Canadian Regulator Warns Versus Fake Online Gambling Advertisements Lotteries and Gaming Saskatchewan (LGS) is warning the general public about fraudulent betting advertisements on the web. These advertisements declare to be associated with genuine gambling establishments in the area but are phony. Scammers create these advertisements to deceive the public for monetary gain using the logo designs, names, and photos of actual gambling establishments. Saskatchewan regulations allow online betting entirely on PlayNow, which is approved by the Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority (SIGA). The British Columbia Lottery Corporation operates the platform. LGS has particularly warned the general public to be careful when engaging with advertisements including Dakota Dunes Casino, Casino Regina, or any other online land-based gambling establishment in Saskatchewan. These ads particularly target unsuspecting individuals to take their personal information, consisting of credit card info. LGS Vice President of Gaming, Steve Tunison described, "None of the land-based casinos in Saskatchewan have a genuine online variation, and individuals who see these types of advertisements on their social media channels are strongly recommended not to click on them. Saskatchewan individuals who wish to bet online can do so safely and securely on PlayNow.com, which is the only legal online gaming platform in our province." Scammers have actually rampantly increased their activities through social media, which is the main factor for the magnitude of this specific concern. Because of this, LGS is suggesting the general public flag misleading and deceptive betting ads on social networks to the respective platforms.
