The aboriginal territory of Kahnawake, south of Montreal, is has the largest online casinos in the world. The servers of Mohawk Internet Technologies host more than one fifth of the most popular 500 gambling sites on the web.

The sites which are mostly foreign if they want to operate from the Indian reservation in Quebec must obtain a license from the Kahnawake Gaming Commission. It is an agency that regulates gambling on the Internet conforming to the Kahnawake Gaming Law. It issues a license only to sites that follow these three basic principles:
- Only individuals and entities authorized to operate, can do it.
- Games must be fair.
- Winners must be paid.

Established in 1996, the Kahnawake Gaming Commission adopted its regulations for internet gambling in July 1999. It issues a license valid for two years. Regularly probity checks and tests are conducted. The Committee pays these benefits to the community. Since its creation, not less than one million dollars was obtained.

Currently, the online casino market, reported nearly 9.3 billion or 3% of all revenues derived from gambling. It is still banned in some countries, like the United States, but because it is accessible on the Internet, it is quite complex to control.
