Selkirk at a glance

Selkirk was originally expected to be the place where the Canadian Pacific Railway crossed the Red River, before the line was routed through Winnipeg instead. Selkirk promotes itself as the Catfish Capital of the World because of the trophy channel catfish caught in the Red River, and a giant catfish statue named Chuck greets visitors. Lower Fort Garry National Historic Site, the oldest surviving stone fur-trade post in North America, lies just south of Selkirk. Selkirk is named after Thomas Douglas, 5th Earl of Selkirk, who founded the Red River Colony in 1812. Selkirk has long been home to a steel mill that recycles scrap metal into steel products.

Other platforms you can reach in Selkirk work under foreign licences, outside provincial supervision; iGaming Ontario licences only cover Ontario. Nothing targets the player, but you give up provincial consumer protections if something goes wrong. The minimum gambling age in Manitoba is 18, and sites check it with ID before any withdrawal.

Gambling responsibly in Selkirk

First and foremost, gambling is a paid pastime. Decide how much and how long before you start, never try to win back what you lost, and switch on the limits on offer. If you are unsure about your habits, call the Manitoba Gambling Helpline at 1-800-463-1554; the service covers the whole province, Selkirk included. Your family doctor and the province's addiction services can also arrange free counselling, for players and their families.
