This is troubling news out of Canada. GoldenPalace has pleaded guilty to two counts of illegal gambling and must pay a $2 million fine according to a CBC report.
The legal logic behind this -- as far as the Quebec authorities are concerned -- is that in Quebec, only the provincial government has the right to issue gambling licenses. And that makes the licenses issued by the Kahnawake null and void.
The Kahnawake, who are located near Montreal, Quebec, say the Canadian constitution allows them to operate as an independent nation and Quebec law does not apply to them. As a result, their licensing and server operations for online gaming are perfectly legal.
With the Kahnawake licensing almost 350 sites according to online.casinocity.com, this situation has the potential to become messy. Buzzy will continue to keep an eye on the situation.
