Judge allows Iowa Tribe of Oklahoma to run PokerTribe.com

An Oklahoma judge has finally given the Iowa Tribe of Oklahoma the go signal to launch a gambling website for international players.

The ruling was handed down a month after the state of Oklahoma said it won’t stand in the way of the federally recognized Indian tribe, which plans to launch PokerTribe.com—an online gambling site that caters to customers outside of the United States.

According to a Law360 report, the tribe sued Oklahoma late last year after the state questioned if launching an online gambling site fell within the bounds of their gaming compact.

The state then turned to an arbitrator to resolve the standoff, who, in turn, determined that the tribe’s plan to host an online gaming site doesn’t violate not only the compact, but other relevant laws as well.
