```htmlAt Cstm2015.ca, every casino review you read is the result of a structured, hands-on evaluation process carried out personally by Marcus Tremblay. This page explains exactly how we assess Interac casinos operating in Canada, what criteria matter most, and how we keep our ratings honest and independent. Transparency is at the core of everything we do, and we believe you deserve to know the process behind every score before you trust our recommendations.
All reviews published on Cstm2015.ca are researched, tested, and written by Marcus Tremblay, a Canadian gambling industry analyst with years of hands-on experience evaluating online casinos for Canadian players. Marcus does not outsource reviews, rely on operator-supplied materials, or publish ratings without completing the full testing process himself. Every casino listed on this site has been personally accessed and evaluated before a single word of the review is written.
Marcus specifically focuses on the Canadian market and the use of Interac as a payment method, meaning each evaluation places particular weight on how well a casino serves players who prefer to deposit and withdraw using Interac e-Transfer or Interac Online. This specialised focus, combined with direct testing, is what separates Cstm2015.ca from general-purpose review directories.
Before a full review begins, Marcus confirms that the casino accepts players from Canada and supports Interac as a payment option. Sites that fail this basic criterion are not reviewed on Cstm2015.ca.
Marcus checks the casino's licensing credentials directly against the issuing regulatory authority's public database. Only verifiable licences from recognised regulators are accepted as legitimate.
Marcus registers a real player account using Canadian credentials and makes an actual deposit via Interac. This confirms the payment method works as advertised and surfaces any hidden friction in the onboarding process.
A representative sample of games across multiple categories is tested, including slots, table games, and live dealer options. The lobby, filtering tools, and load times are all assessed.
Where a welcome bonus is available, Marcus claims it under real conditions and reviews the full terms and conditions, including wagering requirements, time limits, and game restrictions.
The customer support team is contacted through at least two channels to evaluate response times, helpfulness, and overall professionalism.
A withdrawal is requested via Interac to confirm processing times and verify that the site honours its stated payout timelines.
The casino is accessed on a mobile device to evaluate the responsiveness of the site or app, game availability on mobile, and ease of completing transactions on a smaller screen.
Each casino receives a final score out of 10, calculated as a weighted average across six core criteria. The table below shows how each category contributes to the overall score.
| Criteria | Weighting | What We Evaluate |
|---|---|---|
| Licensing & Safety | 25% | Valid licence, SSL encryption, responsible gambling tools, fair play certifications |
| Bonuses & Promotions | 20% | Bonus value, wagering requirements, fairness of terms, ongoing promotions |
| Game Selection | 20% | Variety, software providers, live casino options, RTP transparency |
| Payment Methods | 15% | Interac functionality, deposit and withdrawal speeds, transaction limits, fees |
| Customer Support | 10% | Availability, response time, quality of answers, support channels offered |
| Mobile Experience | 10% | Mobile compatibility, performance, full feature access on mobile devices |
Every casino reviewed on Cstm2015.ca receives a score between 1 and 10. Here is how to interpret those scores:
Independence is non-negotiable at Cstm2015.ca. Marcus Tremblay does not accept payment from casinos in exchange for positive reviews or higher scores. While this site may earn affiliate commissions when readers click through to a casino and register, those commercial relationships have zero influence on the ratings or written content. A casino earns its score through the testing process described above, not through its affiliate terms.
If a casino's performance improves or declines over time, its review and score are updated to reflect current conditions. Readers can trust that what they see on Cstm2015.ca reflects real, up-to-date testing rather than a one-time snapshot written years ago and never revisited.
Our sole obligation is to the Canadian players who use this site to make informed decisions. That commitment guides every review published on cstm2015.ca.
