They provide oversight...for a fee. The poker room pays through the nose for that little Kahnawakee logo on its home page. It isn't necessary to get permission from anyone to launch a poker gaming site, nor is there any watchdog to whom the site is ultimately responsible. You would think the funding sources, like the credit card companies, NETeller, and FirePay, would be selective about who uses their services, but as long as they collect their fees, they don't care. There is no governing body for any type of internet gambling. The internet-at-large is the cyber equivalent of the Wild Wild West. The only real law is, "Let the consumer beware!" (As described in a recent program on online gambling which appeared on The Discovery Channel.) [/QUOTE]
