Last updated: May 2026 — Marcus Tremblay, Boon Town
At Boon Town (boon-town.com), every casino review you read is the result of a structured, hands-on evaluation process carried out by Marcus Tremblay, a Canadian gambling industry analyst with over a decade of experience covering the online casino space. This page explains exactly how we assess Interac casinos operating in Canada, what criteria we use, how much weight each factor carries, and how we ensure our ratings remain honest, independent, and useful to Canadian players in 2026.
We believe you deserve to know precisely where our scores come from. Transparency is not optional for us — it is the foundation of everything we publish.
Marcus personally tests every casino before a single word of a review is written. There are no shortcuts, no reviews written from press kits, and no scores assigned without real account activity. Here is the exact process followed for each site:
Each casino is scored on a scale of 1 to 10 across six core categories. These category scores are then combined using the weightings below to produce a single overall Boon Town rating out of 10.
| Category | Weighting | What We Evaluate |
|---|---|---|
| Licensing and Safety | 25% | Valid licence from a recognised authority, SSL encryption, responsible gambling tools, fair RNG certification, and clear terms and conditions. |
| Bonuses and Promotions | 20% | Welcome offer value, wagering requirements, bonus clarity, ongoing promotions, and loyalty programme quality. |
| Game Selection | 20% | Total number of titles, software provider diversity, live casino offering, jackpot games, and table game variety. |
| Payment Methods | 15% | Quality of the Interac integration, deposit and withdrawal speeds, transaction limits, fees, and availability of other Canadian-friendly options. |
| Customer Support | 10% | Availability hours, response times, quality of answers, number of contact channels, and language support for Canadian players. |
| Mobile Experience | 10% | Browser compatibility, load speeds on mobile, game availability on smaller screens, and dedicated app quality where applicable. |
Every casino reviewed on Boon Town receives a final score out of 10. Here is how to interpret those scores:
Independence is something Marcus Tremblay takes seriously. Boon Town may earn affiliate commissions when readers click through and register at a recommended casino. However, this commercial relationship never influences our scores or recommendations. Casinos are rated on merit alone. A site that pays a higher commission rate does not receive a higher rating — and sites with poor practices are rated poorly regardless of any financial arrangement.
Marcus does not accept payment for positive reviews, does not allow casinos to preview or alter review content before publication, and does not remove negative findings at an operator's request. Every score is supported by documented, first-hand testing notes. If a casino improves or deteriorates after our initial review, we revisit and update the rating to reflect the current reality — not the original agreement.
Our only obligation is to Canadian players looking for trustworthy Interac casino options in 2026.
