Frequently asked questions

Is a Kahnawake licence the same as a Canadian federal licence?

No. Kahnawake regulates under the Mohawk Territory’s own gaming law, separate from Canada’s federal Criminal Code framework and from provincial regulators such as Ontario’s AGCO.

How do I complain about a Kahnawake-licensed operator?

Contact the operator first, then escalate to the Commission’s Dispute Resolution division if it stays unresolved.

Does Kahnawake test games for fairness?

Yes. RNG and game outcomes must be certified by a testing lab the Commission recognizes before a game can go live.
