21-Jan-08. U.K. blacklists Kahnawake Web gambling. National Post, A2.

The British Department for Culture, Media and Sport announced last week that it has refused Kahnawake’s application to be added to a new “whitelist” of jurisdictions permitted to advertise online gambling in the U.K. The decision came after a fine assessed on January 11th by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission to the web site Absolute Poker, which is owned by former Kahnawake grand chief Joe Norton through his company Tokwiro Enterprises. An investigation found that one or more people associated with the site were winning large jackpots by using software that revealed the other players’ hidden cards.
