Winnipeg at a glance

The Royal Canadian Mint's Winnipeg facility produces all of the circulating coins used in Canada. The Red River Floodway, completed in 1968 and nicknamed Duff's Ditch after Premier Duff Roblin, diverts spring floodwater around Winnipeg. Winnipeg grew at the confluence of the Red and Assiniboine rivers, a meeting place for Indigenous peoples for at least 6,000 years. Winnipeg takes its name from Lake Winnipeg, from Cree words meaning muddy waters. The Winnipeg General Strike of 1919 brought about 30,000 workers off the job and became a landmark event in Canadian labour history. Winnipeg is home to the Winnipeg Jets of the NHL and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the CFL.

The legal framework, in short

PlayNow.com, run by Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries, is the online casino authorised by the province of Manitoba. Private sites reachable from Winnipeg usually hold offshore licences (Kahnawake Gaming Commission, Malta Gaming Authority, Curaçao) and are not supervised by the Liquor, Gaming and Cannabis Authority of Manitoba (LGCA). Using an offshore site is not an offence for the player; the trade-off is weaker protection and slower dispute resolution. As in land-based venues, 18 is the minimum age in Manitoba, checked against government ID.

Gambling responsibly in Winnipeg

Gambling is a leisure expense, never an income. Keep clear money and time limits, and do not play after drinking or when you are upset. If you are unsure about your habits, call the Manitoba Gambling Helpline at 1-800-463-1554; the service covers the whole province, Winnipeg included. Your family doctor and the province's addiction services can also arrange free counselling, for players and their families.
