At Covid19networkofclinicaltrialsnetworks.ca, every casino review you read is the result of a thorough, structured, and independent evaluation process carried out by Ryan Carruthers. We understand that Canadian players need reliable guidance when choosing an Interac casino, and we take that responsibility seriously. This page explains exactly how we assess each site, what criteria matter most, and why you can trust our ratings to be honest and unbiased.
Ryan Carruthers leads all reviews published on this site. Ryan is an experienced gambling industry analyst with a deep focus on the Canadian online casino market. He has spent years studying payment systems, regulatory frameworks, and player experience across dozens of platforms. Crucially, Ryan personally registers an account, makes real deposits using Interac, plays games, contacts customer support, and processes withdrawals at every casino before a review is published. No review on this site is written from a distance or based solely on operator-supplied materials.
This hands-on approach ensures that every rating reflects what a real Canadian player will actually experience, not what a casino's marketing team wants you to believe.
Before investing time in a full review, Ryan first confirms that the casino accepts Canadian players, supports Interac as a deposit and withdrawal method, and holds a valid gambling licence from a recognised authority. Sites that fail this basic check are not reviewed.
Ryan creates a genuine player account using Canadian credentials. He evaluates how smooth the sign-up process is, how long identity verification takes, and whether the experience is intuitive for a first-time user.
A real deposit is made via Interac to verify processing speed, minimum and maximum limits, and whether any hidden fees are applied. A withdrawal is also requested to confirm payout reliability and timing.
Ryan claims any available welcome bonus to assess how straightforward the process is. Every line of the terms and conditions is read to identify unfair wagering requirements, game restrictions, or time limits that could disadvantage players.
A cross-section of games is played, including slots, table games, and live dealer options where available. Software providers are noted and game loading speeds are tested on both desktop and mobile.
Ryan contacts support via live chat, email, or phone to test response times, helpfulness, and the quality of answers provided.
All findings are compiled, scored against our weighted criteria, and written up in a structured review. No review is published until Ryan is satisfied it accurately represents the player experience.
Each casino receives a score from 1 to 10. This overall score is calculated from six weighted categories. Below is a breakdown of those categories and how much each contributes to the final score.
| Rating Category | Weighting | What We Assess |
|---|---|---|
| Licensing and Safety | 25% | Valid licences, SSL encryption, responsible gambling tools, fair RNG certification |
| Bonuses and Promotions | 20% | Welcome offers, ongoing promotions, wagering requirements, fairness of terms |
| Game Selection | 20% | Volume and variety of titles, software provider quality, live casino options |
| Payment Methods | 15% | Interac availability, processing times, fees, deposit and withdrawal limits |
| Customer Support | 10% | Availability hours, response speed, quality of assistance, languages supported |
| Mobile Experience | 10% | Mobile browser performance, app availability, game compatibility on smaller screens |
Independence is the foundation of everything we do at Covid19networkofclinicaltrialsnetworks.ca. While we may earn affiliate commissions when readers click through to a casino and register, this never influences our scores or written assessments. A casino that pays a higher commission rate does not receive a higher rating. Every score is determined solely by the results of Ryan's personal testing and our published criteria.
We do not accept payments from operators in exchange for positive coverage. We do not allow casino representatives to review or alter our content before publication. If a casino we have previously recommended introduces unfair practices or fails to maintain its standards, we update or withdraw our recommendation promptly.
Our readers trust us because we write for them, not for the industry. That principle guides every review published on this site in 2026 and beyond.
