The regulations were designed to ensure that interactive gaming activities settle three basic principles: that only suitable persons and entities are permitted to operate, that games are fair to players, and that winners are paid. Mohawk Internet Technologies handles all hosting of interactive gaming services in the Mohawk Territory.

The application fee for an interactive gaming license is CAD$25,000, nonrefundable.

The Gaming Commission may also authorize an interactive gaming license holder to host a client that provides interactive gaming.

The Gaming Commission also awards secondary client provider authorization licenses, for which either an applicant or an authorized client provider may submit an application. If the applicant submits the application for a secondary client provider authorization, it must be accompanied by a $15,000 fee. If an authorized client provider submits the application it must be accompanied by a $5,000 fee. Authorization is good for two years, and applications are $5,000.
