The Kahnawake Gaming Commission
announced the release of its final decision
regarding the Ultimate Bet cheating scandal,
resulting in a $1.5 million fine as well as
reimbursement of $22 million to affected
Ultimate Bet players.

The KGC licenses and regulates gaming activities
conducted within the Mohawk Territory of Kahnawake.

Today's decision also states that the actions taken
by Ultimate Bet's parent company, Tokwiro, over
the past 12 months have been sufficient to continue
Tokwiro's licence to operate, subject to additional conditions.

The KGC's investigation found 117 user names
held by 23 accounts. Although identifying and
confirming names associated with those accounts
was said to have been a challenge, the KGC said that
"much of the relevant data resided in a legacy database
which contained limited historical logs, and which had
not been operational since at least February 2006,
prior to Tokwiro acquiring its interest in the site."

According to the KGC's ruling, "The vast majority of the
computer devices and IP addresses used by the cheating
accounts were directly associated with Russell Hamilton.
The vast majority of the cheating accounts transferred
money through Russell Hamilton's player accounts."

Although Hamilton was seen to have gained the most,
the KGC concluded that 31 other individuals were
associated with the criminal behavior. Those names
were not released.

The KGC said that while it is a regulatory body not
mandated to assess criminal culpability, "based on
the information it obtained during the course of its
investigations into this matter, and after consulting
with its legal advisors, the Commission formed the
opinion that the cheating incidences detailed herein
could constitute criminal behaviour. Accordingly,
the Commission alerted and is fully cooperating with
the appropriate law enforcement agencies to take
the appropriate actions".
