On-line, real time gambling is exploding across the country, and its coming to Saskatchewan.

Saskatchewan Indian Gaming has signed a partnership with the BC Lottery Corportation to create an on-line gaming portal in Saskatchewan.

“SIGA, is very excited to bring the PlayNow online casino and sports betting experience to Saskatchewan – the PlayNow platform is very competitive against any other online offering. This online offering will integrate into our existing casino operations and will further enhance the entertainment options for SIGA’s and SaskGaming’s customers,” said SIGA President & CEO Zane Hansen in a news release.

SIGA runs gaming in Saskatchewan, after entering into an agreement with the provincial government in 2021.

“We are excited to be moving forward with the next stage of this project,” said SaskGaming President & CEO Susan Flett. “Online Gaming will modernize the gaming industry in the province and will complement the casino entertainment options available at land-based SaskGaming and SIGA casinos.”

The new betting website and app is expected to launch sometime this year.
