    Being on that list is no honor...I see just on a quick scan at LEAST 5 casinos/sportsbooks that are WIDELY known as deposit only shops. FIRST WEB CASINO and Gold Key Casino are 2 that jump off the page, these are well known rip-off casinos that dont pay anybody..

    And also getting a license to operate from an Indian (yea right) tribe in Canada would make what kind of difference to who??????????
