Who Are We?
OnlineCasinoGamesGuide.com is an independent Canadian casino review website founded in 2009. We review online casinos, casino games, payment methods, and bonuses specifically for Canadian players — covering all provinces from Ontario to British Columbia.
We are not a casino operator. We do not accept payment to rank casinos higher than they deserve. Our revenue comes from affiliate commissions when readers visit a casino through our links — but our editorial decisions are made independently of those commercial relationships.
Our team has spent over 15 years researching Canadian online casinos. We read thousands of pages of bonus terms, licensing documentation, and banking policies, and cross-reference operator claims against public player reports — so you do not have to.

Who Writes These Reviews?
Reviews on OnlineCasinoGamesGuide.com are published under the byline Ryan Mitchell, the editorial name under which our Canadian casino coverage is written. Analysis covers licensing, Interac and crypto payments, bonus terms, and provincial regulation — compiled from operators' published documentation and public player reports rather than from personal play.
Ryan Mitchell
Covers the Canadian online casino market — provincial licensing (iGO, AGLC, BCLC), Interac and crypto payment methods, and bonus terms analysis. Research is compiled from operators' published documentation, licensing registries, and public player reports.
Are We Anonymous?
Ryan Mitchell is the editorial pseudonym under which reviews on this site are published, rather than a single named individual. This is common practice among independent affiliate publications where content is produced and fact-checked by a small editorial process rather than one public-facing personality. What matters for accuracy is our methodology, documented in full on our How We Review page — not the byline itself.
What Is Our Mission?
Our mission is simple: help Canadian players make informed decisions about where to gamble online. We do this by publishing honest, independently verified reviews that prioritise player safety and value over commercial interests.
Independent Testing
Every casino is tested with real money deposits and actual withdrawal requests before we recommend it.
No Pay-to-Rank
Casinos cannot pay to appear higher in our rankings. Our scores are determined by our review methodology alone.
Canadian Focus
We review casinos specifically for Canadian players — Interac, CAD, provincial regulations, and Canadian player rights.
Regular Updates
All reviews are updated every 6 months or immediately when significant changes occur at a casino.
Player Safety First
We will never recommend a casino that fails our responsible gambling standards, regardless of commission rates.
How Does OnlineCasinoGamesGuide.com Make Money?
We earn revenue through affiliate marketing. When a reader clicks a "Visit Casino" or "Play Now" button on our site and registers at a casino, we may receive a commission from the casino operator. This commission comes at no cost to you — the bonus and terms you receive are identical whether you visit directly or through our link.
Our affiliate relationships do not influence our editorial decisions. Casinos that pay higher commissions do not receive better ratings. We have terminated affiliate relationships with casinos that failed to meet our standards, and we will continue to do so.
Why this matters: Many casino review sites rank casinos primarily by commission rate. We rank by our independent scoring methodology. If you find evidence that contradicts any of our reviews, contact us — we investigate and update within 48 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Site
Is OnlineCasinoGamesGuide.com independently operated?
Yes. We are an independent editorial operation with no ownership ties to any casino operator. Our reviews are compiled from operators' published documentation and public player reports. We earn affiliate commissions from casinos we recommend, but our editorial decisions are made independently of those commercial relationships.
How do you verify that a casino is licensed?
We verify every casino licence directly with the issuing authority — iGaming Ontario, the Malta Gaming Authority, UKGC, or Kahnawake. We check the public licence register, not just the casino's claims. Any casino with an unverifiable or expired licence is not recommended on this site.
How often are your casino reviews updated?
All reviews are updated every 6 months minimum. We also update immediately when significant changes occur — new ownership, licence changes, major bonus term changes, or emerging player complaints. The "Last Updated" date is visible on every review page.
Can a casino pay to be featured on your site?
No. Casinos cannot pay for placement, positive reviews, or higher rankings. We maintain an affiliate relationship with casinos we recommend — meaning we earn a commission when readers deposit — but the rankings and scores are determined entirely by our independent review process, not by commercial arrangements.
What should I do if I have a problem with a recommended casino?
Contact us directly and we will investigate. If a casino is treating players unfairly, we update our review immediately and may remove the recommendation entirely. You can also escalate to the casino's licensing authority — for iGO-regulated Ontario casinos, the AGCO handles player complaints at agco.ca.
