SIGA Selects Bede Gaming for Online Gaming Platform

The Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority (SIGA) has selected Bede Gaming as the provider of its new online gaming platform. The two companies will design, develop and launch a platform called BetSIGA together. The platform will consist of a responsive website and iOS and Android apps.

SIGA plans to open BetSIGA in spring 2027. The new platform will replace PlayNow, which SIGA has operated in Saskatchewan since November 2022. PlayNow is the province's only legally recognized online gaming platform. Existing players will be moved to the new site, which will be tailored to Saskatchewan's player base.

The platform will be built on open and modular technology that can expand its data, loyalty and personalization capabilities over time. Identity verification, location detection, anti-money laundering, security, player protection and responsible gaming controls will form the foundation of the system. SIGA Chair and CEO Zane Hansen said platform revenues will continue to be distributed to support First Nation communities and Saskatchewan.

Bede Gaming CEO Colin Cole-Johnson said the partnership is about more than technology setup. According to Cole-Johnson, the partnership brings together reliable technology, industry expertise and real operational collaboration. Bede Gaming said it is pleased to support SIGA's vision for the future of gaming in Saskatchewan.
