Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries (MBLL) is warning the public against deceptive Facebook posts falsely claiming to represent an online gaming app for Club Regent Casino, which is located in Winnipeg, Canada and does not provide a mobile app or online gaming services.

A representative from MBLL strongly advises online gaming enthusiasts to refrain from clicking on any links within such advertisements and to avoid sharing personal or credit card information. Additionally, McPhillips Station, Winnipeg's other casino, also does not offer a mobile app or online gaming platform.
