BCLC Launches its PlayNow.com in Saskatchewan
Today, BCLC launched its PlayNow.com to a third province in Canada, with its industry-leading online gambling platform now available to players in Saskatchewan.
As part of a partnership with the Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority (SIGA) and SaskGaming, Saskatchewan players can now enjoy more than 400 entertaining casino and sports-betting products on PlayNow.com, available through strategic partnerships BCLC has with world-class gaming vendors.
“BCLC is thrilled to help bring legal, online regulated gambling to Saskatchewan, in line with our social purpose to generate win-wins for the greater good,” said Pat Davis, BCLC President and CEO. “We would like to thank our partners at SIGA and SaskGaming for their collaboration in bringing our safe, secure and industry-leading PlayNow.com platform to the province of Saskatchewan.”
Whether playing on PlayNow.com in British Columbia, Saskatchewan or Manitoba, players have access to robust player-health safeguards on PlayNow.com, including dedicated player-health specialists – known as GameSense Advisors – who are available via phone and live chat to answer gambling-related questions and provide additional support resources and referrals, if needed. PlayNow.com is one of few gambling websites in the world to offer this service to players as just one way to support positive play.
“We are excited to be the exclusive provider of Saskatchewan’s first and only legal online gaming site, which will provide a safe and secure option for residents to play their favourite casino games and bet on their favourite sports teams online,” said SIGA President and CEO Zane Hansen.
“Today is a historic day for casino gaming and entertainment in Saskatchewan,” said SaskGaming President and CEO Susan Flett. “PlayNow.com will change the gaming industry as we know it and I want to extend my appreciation to BCLC and SIGA in helping make this launch a reality.”
In 2023, PlayNow.com will introduce additional products for Saskatchewan players, including its popular Live Casino and poker products.
BCLC launched PlayNow.com in British Columbia in 2004, and it is currently the fastest-growing channel of BCLC’s business. BCLC began providing PlayNow.com to Manitoba players beginning in 2013. Profits from PlayNow.com go back to support programs and services in the provinces in which it operates.
As the only legal, regulated online gambling website in B.C., Manitoba and Saskatchewan, PlayNow.com meets high standards for technical integrity, age verification and responsible gambling, as well as federal anti-money laundering requirements.

Titanplay Enters the Mobile Market with Delasport’s Turnkey Solution
Rising iGaming brand Titanplay is entering the mobile market powered by Delasport’s turnkey solution. The solution includes the possibility of quickly launching iOS and Android apps, in this case – for the Ontario player base.
Mobile users will get the full sportsbook and casino experience of Delasport’s product, and even more: features like the proprietary Booster Panel for Casino games and ‘Combo of the Day’ for sports are also available for them.
Titanplay’s app is already available for iOS, and it will soon arrive on Google’s Play Store for Android devices.
The Ontario-focused brand is taking full advantage of what Delasport has to offer, thus providing the best player betting experience possible. Their platform has been live for a few months now and it has been thriving the whole time.
Aside from the mobile-only cutting-edge features, gamblers enjoy Player Engagement missions and tournaments, unmatched personalization capabilities with My Sportsbook, My Casino, My Combo, and My Event Builder, and much more.
“Having a mobile-first approach when developing products is a must in today’s iGaming industry”, Delasport’s CEO Oren Cohen Shwartz comments. “Data shows that mobile users are now more than 70% of the whole player base, so we make sure to be prepared to bring our partners to this thriving market at any point. This is the case with Titanplay who’ve had an incredibly successful launch in Ontario last year and are now ready to win even more players.”
In addition to a comprehensive sportsbook and casino experience, the Delasport mobile app includes innovative customization, and gamification features to boost user engagement and differentiate the company from its competitors. Cross-product Tournaments, Missions, Badges, Spin & Win, and other gamification elements are also available to Titanplay’s players.
As soon as the app is downloaded and installed on a device, it provides convenient and quick access. Titanplay’s team may communicate with their players in real-time using the built-in push notifications feature on their devices. The software also addresses current security demands by providing biometric login and facial recognition on supported devices.
