Our Team

G. Harcastle is a Toronto-based iGaming Content Editor with nearly a decade of experience producing editorial content for the Canadian online gambling market. His career began in sports-betting journalism before he transitioned into the broader world of iGaming, where he quickly developed a specialty in online casino game reviews, with a particular focus on crash games, slots, and table game variants popular among Canadian players.

Over the years, Harcastle has built a reputation for meticulous, player-first writing that cuts through promotional noise to deliver genuinely useful guidance. He has contributed to several well-regarded Canadian gambling portals, evaluating everything from RTP figures and volatility ratings to bonus structures and software provider reputations. His reviews are known for their methodical approach — every game is assessed hands-on before a word is written.

Harcastle is a strong advocate for responsible gambling and ensures that every piece he produces includes clear, accurate information about safe-play tools, deposit limits, and support resources available to Canadian players. He keeps a close eye on provincial regulatory developments — including updates from the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) — to ensure his content remains compliant and trustworthy across all Canadian markets.

When he is not reviewing the latest crash game or dissecting a new slot mechanic, Harcastle enjoys following the CFL and exploring the Canadian indie gaming scene. His work on mines-ca.com reflects his core belief that well-informed players are empowered players.

L. Michel serves as a Gambling Compliance Expert reviewer for mines-ca.com, examining all published content to verify its alignment with Canadian iGaming regulations, responsible-gambling standards, and factual accuracy. Michel's review process focuses on ensuring that game descriptions, bonus terms, and regulatory references correctly reflect the rules and frameworks applicable to Canadian players across all provinces.

In this role, Michel assesses content for compliance with responsible-gambling best practices, confirming that player-protection information — including self-exclusion options, deposit limits, and problem-gambling resources — is presented clearly and correctly. Any content published on mines-ca.com has been reviewed by Michel to meet the editorial and regulatory integrity expected in the Canadian market.
