Kahnawake Gaming Commission

Debating about where to launch your online casino? Consider applying to the Kahnawake Gaming Commission — a highly respected regulatory authority in Canada that offers operators a flexible gambling license with zero tax and a reasonably straightforward application process.

We say ‘reasonably straightforward’ because despite the Commission and jurisdiction’s more liberal stance, acquiring a Kahnawake gaming license can still be fairly daunting for prospective operators due to the non-negotiable compliance and legislative protocols, tons of paperwork, and obligatory background investigations.

Don’t let these deter you, though — the benefits of being a licensed operator in the Kahnawake region far outweigh any of the snags.

For players, an online gambling license instills greater trust and confidence in their chosen casino. And for operators of interactive gaming sites, being a licensee allows them to run their casino as a normal business.
