Lloydminster at a glance

When Alberta and Saskatchewan were created in 1905, the Fourth Meridian boundary was drawn straight through Lloydminster, splitting the young town in two. Lloydminster has been governed as a single city with one council since the two halves amalgamated in 1930. Lloydminster was founded in 1903 by the Barr Colonists, a group of settlers from Britain, and named after their chaplain, the Rev. George Exton Lloyd. The whole of Lloydminster follows Alberta's time zone, including daylight saving time, even on the Saskatchewan side. Lloydminster's economy is built on heavy oil production and processing as well as farming in the surrounding parkland.

The legal framework, in short

The provincially authorised online casino in Saskatchewan is PlayNow.com, operated by the Saskatchewan Indigenous Gaming Authority (SIGA). Saskatchewan has no licensing system for private online casinos: PlayNow.com, operated in the province by SIGA, is the only provincially authorised site, and offshore platforms operate without provincial oversight. Players are not prosecuted for using them, but their recourse in a dispute is limited to the foreign regulator. You must be 19 or older to gamble in Saskatchewan; age is verified with documents at the latest at the first cash-out.

Gambling is a leisure expense, never an income. Decide how much and how long before you start, never try to win back what you lost, and switch on the limits on offer.

Your family doctor and the province's addiction services can also arrange free counselling, for players and their families.
