Plan the trip back first
Before leaving Saskatoon, set two limits for the evening: a time to head home and an amount of money that stays fixed. It helps to write both down.
Settle the ride back before the first drink, either a sober driver or the casino's daily round-trip shuttle from Prairieland Park. Pickup times and fares for the shuttle are not published, so call 306-667-6400 to confirm them. During the evening, step away from the floor every so often, for air or a coffee, and check the clock against the plan. The legal gambling age in Saskatchewan is 19.
Questions from the road
Is the helpline free, and does anyone answer at night?
The Saskatchewan Problem Gambling Helpline, 1-800-306-6789, is free and gives help 24 hours a day. Trained counsellors take the calls, and the calls are confidential. Families can call too.
Can someone enrol a partner or relative in self-exclusion?
Nobody can enrol someone else in SIGA Voluntary Self-Exclusion. The person who wants the ban asks for it at a SIGA casino or by appointment at 103 Aspen Place in Saskatoon.
Can Game Break be shortened once it starts?
Once Game Break is in effect, it cannot be shortened or removed. The term runs from 6 months to 5 years, so the length deserves some thought before enrolment.
