The helpline

The Saskatchewan Problem Gambling Helpline is 1-800-306-6789. Calls are free and confidential, and the line is open 24 hours. Trained counsellors answer, so the person on the other end knows the subject. There is no need to have a plan or the right words before dialling.

Mobile Crisis Services, Inc. runs the helpline. Funding comes from SLGA and LGS, and the Ministry of Health gives program direction.

Saskatchewan residents can also get free problem-gambling counselling through the Saskatchewan Health Authority. No doctor's referral is needed. A person can ask for that counselling directly, without going through a family doctor first.

Self-exclusion

Game Break is a voluntary, confidential self-exclusion run by SaskGaming. It covers all casinos in the province and PlayNow.com, for a term of 6 months to 5 years. Once it is in effect, it cannot be shortened or removed. To enrol, a person goes to Customer Service or Security at a casino, or books an appointment with GameSense staff at 306-787-2122.

SIGA Voluntary Self-Exclusion can be requested at any SIGA casino or by appointment at SIGA Central Office in Saskatoon. It also lasts 6 months to 5 years, and it bars the person from all nine Saskatchewan casinos. No one can enrol another person in either self-exclusion program.

Neither program covers the private online casino behind the Ad links on this guide's home page. That site is not PlayNow, and it has no connection with SIGA, SaskGaming, LGS, SLGA or any casino in this guide.
