The Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority (SIGA) has launched its Spring Responsible Gambling Awareness Week, May 4 to 15, across all seven of its casino locations in the province. It comes as the organization reports significant engagement with problem gambling resources while also warning about rising online gambling exposure.

During the last awareness week in November, more than 3,700 users accessed responsible gambling tools, and over 1,000 patrons completed surveys during the campaign. Digital outreach tied to the awareness week generated more than 1.75 million ad views across social media and other platforms. The SIGA GameSense website also logged 5,058 direct visits during the same period.

While SIGA does not release figures on voluntary self-exclusions from its casinos due to confidentiality, it said the program remains widely used and actively promoted as part of its harm reduction strategy.
