    Default Online Casino in Saskatchewan?

    A former Chief of the White Bear First Nation in Saskatchewan is planning to open an online casino Nov. 6th, named the Northern Bear Casino. The Sask government says it's not going to happen.

    Will be interesting to see what transpires tomorrow.

    I updated the story, CBC News made it sound like the gov't was going to take immediate action if the casino opened. They used quotes and statements from six months ago when the province was considering launching their own online casino.

    What was actually said by the SLGA minister today about it, is that the casino is "probably illegal" but didn't say any action would be taken. “Once I see it and what they’re doing, we’ll look at our options at that point in time,” Harpauer said. “We’ll have to get advisement, I’m sure, because there are legal issues.”

    The casino is now open - northernbearcasino dot com

    It says it's part of the 'GEOBet Gambling Network', but it looks like you would actually be playing at GEOBet rather than this Northern Bear casino. Every link you click on takes you to a GEOBet page with only a bar across the top of the page showing the logo and name of the casino.
