The Kahnawake Gaming Commission and the caribbean island nation of Antigua are going to form a partnership. This partnership will begin in September and license holders in Antigua will gain access to the wider bandwidth and tech services offered by Mohawk Internet Technologies, the company that handles online gambling operations on the Kahnawake Indian Reservation.

Antigua has been white listed by the UK Gaming Commission but this partnership will not enable Kahnawake license holders to gain the same standing with the UK gaming regulators. Kahnawake’s online gaming operations have existed for over a decade in Canada, but just recently the Canadian provinces have begun offering government owned online gambling. Kahnawake has over 50 licensees while Antigua currently has only about a dozen.

The UK government has issued a statement confirming rumours that the White List of approved online casinos will not review or add any new online casinos until 2010.



UK-based gambling interests have complained that foreign companies on the White List are given far more advantages than they are. The government has decided to halt any new additions to the list and figure out how to level the playing field. Speculation is that they may add an additional tax on casinos outside of the UK.



The UK White List is comprised of online casinos that have met regulatory checks and standards, both for the operator and the licensing authority. Any online casino that is a part of the White List is considered a responsible operator by the online gaming community, and therefore a place on the list is highly sought after.
