Getting a SIGA Rewards Card Before You Walk In
To reach the gaming floor at Northern Lights Casino in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, you need a SIGA Rewards card. It is not optional or just “recommended”. Since February 15, 2024, entry works in one of two ways: you either swipe your card at the Guest Registration Kiosk by the doors, or show it to Security at the podium. Without that card, you simply do not get in. Staff at the entrance usually point first-time visitors toward the Players Club desk, because that is where everything starts.
There is at least one upside here, the card itself is completely free. No joining fees, no hidden charges for the physical card, and registration usually takes only a couple of minutes. What you must bring is valid government-issued photo ID. A Canadian driver’s licence or a passport is normally used, and you have to be at least 19 years old to qualify. If you meet those two conditions, you are good to go.
It is also worth clearing up what happens with your information at the door. When you enter, the casino records only a small set of details tied to your SIGA Rewards card: your first name, last name, SIGA Rewards number, plus the date and time when you came in. That is it. No extra personal data at this stage, and this record stays within their internal system.
If You Are Visiting for the First Time
For a first visit without any card yet, the flow is quite straightforward, even if it feels a bit formal at first.
- Make your way to Northern Lights Casino at 44 Marquis Road West, Prince Albert, Saskatchewan.
- When you reach the main doors, let the Security staff know that you do not have a SIGA Rewards card.
- They will point you toward the Players Club desk inside, sometimes called the SIGA Rewards desk.
- At the desk, pass your government-issued photo ID to the team member helping you.
- They will confirm you are 19 or older.
- You give your name and a few other basic details so they can create your membership profile.
- Your physical SIGA Rewards card is printed right there and handed to you.
- Then you head back to the Security podium and either swipe your brand new card at the Guest Registration Kiosk or show it to Security so they can finish your entry.
The whole interaction at the Players Club desk is usually quick, just a few minutes if it is not too busy. Once the card is in your wallet, you can use it at any other Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority casino in the province. You do not need to repeat the registration steps at other SIGA locations, the same account follows you around the network.
A small but practical habit for casino visits in general: always carry your ID. Even when you assume you will not be asked, it can suddenly be needed for a reprint, a replacement card, an age verification, or some other check that comes up in real life.
Coming Back as a Returning Cardholder
If you already have a SIGA Rewards card from a past trip or from a different SIGA property, the Northern Lights Casino registration step is much quicker. You just arrive during their operating hours, take your card out, and either swipe it at the kiosk near the entrance or hand it straight to Security. The system logs your name, card number, and the time and date of entry, and you can walk onto the gaming floor.
If your card has gone missing or you left it at home, you do not have to panic. Before heading to Security, stop by the Players Club desk again. The staff there can look up your profile and reprint a new card for you at no cost. If the magnetic stripe or chip has stopped reading properly, you get the same free replacement. It is a small detour inside the building, but not something that blocks your visit.
What the Card Actually Does for You
Think of the SIGA Rewards card as your key card for entry and as your loyalty card at the same time. Without it, you cannot access the gaming area, but once you are inside and start playing, it quietly tracks play for rewards. When you sit down at slots or table games and use your card as intended, points start to collect on your account. Over time, those points are converted into free play credits. Based on publicly available program details, 1,000 points are equal to C$5 in free play balance.
| Benefit | Detail |
|---|---|
| Card cost | Free |
| Minimum age | 19 years with government-issued photo ID |
| Points example | 1,000 points = C$5 free play |
| Cross-casino use | Valid at all SIGA casinos in Saskatchewan |
| Data recorded at entry | First name, last name, SIGA Rewards number, entry time and date |
On top of that, the card connects your name to whatever promotions or offers are active at the time you visit. One ongoing example is “The Circuit,” which uses a minimum bet of C$2 and typically runs from 11 AM until 2 AM daily. That said, casino schedules do shift, so it is better to quickly confirm the exact times after you arrive. The Starlight Lounge, the on-site live entertainment space, is located on the same property and is part of the broader casino experience wrapped around this rewards setup.
