The legality of Kahnawake’s egaming industry has been called into question by a new research paper prepared for the Law Commission of Canada (LCC).
The report questions whether the long-established egaming domicile has the legal authority to award egaming licences.
Gambling in Canada is authorised at a provincial level, and the report says it is unclear if the independent Mohawk state of Kahnawake qualifies as a province.
However, it is unlikely to lead to any significant developments for the egaming domicile in the next 12 months.
Despite previous investigations by Canadian authorities, no action has ever been taken against Kahnawake and there is no immediate threat to its legal status.
The report, The Legalization of Gambling in Canada, calls for a unified gambling policy in Canada, with the federal government taking control of legislation.
"A Canadian national gambling inquiry is long overdue," the report stated.
The LCC is an independent federal agency that advises Canada’s parliament on legal issues.
The case studies will be published in mid-August and be presented to parliament in spring 2006 with the Law Commission's recommendations on how to regulate problem areas.
