An Indian tribe in Oklahoma hopes to launch an online gambling site serving international customers, assuming a federal judge says it’s okay.

Iowa Tribe of Oklahoma chairman Bobby Walkup recently issued a press release stating that on Dec. 23, the tribe asked a US District Court Judge in Oklahoma City to certify an arbitrator’s November ruling.

That ruling stated that an international-facing online gambling site was within the boundaries of the existing Oklahoma Tribal-State Gaming Compact and didn’t represent a violation of either state or federal law.

On Nov. 24, retired Oklahoma Criminal Court of Appeal judge Charles Chapel issued a decision that the state’s tribal gaming compact allowed for the possibility of online gambling. Chapel said internet gaming was “merely using technology to play covered games” and didn’t “extend or restrict the scope of the games and does not amend the compact in any way.”
