The state of Oklahoma says it won’t stand in the way of a federally recognized Indian tribe seeking to launch an online gambling site.

In December, the Iowa Tribe of Oklahoma sued the state in federal court after the state questioned whether the tribe’s plan to launch PokerTribe.com – an online gambling site catering to non-US customers – fell within the bounds of their tribal-state gaming compact.

As reported by Law360.com, the state sought arbitration to resolve the standoff, and the arbitrator ultimately determined that there was no conflict with the compact, provided the online operations were located within tribal lands. The tribe operates three brick-and-mortar casinos in the state.

In February, the tribe applied for summary judgment, and on Wednesday the state told the federal judge handling the suit that there was no reason not to certify the arbitrator’s decision.
