The Evening Edit/Online in SK
Online Play Beyond Gold Horse Casino
The casino at 3910 41st Street is a place you drive to for the evening, with dinner first and the tables after. Online play in Saskatchewan runs on rules of its own, and this page lays them out in order.

01
PlayNow.com and the age of 19
Legal online gambling in Saskatchewan happens at a single address, PlayNow.com. It is operated by SIGA, the same organization that runs the casino on 41st Street, and it is open to adults 19 and older. In Saskatchewan, a person younger than 19 is a minor in the eyes of The Alcohol and Gaming Regulation Act, 1997.
Every competing site falls outside that. The Government of Saskatchewan calls such sites "illegal platforms." No private online casino is licensed in Saskatchewan. That holds for every other site, the partner in the home page's Ad links included: none carries a Saskatchewan licence.
02
What a private site lacks
Neither of Saskatchewan's self-exclusion programs, SIGA Voluntary Self-Exclusion or Game Break, blocks a private online casino. The SIGA program bars a person from each of the nine Saskatchewan casinos, for a term running from 6 months up to 5 years. Game Break, which SaskGaming runs, applies to every casino in the province as well as PlayNow.com, and after it takes effect it can be neither shortened nor removed. A private site falls outside all of this and gives none of the province's player protections.
03
The Ad links and the commission
The Evening Edit accepts no wagers and keeps no accounts. Paid links appear solely on the home page, and every one is labelled Ad. You will find them in three spots: a header button, a block right under the opening screen, and one more toward the bottom. Each one opens the same adult private online casino, a partner that pays the guide a commission and is subject to change.
PlayNow.com is not that partner. Saskatchewan and Alberta play no part in running, approving or licensing that site, which is also unconnected to SIGA, to Gold Horse Casino and to any help service.
Q
Asked at the desk
- What is the legal online option in Saskatchewan?
- In Saskatchewan, PlayNow.com, which SIGA operates, is the sole legal platform for online gambling. The province licenses no private online casino.
- How old must you be to play online?
- The minimum age is 19. Under Saskatchewan law, anyone younger than 19 counts as a minor, and PlayNow.com accepts only players aged 19 and older.
- Does self-exclusion stop a private site?
- Neither SIGA Voluntary Self-Exclusion nor Game Break blocks a private online casino. A private site also has none of the province's player protections.
- Does the Lloydminster casino have its own online casino?
- Legal online play in Saskatchewan goes through PlayNow.com, which SIGA operates. The casino's own site is goldhorsecasino.ca. For anything else about the venue at 3910 41st Street, call 306-825-3777.
