Tribe vs. Maple Leafs About to Battle on Online Gambling
Filed in archive Poker Laws by David Aydt on March 31, 2008
The Mohawk Territory of the Kahnawake, which runs a significant amount of the virtual cards, dice, and chips action, are not backing down from recent reports that the Canadian government is looking into pulling the plug on people's right to split kings and check-raise their grandmother over the internet. Sovereign nation versus Provincial law has the two sides gearing up for a legal battle that really shouldn't have even been started. Granted the airwaves of the internet stretch out to places outside of tribal lands, but if the business is located within the tribal grounds should the tribes be subjected to other people's laws?
That's a question for those with J.D. and other acronyms after their names to determine.
