The world’s largest computer facilities for online gaming are located on the Mohawk First Nations Reserve, also known as Aswesasne, which straddles the borders of Ontario, Quebec and the United States. Unlike the United States, the Canadian government has not been cracking down on Internet gambling as gambling is a provincial matter and because of governmental fear of enforcing laws on any First Nations reserve. William Rutsey, president of the Canadian Gaming Association, says that provincial failure to crack down, or license, Internet gambling operations exposes the public to needless risk.
