    <p>I don't think it will ever be legal in the US, way too many variables involved and it is the least of our government's worries</p>

    <p>No. WRONG</p>
    <p>This game will become "unrigged and uncheated" when it is legalized and therefore regulated. Your point is as absurd as your English.</p>

    <p>I suspect the entire industry is as crooked as a barrel of snakes. If you want to play for any stakes at all the risk you must calculate is whether you are getting a straight game, not the probabilities and ratios of a hand.</p>
    <p>What's the point if there's no way to be certain of the honesty of the game?</p>

    <p>The Washington Post and CBS both investigated this, and they can't figure out Joe Norton founded Mohawk Interrnet Technologies(MIT)?  This is the company that owns all of the servers where the sites reside.   The KGC mandated that MIT  would be the Interactive Gaming License Holder for all non-Mohawks wishing to operate a gaming business from the Territory. The foreign company holds a license called a "Client Provider Authorization."  The foreign company must negotiate an agreement with MIT before it can operate from Kahnawake. The KGC collects $10,000 a year as a license fee, and MIT collects both hosting and other negotiated fees for holding the Interactive Gaming License.  So, Norton was associated with Absolute and UB before news of the scandals broke.</p>
