I need answers about Kahnawake

[The Watchdog]

Not only about Kahnawake...about jurisdictions and licenses...

The Meister won't endorse casinos and sites located in my beatiful country of Costa Rica since we do not have a gaming comission who regulates us. I totally respect that. We should have one.

With all due respect, I have never respected ecogra's job. I rather go by the meister than those guys, and the other thing are the jurisdictions. For example Kahnawake has never showed me seroius commitment to regulate their sites.

First Question..

In order to be licensed by a Jurisdiction you business must be located within that territory right? Or can a UK site be under Antigua's jursdiction?

Second Question..

Who makes sure these guys giving these licenses are actually making sure these sites are running an honest and legit business??

Third Question...

Has anyone ever hada problem with a casino endorsed by Ecogra or "licensed" under a jurisdiction?

I am looking forward to here some comments

Appreciate it

That is a very good question and one I would like to hear about too.

I don't know anything about it, but as a player my impression is that most of the licenses and jurisdictions don't really carry much weight. I guess I trust ecogra and kanahwake sites more than some others, but it is mostly recommendations from other players that sways me most.

If a site shows a license from Kanhawke territory, is it suppose to bring security to the customer or that their site is legit?

I often see complains of tons of sites from this jurisdiction... I don´t know if just having your business there is enough to get the license... Apparently it is.

On the other hand, Ecogra won watchdog of the year at gambling online magazine last year. Honestly, tons of casinos I have seen which also have a lot of problems endorsed by them.

I made a complain about a casino issue I had recently to them and their answer was that my complain was not worth it... Amazingly, the manager from that casino thanked me for my observations and he admited they were not doing good, even gave me a very nice bonus... So.. howcome ecogra says the site is good and the manager admits they are not????

I do know there are a lot of casinos out there.. some good some bad... I believe a serious and comitted authority should be on top of everyone ...
I have lost my respect for some jurisdictions and some watchdogs...

My adivse.. come to the meister´s forum and look at what he has to say. His experience seems and is better than most clowns out there who apparently are just saling for a few bucks a logo to put in your website.

Hello,
I am so glad that you ask about KAHNAWAKE. Who are they really?I made a complaint and never got a reply from them.I live in nevada and we have a gaming commission here.You get results.I'm gonna try again with KAHNAWAKE.apparently the members have to follow there laws and security.what i want to know is WHO'S security are they protecting?i did a cashout at a bingo site that has there logo.(there are like 12 or more sites that all connect)not all the sites are members with kahnawake.(thank goddness)the bingo site asked for me to prove who i am and where i live?no problem,i sent in a i.d and proof of address and birthdate.Well,they told me that what i sent in was not correct.they wanted a bank statement or credit card statement and birth cert.No way.I use netteller to deposit and make withdrawls.I don't trust the internet.i western union my funds to netteller.that's how i feel safe.I told the security department how i felt and asked why wasn't what i sent them good enough.They replied that they belong to KAHNAWAKE and they have to follow there ways.I am so angry that they are pushing for this information.first of all they had no problem in taking my deposits and letting me play,until i decided to cashout.I have hit a jackpot thur one of the connecting sites and had no problem in cashing out.a site that dosn't belong to KAHNAWKE.How are they helping the players,when i can't even get a reply?How do we know that this gaming commission is on the up and up?maybe all these casino became members just so they could use this logo to trick the players into thinking that they honest.Does any one really know how they help?(not a good writer,lol)

Thanks everyone for their comments..

Here is the thing... I believe that in order for you to be under a jurisdiction your business must be within that territory.

I won't name casinos or sites.. but I have spotted some companies having their business under Kahnawake jurisdiction, but there operation on another country other than Canada... Is it me or is this just weird.

Take a look, one of them told me that their servers are in Canada. OK.. SO WHAT IS KAHNAWAKE JURISDICTION DOING? MAKING SURE THAT THEY PAY THEIR ELECTRICITY BILL...

So I belive that if I start my online sportsbook and casino in Haiti, pay $0.5 an hour, and get a crack head in canada which I pay a bottle of the cheapest wine a week for him to say that he is my Marketing Manager in Kahnawake that makes me part of their jurisdiction??????

sorry but I really want to learn more about these guys and how they "REGULATE" everyone... Day by day I have more the impression they sale their logo for $500 a site...

Actually, I met with the Kahnawake gambling commissioners last week at the GIGSE, and I now have a personal point of contact. You'll be able to read about this in this week's newsletter covering my exploits over there.


Oh, what a tease...

[spearmaster]

During my presentation I made a pointed reference to regulators who don't answer queries about their operators - and I am reasonably certain they were there and listening. They had a much bigger contingent this year than in past years.

[The Watchdog]

To the Meister and Spearmaster...

I appreciate your comments, and looking forward for this week newsletter.

Anyone who has any comments or experiences I will like to hear about them.

I am quite dissapointed with a site I learned operated in my country and has a Kahnawake License... who is that possible???

thanks

I Have raised concerns and complaints about many of the casinos they license. I gave them the information they asked for and still got no response from them at all. I even wrote to their attorney and he only said he would forward my complaint. All the Kahnawake do is to get paid for a license and they give it out. Obviously they don't investigate complains. It is my understanding that the Royal Canadian Mounted Police have been and still might be investigating the Kahnawakes little scam they have going. I would say if Sitting Bull was still alive, you could get him to move off Indian land quicker then you can get the Kahnawake to do anything.
Isn't the Jackpot Factory Corporate offices in Australia or some where like that. I am of the mind that most of the casinos licensed by them are not in Canada.They should be definitely ROUGED
