Plan the stop before it starts
Stop budget
Your numbers only · nothing is sent anywhere
Set a sum, a time and an hour to walk in.
Set the limit before the stop
Before the engine goes off, settle two numbers: the amount for the evening and the hour to walk back out to the lot. Write them down if that helps. Bank and credit cards can stay in the vehicle, with only the set amount in a pocket. The next leg of the drive deserves its own plan.
Decide where the night will be spent, and get proper rest before pulling back onto Highway 1. A long prairie stretch after a late evening asks a lot of a tired driver. The gambling age in Saskatchewan is 19. The casino floor runs from 10 AM to 2 AM, and that closing hour works as an outer limit. Holiday hours are not published, so call 306-778-5759 before a holiday stop.

Questions from the road
Does the helpline answer at night?
The line stays open through the night. The Saskatchewan Problem Gambling Helpline at 1-800-306-6789 answers 24 hours a day, at no cost, and trained counsellors take the calls in confidence.
Can a person sign someone else up for self-exclusion?
Nobody can enrol someone else in SIGA Voluntary Self-Exclusion. The person who wants the ban asks for it at any SIGA casino and chooses a term of 6 months to 5 years. Family members can still call the helpline for support of their own.
Does self-exclusion cover private online sites?
Self-exclusion does not reach private online sites. Neither SIGA Voluntary Self-Exclusion nor Game Break blocks them.
