The British Columbia Lottery Corporation (BCLC) has launched its PlayNow.com website in Saskatchewan, making it the third Canadian province in which the online gambling platform is live.
As part of a partnership with the Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority (SIGA) and SaskGaming, Saskatchewan players can now play more than 400 casino and sports betting products on PlayNow.com.
These games have been made available through strategic partnerships the BCLC has made with global gaming vendors. Canadian bettors in the provinces of British Columbia and Manitoba also have access to PlayNow.com.
BCLC President and CEO Pat Davis commented: “BCLC is thrilled to help bring legal, online regulated gambling to Saskatchewan, in line with our social purpose to generate win-wins for the greater good.
“We would like to thank our partners at SIGA and SaskGaming for their collaboration in bringing our safe, secure and industry-leading PlayNow.com platform to the province of Saskatchewan.”
PlayNow.com boasts stringent security measures and “robust player-health” safeguards that are implemented by GameSense advisors. These advisors are contactable via phone and live chat, where they can answer gambling-related questions and provide additional support resources and referrals.
The security measures that PlayNow.com implements to ensure high levels of technical integrity include: age verification, responsible gambling measures and federal anti-money laundering requirements.
SIGA President and CEO Zane Hansen commented: “We are excited to be the exclusive provider of Saskatchewan’s first and only legal online gaming site, which will provide a safe and secure option for residents to play their favorite casino games and bet on their favorite sports teams online.”
In 2023, PlayNow.com plans to usher in a host of new games for Saskatchewan players, including its live casino and poker products.
