The one legal platform
On August 31, 2026, the Government of Saskatchewan stated that PlayNow.com, operated by SIGA, remains the only legal online gaming platform in the province. It launched on November 3, 2022, as the province's first legal, regulated online gaming platform. Under The Alcohol and Gaming Regulation Act, 1997, a person below 19 counts as a minor, and play is closed to anyone under 19.
The groundwork came in September 2021, when the Gaming Framework Agreement was amended. The change let SIGA offer an online platform with electronic casino games and single event sports betting to Saskatchewan residents. At launch, SaskGaming managed PlayNow.com, SIGA operated it and SLGA regulated it. It was built on the British Columbia Lottery Corporation's PlayNow.com platform. Management of online gaming has since moved from SaskGaming to LGS.
Exclusivity has a date attached. On August 31, 2026, the province and FSIN announced that SIGA's online gaming exclusivity is extended to September 2029. Residence counts as well: SLGA's internet gaming standard requires the operator to refuse registration to anyone whose residence is outside Saskatchewan.
Everything else online
The province does not soften its wording about the rest. On August 31, 2026, it said PlayNow has been steadily growing in profitability "despite heavy competition from illegal platforms". At the 2022 launch, SaskGaming's CEO called PlayNow.com "a legal, regulated alternative to grey market and illegal gambling sites currently operating in the province".
SLGA's FAQ sets out the rule behind this. Under the Criminal Code of Canada, all gaming is illegal unless it is licensed or operated by a government.
At Casinos Regina and Moose Jaw, play happens only at the physical locations: there is no mobile app and nothing to play online. They warn that falsified social media ads for online platforms using their names are a scam. Both name playnow.com as Saskatchewan's only legal gaming website. SIGA casino sites carry a line of their own: PlayNow.com is the only legal gambling site whose profits go back to Saskatchewan.
Limits, breaks and self-exclusion
PlayNow.com in Saskatchewan offers pop-up reminders of time and money spent, play breaks and self-exclusions. It also shows problem gambling referral information.
Game Break, SaskGaming's voluntary and confidential self-exclusion, covers all casinos in the province and PlayNow.com. It runs for 6 months to 5 years. Enrolment happens through Customer Service or Security at a casino, or by appointment with GameSense staff at 306-787-2122. SIGA's own program covers the nine casinos, and neither program lists private online casinos. Calls to the Saskatchewan Problem Gambling Helpline, 1-800-306-6789, are free, confidential and answered day and night.
About the ad on the home page
Paid links number three on this site, all marked Ad, and every one of them lives on the home page. The menu carries the first; a block of its own, right after the opening screen, carries the second; the third is set low on the page. All three point to one single online casino partner, never another. Saskatchewan neither operates nor licenses that private casino, and no Saskatchewan casino or gaming body is connected with it.
The site is paid a commission; who the partner is can change. No inner page holds paid links, this one included.
