Kahnawake Gambling License (KGC)
The Kahnawake Gaming License is one of the oldest online gambling licenses, established in 1999. It is issued by the Mohawk Council of Kahnawake and regulates online gaming operations hosted within the Mohawk Territory. It is known for its zero-tax regime on gaming revenues and its focus on player protection and fair play.
Kahnawake utilizes a "Single-License" framework under the Client Provider Authorization (CPA). A single CPA covers all major game types simultaneously (Online Casino, Sports Betting, Poker, Bingo, and Lotteries).
