Editorial Team & Review Methodology

This page explains who writes and fact-checks the content on this site, and exactly how Winshark Casino was evaluated before publishing our 4.7/5 rating.

Independently reviewed by the Winshark Editorial Team

Who We Are

Our editorial team consists of iGaming writers and researchers who specialize in the Canadian online casino market. Each review is written by a named contributor and independently checked by a second team member before publication.

How We Test a Casino

1 Verify license status directly with the regulator (Kahnawake Gaming Commission, Curaçao eGaming, etc.).

2 Register a real account using the standard sign-up flow, timing each step.

3 Make a real deposit via the most common local method (Interac e-Transfer for Canada) and record processing time.

4 Play a representative sample of slots, live-dealer and crash games, checking published RTP against in-game info panels.

5 Complete KYC verification and request a real-money withdrawal, timing it end-to-end.

6 Contact customer support via live chat and email to test response time and quality.

7 Read the full Terms & Conditions and bonus terms line by line for hidden restrictions.
