PlayNow.com as the only casino

PlayNow.com online casino features around 400 casino games – including slots, live dealer games and sports betting options.
Compared to other casinos in Canada that generally feature thousands of options, PlayNow.com offers some of the best assortment of games and is definitely good news for the Saskatchewan residents who want to play within a legal framework that safeguards them as gamers.
Saskatchewan before the casino legislation
So, what was the situation like before Saskatchewan officially opened its doors for legitimate online gaming? The provincial lottery was the only gambling the Saskatchewan residents could legally indulge in.
Nonetheless, they could technically still access online casinos in Canada. However, there was no jurisdiction over online casino gambling. This meant that online casinos were not a regulated market in this province.
