The ordinance should include a method for funding the tribal gaming commission and its staff. The NIGC suggests that funding be appropriated from the tribal government instead of direct funding from the gaming operation. The ordinance should include the basic procedures for conducting official commission business, including provisions regarding appeal procedures of tribal gaming commission actions. The ordinance should provide for the tribal gaming commission's autonomous authority.
This authority should include, among other things, unrestricted access to any area of the gaming operation, including the books and records of the operation, in order to carry out the regulatory duties. If a tribe elects to utilize a tribal gaming commission, the commission might be responsible for the regulatory functions outlined below. The remaining activities are additional and related functions a tribal gaming commission might perform.
Issue, suspend, revoke, and renew licenses of primary management officials and key employees upon completion of background investigations and after following the procedures contained in 25 CFR Parts and Interact with other regulatory and law enforcement agencies regarding the regulation of gaming. Conduct investigations of possible violations and take appropriate enforcement action with respect to the tribal gaming ordinances and regulations.
Provide independent information to the tribe on the status of the tribe's gaming activities. Take testimony and conduct hearings on regulatory matters, including matters related to the revocation of primary management official and key employee licenses. Establish or approve minimum internal control standards or procedures for the gaming operation, including the operation's credit policies and procedures for acquiring supplies and equipment.
Establish any supplementary criteria for the licensing of primary management officials, key employees, and other employees that the tribe deems necessary. Establish standards for and issue licenses or permits to persons and entities who deal with the gaming operation such as manufacturers and suppliers of machines, equipment and supplies. Maintain records on licensees and on persons denied licenses including persons otherwise prohibited from engaging in gaming activities within the tribe's jurisdiction.
Establish or approve rules of various games, and inspect games, tables, equipment, machines, cards, dice, and chips or tokens used in the gaming operation. It starts to erode our sovereignty. Land-based, commercial casino companies see internet gaming as a double benefit. First, it will create new revenues in a difficult economy.
It may even allow first-time gamblers to get a taste of gaming entertainment. But they also believe that they can use online gaming to bring customers to their bricks-and-mortar casinos by offering inducements—free or low-cost rooms, cash-back coupons, sweepstakes and more.
The same is true for tribal casinos, says Martin. So the two forms of gaming will complement each other well. Tribal governments come to the table knowing that any decision made could impact their governments in the near term, and, more importantly, it could impact the future of their nations.
In New Jersey, Christie cited a similar concern when vetoing the bill in that state. Smith believes that internet gaming should remain illegal until it is clear what the impact might be, how it can be effectively regulated and controlled and has adequate protections for tribes.
Furthermore, illegal operators should be brought to justice. The only ones who are benefiting with the status quo are the illegal offshore operators who continue to siphon jobs and billions in revenue from our economy.

Another provision declares that the revenue generated from tribal-operated online sites should be untaxed, since the money is to be used to support other tribal enterprises.
