Last updated: May 2026 — Ryan Macleod, Eprojects
At Eprojects (eprojects.ca), every casino review you read has been personally tested and evaluated by Ryan Macleod before a single word is published. We do not accept payment from operators to influence our scores, we do not copy ratings from other sites, and we do not publish reviews based on promotional materials alone. This page explains exactly how we assess each Interac casino in Canada so you can trust the scores you see and make informed decisions with your own money.
The Canadian online casino market continues to grow rapidly. New platforms launch every month, bonus structures change frequently, and payment processing standards evolve alongside Interac's own technology updates. A review written in 2023 may be completely irrelevant today. Ryan Macleod re-evaluates and updates casino ratings on a rolling schedule to ensure every score on Eprojects reflects current, real-world performance — not outdated information recycled from elsewhere.
Before investing significant time in a full review, Ryan performs a preliminary check. Any casino that lacks a valid licence from a recognised regulatory body, shows evidence of unpaid player complaints, or actively blocks Canadian players is removed from consideration immediately. Only platforms that pass this baseline check proceed to full evaluation.
Ryan registers a real player account using standard Canadian credentials. This process is timed and documented. Any friction in the sign-up flow, unexpected document requests, or region-blocking issues are recorded and factored into the final score.
Because Eprojects focuses specifically on Interac casinos, Ryan personally initiates real-money deposits and withdrawals using Interac e-Transfer. Processing times, minimum and maximum limits, any hidden fees, and the ease of the payment flow are all documented with notes and timestamps.
Welcome bonuses and ongoing promotions are claimed and played through to assess wagering requirements in practice, not just on paper. Ryan reads the full terms and conditions and flags any clauses that could disadvantage players — such as game contribution restrictions, short expiry windows, or maximum bet limits that are easy to breach accidentally.
Ryan browses and plays a representative sample of slots, table games, and live dealer titles. Software providers are identified, game loading speeds are tested on both desktop and mobile, and the overall catalogue depth is assessed against comparable Canadian-facing platforms.
Support is contacted via every available channel — live chat, email, and phone where applicable. Response times are measured and the quality of answers is evaluated. Ryan uses both simple and complex queries to test whether agents are knowledgeable or simply reading from scripts.
The full review process is repeated on a mobile device to confirm that all features, including Interac deposits, function correctly on smaller screens. App availability, browser performance, and touch navigation are all assessed.
Each casino receives a final score out of 10, calculated by combining six weighted categories. Here is how each category is weighted and what Ryan looks for within it:
| Category | Weight | Key Factors Assessed |
|---|---|---|
| Licensing and Safety | 25% | Valid licence jurisdiction, SSL encryption, responsible gambling tools, fairness certifications, complaint history |
| Bonuses and Promotions | 20% | Welcome offer value, wagering requirements, term transparency, ongoing reload offers, loyalty programme quality |
| Game Selection | 20% | Total number of titles, software provider quality, live casino availability, slot variety, table game depth |
| Payment Methods | 15% | Interac e-Transfer availability, deposit and withdrawal speeds, transaction limits, fee structure, CAD currency support |
| Customer Support | 10% | Available channels, response times, agent knowledge, availability hours, language options |
| Mobile Experience | 10% | Dedicated app or browser compatibility, mobile payment support, game performance, navigation usability |
All casinos reviewed on Eprojects receive a final score on a scale of 1 to 10. Here is what each band means in plain language:
Independence is the foundation of everything published on this site. Ryan Macleod operates Eprojects as an editorially independent platform. Here is how we protect that independence in practice:
Eprojects will not recommend any casino that fails to provide meaningful responsible gambling tools. Deposit limits, session time limits, self-exclusion options, and links to support organisations such as the Responsible Gambling Council of Canada are considered essential features, not optional extras. Any platform that omits these tools is automatically capped at a maximum score of 5.0 regardless of performance in other categories.
