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. Through the evening, leave the floor now and then for air or a coffee, and compare the clock with the plan. In Saskatchewan, gambling is legal from age 19.
Questions from the road
Is the helpline free, and does anyone answer at night?
Free support is there 24 hours a day from the Saskatchewan Problem Gambling Helpline at 1-800-306-6789. Calls stay confidential, and trained counsellors answer them. Families can call too.
Can someone enrol a partner or relative in self-exclusion?
SIGA Voluntary Self-Exclusion cannot be requested on behalf of another person. Whoever wants the ban applies for it at a SIGA casino, or by appointment at 103 Aspen Place in Saskatoon.
Can Game Break be shortened once it starts?
A Game Break term can last between 6 months and 5 years. Once the term is in force, no one can shorten or remove it, so the length deserves careful thought before enrolling.
