Online casino hosted on Mohawk reserve fined

Friday, November 30, 2007

GoldenPalace.Com, the world's largest Internet casino, has been fined $2 million by the Quebec government, CBC News reported.

GoldenPalace is hosted by a server on the Kahnawake Mohawk Reserve. The First Nation issued a gaming license to the company.

But the Quebec government said GoldenPalace was operating without a provincial license. The company is based outside of Montreal.

The Kahnawake council has issued 443 permits to online gaming operators, according to CBC.
