The recent addition of an online casino licensing and gaming commission, namely the Alexander Gaming Commission, is great news for the internet gambling industry, not to mention excellent timing for it as well. Along with the Mohawk Nation, who oversees the Kahnawakee Gaming Commission, the Alexander First nation Band has delegated yet another North American Gaming Commission to regulate online casino gambling - all in the wake of the recently passed U.S. anti-internet betting legislation.

The Alexander Gaming Commission, said an Alexander spokesperson, was established on March 24, 2006, pursuant to the Alexander First Nation Band Council Resolution 2005.2006.057 and Alexander Gaming Law, which strives to enforce "comprehensive, socially responsible internet gaming regulations", imposed on the qualified recipients of online gaming licenses. The Commission expressed its confidence in providing a safe and top-quality betting environment for online casino gamers.

According to the tribe's press release, the regulations are designed to ensure all gaming activities taking place at licensed casinos and betting sites operating within the Alexander First Nation or by the Alexander Nation are conducted by qualified and suitable operators overseeing the provisions of fair odds and guaranteed, timely payouts. In addition to the formation of the Alexander Gaming Commission and Internet Gaming Regulations, Alexander First Nation is completing the construction of a 25,000 square foot, modern data center which will be housed by Alexander Internet Technologies.

The entrance of the Alexander Gaming Commission is so far being welcomed with open arms by the online casino gambling industry. However, there are concerns that as more self-appointed Gaming Commission's adopt internet gambling laws, the larger the gap will be in universal regulation standards, which on the other hand, is being espoused and championed by a large number of industry officials who recognize the fact that the World Wide Web is precisely just that - A world wide entity that only reinforces the need for economic globalization. Yet, when all is said and done, it is clear to most that the Alexander Gaming Commission's internet gaming laws are to par with the industry's leading regulators, such as Kahnawake, the United Kingdom and standards imposed by eCOGRA.
