Licensing & Compliance

dac.marketing is an independent information desk. We are not a gambling operator, we do not hold a gambling license ourselves, and nothing on this site should be read as an endorsement that any specific operator is safe to use. This page explains the licensing landscape we reference when we talk about “trusted” or “licensed” platforms, centered on Saskatchewan.

Our own status

dac.marketing does not accept deposits, does not process real-money wagers, and does not operate any casino game. We publish information and, on some pages, links to third-party operators — some of those links earn a referral commission, disclosed on our affiliate disclosure page. A commission relationship is never the basis for calling a platform trustworthy.

Saskatchewan: SLGA, LGS and PlayNow Saskatchewan

The Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority (SLGA) is the province’s regulator for gaming activities, with Lotteries and Gaming Saskatchewan (LGS) overseeing gaming policy and management, including online gaming. PlayNow Saskatchewan, operated by the Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority (SIGA), is the only platform licensed to offer real-money online casino play to Saskatchewan residents — see our Responsible Gambling page for the player-protection side of this same framework.

Other licenses referenced on this site

Because online-casino coverage is rarely limited to one jurisdiction, pieces on this site sometimes reference operators holding a Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) or Curaçao license — common license types for operators serving players outside a province’s own regulated platform. Neither is the same regime as SLGA/PlayNow Saskatchewan, and holding one does not by itself confirm an operator is authorised to serve Saskatchewan residents under provincial law; readers are responsible for checking their own jurisdiction’s rules before playing anywhere.

How to check a license yourself

Don’t take a “licensed” badge on a casino’s homepage at face value. SLGA and LGS publish information on the province’s regulated offering, and licensing regulators such as the MGA publish their own registers of licensees — checking a claimed license number against the regulator’s own published list takes a few minutes and is the single most reliable way to confirm it.

Not legal advice

This page is general information, not legal advice, and not a substitute for checking a regulator’s current register yourself. Licensing rules change; verify directly with SLGA or the relevant regulator before relying on anything published here.
