How We Rate Casinos

    At dxt.so, we review new Interac casinos available to Canadian players. Every casino is evaluated using the eight categories below, listed in order of importance. We combine hands-on testing, document review, and player feedback to produce a final 1–10 score.

    1. Licensing & Regulation

    We first verify that a casino is legally allowed to operate. We prioritize operators licensed by the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA), the United Kingdom Gambling Commission (UKGC), and reputable Curaçao master license holders. For Canadian players, we also check for a local provincial license, such as iGaming Ontario, AGCO, or a Kahnawake Gaming Commission permit. Casinos without a valid license or with a history of regulatory action are excluded.

    2. Game Selection & Software Providers

    We evaluate the size and quality of the game library, including slots, live casino games, and table games. Strong casinos work with leading software providers such as Evolution, NetEnt, Pragmatic Play, Microgaming, and Play’n GO. We look for thousands of slot titles, multiple blackjack and roulette variants, baccarat, poker, and a live dealer section with professional streaming and real-time interaction.

    3. Bonus Terms & Wagering Requirements

    We read every bonus term and condition before recommending an offer. Our review focuses on wagering requirements, rollover, maximum cashout limits, minimum deposit rules, game contribution percentages, and time limits. We give higher scores to transparent bonuses with wagering requirements of 35x or lower and no hidden traps. Predatory terms, such as extremely low max cashout or unfair game weighting, lower the score.

    4. Payment Methods & Withdrawal Speed

    For Canadian players, we test payment methods including Interac e-Transfer, Interac Online, crypto, e-wallets, and bank transfers. We check deposit speed, withdrawal processing time, fees, and transaction limits. Casinos that process Interac withdrawals within 0–24 hours and offer fee-free banking score highest. Slow payouts, high minimum withdrawal limits, or missing CA-friendly options are penalized.

    5. Customer Support

    We contact support through live chat and email to measure responsiveness and accuracy. The best casinos offer 24/7 live chat with knowledgeable agents, fast email replies, and a useful FAQ or help center. We also test how support handles issues related to payments, verification, and bonuses. Poor support or unavailable live chat reduces the overall rating.

    6. Mobile Experience

    We evaluate how well a casino works on smartphones and tablets. A strong mobile experience includes responsive design, fast loading times, full access to games and banking, and dedicated iOS or Android apps where available. We test mobile Interac deposits, game performance, and navigation. Casinos that force players to download outdated apps or have broken mobile layouts score lower.

    7. Responsible Gaming Tools

    Responsible gambling features are essential. We check for deposit limits, loss limits, session limits, cooling-off periods, self-exclusion, reality checks, and direct links to problem gambling support organizations. Casinos with comprehensive, easy-to-find responsible gaming tools score higher. A lack of self-exclusion or clear account limits negatively impacts the rating.

    8. Our Rating Scale

    Each category is scored from 1 to 10, then weighted according to its importance in the list above. The final score is rounded to one decimal place.
