Saskatchewan Warns Players About The Rising of Casino Scam Advertising

Updated on 04/02/2026

“Scammers are doing an excellent job.” These are the words of Brian Miller, the Communication director for the Lotteries and Gaming Saskatchewan (LGS). The latter is the corporation which is responsible for the province’s gaming policies and safe play.

Intelligent Scams

The problem with these scams is that they pretty much copy brands when it comes to colours, language and even the same names of casino operators.

These scam advertisements that for now, have been reported are through the social media platform Facebook, where they invite users to click through what seems like a legitimate link.

The graphic imaging used not only mirrors other brands but also creates compelling content that looks legitimate. LGS therefore advises players in Saskatchewan and reminds players that the only legitimate and, therefore, safe online casino operator to play in is Play.Now – therefore, clients from this province should limit themselves to playing only at this casino to be properly safeguarded.

Easy Reporting Process

Reporting scam advertisements on Facebook is easy and straightforward. Users just have to click on the 3 dots on the right-hand side and choose ‘Report Ad.’

Users must however be reminded that scammers create new profiles constantly so users have to be aware of such scamming and not just click on any casino ad link.

Safety as a top priority

The first thing we check while performing the best casino reviews is safety – that means we check that the casino operator has all the registration numbers and licencing bodies listed on their website. We also keep an updated list of Blacklisted casinos for the ones that do not follow safety procedures.
