Voluntary Self-Exclusion (VSE)
The self exclusion program is a resource to help gamblers who want to take an extended break from gambling in a casino. Gamblers who register for a VSE in Saskatchewan will be banned from all casinos in the province. A person can choose the length of their VSE ranging from 6 months up to 5 years. VSEs may go by different names depending on the platform or casino. Some common names are Game Break, Time Out, or Opt-Out.
If you are on-site, reach out to the customer service staff or other staff members to assist in obtaining a VSE. Alternatively, call the number associated with your casino to start the VSE process.
Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority (SIGA) has 7 casinos throughout the province:
Bear Claw Casino (Carlyle), Painted Hand Casino (Yorkton), Living Sky Casino (Swift Current), Dakota Dunes (Whitecap FN), Northern Lights Casino (Prince Albert), Gold Eagle Casino (North Battleford), Gold Horse Casino (Lloydminster).
Call 306 477 7545 to find out more information on how a VSE with the SIGA Casinos can help you.
