator. This action underscored the KGC’s commitment to maintaining integrity and player trust in the gaming industry.
