B.C.’s PlayNow Expands Into Saskatchewan

The British Columbia Lottery Corporation (BCLC) will be expanding its PlayNow online gaming platform to Saskatchewan. This becomes the third Canadian province to approve the platform.

BCLC signed a vendor agreement with the Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority (SIGA), they jointly announced on June 6. PlayNow currently operates in British Columbia and Manitoba. The goal is to go live by the end of this year.

SIGA operates seven First Nations-owned casinos in the province, which has a population of nearly 1.2 million. It conducted a request for proposals last year and spent several months selecting the vendor.

Last year the Saskatchewan government and the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations (FSIN) announced an amendment to the 1995 Gaming Framework Agreement (GFA), to establish the legal framework for SIGA offering digital gaming. FSIN represents 74 First Nations in the province.
