However, by unlawfully utilizing their logos, photos, and branding, bogus advertisements that are making the rounds on social media are posing as well-known casino businesses, including Dakota Dunes Casino and Casino Regina.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"859\" data-end=\"902\">LGS Urges Residents to Stay Vigilant<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"904\" data-end=\"975\">LGS has issued a firm warning against clicking on these ads, stating: <em>\u201cIf you see a Facebook or other social media ad for an online version of Dakota Dunes Casino, Casino Regina or any other land-based casino in Saskatchewan, don\u2019t click on it. Scammers use these types of fake ads to defraud people by stealing credit card numbers and other banking information.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Authorities stress that there isn\u2019t yet an online gambling platform run by any land-based casinos in Saskatchewan. The deceptive advertisements have also been directed at casinos run by SIGA and LGS in North America.<\/p>\n<p>Residents are being urged by LGS to submit bogus advertisements to the appropriate social media sites in order to address this problem. Casino Regina and Casino Moose Jaw also used social media in early 2025 to alert gamblers to these frauds.<\/p>\n<div class=\"main-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative mb-4\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-items box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"box-100 space-org-3-item relative border-tb mt-1 \">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-ins box-100 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-logo-title-box box-100 text-left relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-box box-25 relative img-radius\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/7-bit-casino\/\" title=\"Visit Site\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><br \/>\n\t\t<amp-img alt=\"7Bit Casino\" src=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/7BitCasino.png.webp\" width=\"50\" height=\"50\" layout=\"fixed\"><br \/>\n\t\t<\/amp-img><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-logo-title box-25 relative py-10\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/igaming.org\/site\/7-bit-casino\/\" title=\"7Bit Casino\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">7Bit Casino<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms box-25 relative\">\n<div class=\"space-org-3-item-terms-ins box-100 text-center relative\">\n\t\t<strong>177% up to 5BTC + 77 <strong>\u00a0Free Spins<\/strong>!<\/strong><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"pt-1\">New players only.
