December 5 - The Kahnawake Gaming Commission, one of the world's most
respected online gambling jurisdictions, has issued a statement to clarify the
news that the offices of one of their clients,
Goldenpalace.com owner, The CyberWorld Group were raided and that the
company was forced to pay one million dollars in fines.
Initial reports were that CyberWorld Group and their owners were found guilty
of illegally operating gambling sites in the Canadian province of Quebec. Golden
Palace and all of its sister sites are licensed licensed by the Kahnawake
reservation's Gambling Authority.
Chuck Barnett, a Member of the Board Of Supervisors for Mohawk Internet
Technologies, clarified what had actually happened. 'This action against Cyber
World Group has little, if anything to do with the jurisdiction of the Mohawks
of Kahnawake and does not affect us,' he said.
"Although licensed by us, my understanding is that the offices of
GoldenPalace.com were located well into the city of Ville St Laurent, a borough
of Montreal, and that it was the offices of CyberWorld Group that were raided.
This entity is not licensed by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission."
The Quebec provincial government is apparently trying to build a legal case
against casinos operating within Canada, but Kahnawake argues that traditional
native rights protect it.
"We tell them that this is our right to do this and we're doing it properly,"
said Joe Delaronde, a Member of the Kahnawake Council.
"We administer gambling sites properly. Proof is that the global seems to
think that we're doing a good job and we're confident in our ability to continue
doing so. Publications, lawyers, industry reporters and big gambling sites
around the world will tell you that Kahnawake is well respected.'

all their publicity stunts (which puts them in the spotlight and definitely must
have contributed to the raid!). As with other Playtech powered casinos, Golden
Palace does not accept real month players from the US but
Golden Casino does.
