Sports Interaction is a Canadian online gambling site launched in the far past, 1997 to be precise. If you are wondering why you may have never heard of the casino or sportsbook, it could be down to the fact they simply don't generate complaints. They also only accept players in Canada.

The site opened as an interactive sports betting site only and added a casino later. We find them operating from the Dominican Republic in late 1998, and coming under the Kahnawake Gaming Commission's control soon after. In 1999 their website heralded the claim of being "the first online sportsbook to be based and regulated in North America."

You may have seen the brand pop up in the news in 2015 when The Mohawk Council of Kahnawake announced that they would become partners of the site - their first foray into the online gambling business. Of course, the Kahnawake Gambling Commission has been hosting sites on the First Nation reserve for just about as long as anyone can remember online casinos.

Mohawk Online Limited operates the site which features online casino games, live dealer streams, poker, and sportsbetting. We'll focus on the casino for this review. Most Canadians that want to bet on single event sports at a licensed site are already familiar with the lines, odds, pay times, and integrity of the sportsbook.

In addition to the Kahnawake Gaming Commission, Mohawk Online is licensed and regulated by the Jersey Gambling Commission (Channel Island's UK area). AML and CTFC procedures are supervised by the Jersey Financial Services Commission.

In their second year of operations, Mohawk Online reported $1.8 Million CDN in net earnings for the fiscal year which ended in October 2017. Revenues generated go back into the community for the betterment of all.

Software and Games

Since the main game provider is Playtech, here's one casino client you still have an option to download to your desktop if you are using a Windows PC. Otherwise, the games are available for instant play on any modern browser, any device - including iOS or Android.

It's easy to navigate wherever you want to go. We'll mention sports, racebook, live betting, and poker briefly before moving on to the casino games.

There! Now you know that those are options!

The live casino is powered by Playtech and we'll cover some of those games further down.

Cards

Look for all your favorite RNG card games including blackjack, baccarat, casino hold'em, Caribbean poker, deuces wild, red dog, and more. Among the blackjack variants, you'll find Muithand 5, Multiplayer Surrender, Switch, All Bets, and Lucky Lucky.

Tables

They've mixed back in some card games here, I suppose, just in case you consider blackjack a table game as I and certainly others do.

Table choices include all of your favorite games and some with unique odds:

• Age of Gods Roulette (side bet with jackpot spin)
• 3D Roulette
• Roulette Premium Series American
• American Roulette
• Roulette Premium Series French
• Club Roulette
• Roulette Premium Series Pro
• Video Roulette
• Craps

Slots

The jackpot section and branded section could just as easily fit in here. Oddly enough, they've mixed in 3D Euro roulette here along with Lucky Lucky blackjack.

The main take away for me anyway, is the Age of Gods series along with a few fan favorites like The Flintstones, Dolphin Reef, Great Blue, and Wild Gambler - Arctic Adventure.

Jackpot Games include Age of Gods titles, Everybody's Jackpot, Great Blue Jackpot, Genie HiLo, Beach Life, and Cin-R-AMa to name a few.

Branded Games is where much of the excitement lies for many players. DC Comic and Warner Brothers titles like The Matrix, Superman II, Batman & The Joker Jewels, and Justice League reside in this treasure trove.

Look for DW Studios' Gladiator titles along with Top Gun under license from Paramount, The Mummy and Kong 8th Wonder of the World courtesy of Universal Studios, and the long-running Pink Panther slot from MGM.

Video Poker

While they do populate this category with a good range of variants, not all of the potential hand count choices are available. Jacks or Better comes in a 50-line version and Aces and Faces is available with 25 bet hands per round. Look for the legacy single-hand Aces & Faces, 10s or Better, and Joker Poker. ANd we find Genie HiLo has left the tribe to visit VP titles here as well.

Keno and Scratch pages host numbers games such as Heads or Tails; Rock, Paper, Scissors; and Roller Coaster Dice, along with branded scratch cards related to popular slots like The Mummy.

Live Dealer Games

Playtech is an industry leader in live dealer games. Their 8,500 square meter studio in Latvia's Riga Old Town is the largest state of the art, cutting edge gaming studio in the world.

Look for about a dozen choices in live streaming games including Blackjack 777, roulette, baccarat, 3 card brag, and casino hold'em.

Blackjack variety includes the games of Soho Blackjack, Soirée, and Transylvania. Novelty games include the Spin-A-Win money wheel game.

Bonuses and Promotions

Look for a welcome bonus good for play in the instant or download casino.

Canadian players can look forward to monthly reloads, onsite progressive jackpots, and onsite promotions.

Note: A fresh deposit is needed to get casino bonuses. You won't be able to transfer sports book funds into the casino and get a welcome bonus.

The rollover terms are generous!

Banking and Customer Service

There are many secure payment methods available. Banking managers are always on top of the easiest ways for players to deposit and withdrawal. You can even use gift cards to deposit as long as they have a Visa or Mastercard logo on them.

Instant bank transfers, e-Transfers, and other quick and free methods are available. The casino never charges a fee for deposits.

Withdrawals are stated to be processed the next business day, so, no weekend transactions for cashouts.

Expect about three days to see funds cashed out to credit cards if they are currently processing withdrawals to them.

Pitfalls

• Canadian players only
• Limited game providers selection
• Can reverse withdrawals

The Final Word

Sports Interaction Casino welcomes Canadian players and is the only online casino in the country with a license from the Kahnawake Gaming Commission - and don't forget Jersey. Throughout the years the site has proven to be a reliable place to play, and get paid in time, every time.

While offshore casinos keep all of their profits, the Mohawk community benefits from this enterprise, much like the provincial casinos give back to the communities.

Whether you want to play poker, bet on sports, do live betting while a contest is occurring, or simply want to spin slots, play table games, or participate in live action games, you won't find a better choice.
