x-posted from Internet Poker - not sure where to post this
Is there a thread somewhere that's appropriate for a discussion, with the intent of gaining better understanding or clarification, of the Kahnawake requlations? I did a forum search and did not find anything readily apparent.
This was an interesting read
http://www.gamingcommission.ca/docs/...tiveGaming.pdf
Particularly:
Items 216 and 217 deal with player disconnects in "casino" games and no where are the same requirement made for card games/tournaments. Otoh, no where does it specify what is included/excluded in "casino" games. (in the event that a player is "blinded out" due to disconnect and unable to rejoin the event when a connection is re-established due to client software issues on the behalf of the gaming provider)
item 236 seems to indicate a 3 month requirement for non-monetary prizes to be able to be collected - it does not specifically indicate whether or not VIP points are considered non-monetary prizes. (in the event VIP points are arbitrarily seized by a gaming provider without sufficient notice or compensation with equitable value).
item 284 seems to indicate the requirement to keep hand histories for 5 years but no where does it indicate any requirement to provide player data to players if requested. (in the event you need to recover your own hh's).
The biggest concern I was attempting to research was not addressed afaik. I could not find any section that addresses account closure and forfeiture based on an arbitrary determination of a security violation by the gaming provider without warning, explanation, or recourse (other than an escalation to the commission).
To be clear, I am in no way currently seeking recourse through Kahnawake nor am I currently impacted by any of these items tht would lead me to seek recourse. I'm just trying to better understand the player protections Kahnawake provides in order to be "informed and educated consumer".
