Last updated: May 2026 — Ryan Macleod, Extranet2000
At Extranet2000 (extranet2000.ca), every casino review you read is the result of a structured, hands-on evaluation process carried out personally by site owner and lead reviewer Ryan Macleod. This page explains exactly how we assess each Interac casino we cover, what criteria we use, how we weight those criteria, and why Canadian players can trust our findings to be honest, independent, and thorough.
Ryan Macleod personally tests every casino site featured on Extranet2000 before a review is published. That means creating a real player account, making actual Interac deposits and withdrawals, contacting customer support, playing a selection of real-money and demo games, and navigating the mobile experience on both iOS and Android devices. No review on this site is written from a press release, an affiliate brief, or secondhand information. If Ryan has not tested it directly, it does not get reviewed.
Ryan has spent years analysing the Canadian online gambling market, with a specific focus on Interac as a payment method and the practical experience it delivers to Canadian players. This combination of subject-matter expertise and real-money testing is what drives the quality of every rating on this site.
Every casino is scored across six core categories. Each category carries a specific weight that reflects its importance to a Canadian Interac casino player's overall experience.
| Category | Weight | What We Assess |
|---|---|---|
| Licensing and Safety | 25% | Regulatory licences held, responsible gambling tools, SSL encryption, fairness certifications, and player fund protection measures. |
| Bonuses and Promotions | 20% | Welcome bonus value, wagering requirements, game contribution rates, maximum bet rules, time limits, and the fairness of ongoing promotions. |
| Game Selection | 20% | Total number of titles, variety across categories, software provider quality, RTP transparency, and live dealer offerings. |
| Payment Methods | 15% | Interac availability and reliability, deposit and withdrawal limits, processing times, fees, and the range of other supported Canadian banking options. |
| Customer Support | 10% | Availability hours, number of contact channels, response speed, quality of answers, and availability of French-language support. |
| Mobile Experience | 10% | Browser compatibility, app availability, loading performance, navigation ease, and whether all key features are accessible on mobile. |
Each casino receives a final score on a scale of 1 to 10, calculated by combining the weighted scores from all six categories above.
Extranet2000 operates independently. Ryan Macleod is not employed by, contracted to, or financially influenced by any of the casinos reviewed on this site. While some reviews may contain affiliate links that generate a commission if a reader signs up, this commercial relationship has no bearing on scores or editorial conclusions. A casino cannot pay to improve its rating, avoid a negative finding, or be included in our recommended lists.
Scores are assigned after testing is complete, not before. Casinos are never given the opportunity to review or amend content prior to publication. Where a casino improves or worsens its offering over time, reviews are updated to reflect the current experience — and score changes are noted transparently within the article.
Our sole obligation is to Canadian players looking for a trustworthy Interac casino. That commitment shapes every review we publish on extranet2000.ca.
This methodology was last reviewed and confirmed accurate in 2026. If our review process changes in any meaningful way, this page will be updated to reflect those changes promptly.
