About Sweep-Stakes-Casino.ca
We are Canada's only dedicated sweepstakes casino research team — not affiliated with any platform, not accepting sponsored reviews.
Our Mission
Sweep-Stakes-Casino.ca was built in 2021 to fill a gap in Canadian iGaming media: a source that specifically covers sweepstakes casinos — not real-money gambling sites — with the same rigour applied to traditional casino reviews.
We test every platform we list, verify every bonus claim, and complete full redemption cycles. Our editorial ratings are independent of our commercial relationships. Affiliate commission structures are disclosed on every page where they apply.
Meet the Team
Our Editorial Team
Our editorial team has covered the sweepstakes casino space since 2021, focusing on Canadian player accessibility, legal compliance, and platform transparency. We write about sweepstakes casinos specifically — promotional, free-to-play platforms — rather than real-money gambling sites.
We test every casino listed on this site with real account sign-ups and verified redemption cycles, and we update our legal pages against current provincial guidance. Nothing here is legal advice — for your own situation, consult the relevant provincial gaming authority.
Legal & Compliance Desk
Tracks federal and provincial gambling law changes that affect sweepstakes casino accessibility in Canada, updates our legal pages against current provincial guidance, and reviews compliance claims made by the platforms we list. This is general information, not legal advice.
Payments & UX Desk
Handles our redemption tests — submitting real SC redemption requests and tracking processing times across the listed platforms — and evaluates mobile usability and the new-player onboarding experience.

📅 Annual Review Cycle
Sweep-Stakes-Casino.ca earns affiliate commissions when readers click casino links and create accounts. This income supports our independent research. Our editorial scores and rankings are not influenced by affiliate relationships — we have listed casinos with lower commission rates above higher-paying alternatives when the evidence supported it. All affiliate relationships are labelled with "sponsored" link attributes.
Why Trust Sweep-Stakes-Casino.ca?
There is a meaningful difference between a review site that lists platforms based on commission rates and one that builds reviews from real testing data. We test every casino listed here at Sweep-Stakes-Casino.ca. That means creating real accounts, collecting actual bonuses, playing real sessions in SC mode, and submitting and receiving real redemption payments. Our payout timing figures are not estimates sourced from platform marketing — they are median measurements from three real test transactions per casino.
Our editorial team covers separate domains of expertise: casino analysis and content, legal and regulatory compliance, and payments and user experience. No single person writes the final review — the platform is evaluated across these areas and the final score reflects a weighted consensus. This structure helps prevent individual bias and keeps our scoring consistent across every casino we cover.
