How We Rate

Our Review Methodology at Championsofchangecanada

Every casino review published on championsofchangecanada.com follows a structured, transparent evaluation process developed and carried out by Marcus Tremblay. Our mission is simple: to give Canadian players honest, accurate, and up-to-date assessments of Interac casinos so they can make informed decisions with confidence. This page explains exactly how we arrive at our scores, what we look for, and why you can trust our findings.

Who Conducts Our Reviews

All reviews on Championsofchangecanada are written and verified by Marcus Tremblay, a Canadian gambling industry analyst with years of hands-on experience evaluating online casinos for the Canadian market. Marcus does not rely on press releases, operator-supplied materials, or secondhand information. Every casino is personally tested by Marcus before a single word of a review is written. This means creating a real player account, making actual deposits and withdrawals using Interac, playing a selection of games, contacting customer support, and navigating the site on both desktop and mobile devices.

This direct, first-person testing approach is what separates our reviews from sites that simply repackage operator marketing copy. Our assessments reflect real player experiences in the Canadian market in 2026.

Our Step-by-Step Review Process

Step 1: Initial Screening

Before investing time in a full review, Marcus checks that the casino holds a valid licence from a recognised regulatory authority. Sites that cannot demonstrate legitimate licensing are immediately disqualified and will never appear as a recommendation on Championsofchangecanada.

Step 2: Account Registration and KYC

Marcus registers as a standard player, completing the full sign-up and identity verification process. This tests how smooth, secure, and straightforward the onboarding experience is for a typical Canadian user.

Step 3: Deposit and Withdrawal Testing with Interac

Since our focus is Interac casinos, Marcus personally processes both a deposit and a withdrawal using Interac e-Transfer. Processing times, any fees, and the overall ease of the payment flow are all recorded and factored into the final score.

Step 4: Game Library Evaluation

A representative sample of games across multiple categories — slots, table games, live dealer, and specialty games — is tested for performance, fairness certification, and variety.

Step 5: Bonus Claim and Wagering Review

Marcus claims available welcome bonuses and reviews all promotional terms in detail, including wagering requirements, game restrictions, time limits, and maximum withdrawal caps.

Step 6: Customer Support Contact

Support is contacted through all available channels — live chat, email, and where available, phone — to assess response times, accuracy of answers, and overall helpfulness.

Step 7: Mobile Testing

The full casino experience is tested on a mobile device, including navigation, game loading, payment processing, and support access.

Understanding Our Rating Scale

How Championsofchangecanada Stays Unbiased

Independence is the foundation of everything we do. Championsofchangecanada operates on affiliate commission arrangements, which means we may earn a fee when a reader signs up at a recommended casino. However, this commercial relationship never influences our scores or recommendations. Here is how we protect our editorial integrity:
