Canada has a unique policy structure with respect to gambling. It differs from many international counterparts as gambling operates exclusively under the control of the provincial and territorial governments. These governments work within the limitations of the Criminal Code to offer gambling options that the market and the political environment demand. Charities, First Nations and private operators also benefit from gambling in Canada by providing provincially-authorized gambling activities through operational arrangements.
Not sure that applies to a persons right to gamble or run a gambling establishment, but regardless.

Some of these online wagering establishments are Canadian. The Kahnawake Gaming Commision is on a Mohawk reserve outside of Montreal if memory serves.

http://www.kahnawake.com/gamingcommission/permits.asp

The preceeding link contains a list of all the permit holders for various online gaming companies, poker, casinos, sports betting, bingo, you name it.

One of the bigger ones listed there. www.bodoglife.com has all sorts of gambling options, including a relatively good sportsbook.

So in summary they are legit.
