How We Rate

Our Review Methodology at Desidecor

At Desidecor (desidecor.ca), every casino review you read has been personally tested and evaluated by Nathan Carriere. Our mission is simple: to give Canadian players accurate, honest, and detailed assessments of Interac casinos so they can make informed decisions before depositing real money. This page explains exactly how we arrive at our ratings, what criteria we measure, and why you can trust our scores.

Who Reviews the Casinos

Nathan Carriere is the author and owner of Desidecor and the sole reviewer behind every rating published on this site. Nathan has spent years researching and testing online casinos available to Canadian players, with a particular focus on Interac payment functionality, licensing compliance, and the real-money playing experience. Nathan personally registers an account, makes real deposits using Interac, claims available bonuses, plays a cross-section of games, and contacts customer support before writing any review. No casino is rated based on promotional materials alone.

Desidecor operates independently and is not owned or controlled by any casino operator, software provider, or payment processor. Our editorial decisions are made without interference from the gambling industry.

Our Step-by-Step Review Process

Step 1 — Initial Qualification Check

Before a full review begins, Nathan verifies that the casino accepts Canadian players and supports Interac as a deposit and withdrawal method. Casinos that fail this basic requirement are not reviewed on Desidecor.

Step 2 — Licensing and Legal Verification

Nathan checks the casino's licensing credentials against official regulatory databases. He confirms the licence number is real, active, and issued by a recognised authority such as the Kahnawake Gaming Commission, the Malta Gaming Authority, or a comparable body.

Step 3 — Account Registration and Deposit Testing

Nathan creates a genuine player account using Canadian credentials. He completes the full registration flow, submits any required identity verification documents, and processes a real Interac deposit to evaluate speed, accuracy, and ease of use firsthand.

Step 4 — Bonus Claiming and Wagering Evaluation

Any welcome bonus or promotion is claimed exactly as a regular player would claim it. Nathan reads the full terms and conditions, notes wagering requirements, game restrictions, time limits, and maximum cashout caps, then factors these findings directly into the bonus score.

Step 5 — Game Play and Software Assessment

Nathan plays a representative sample of slots, table games, and live dealer titles. He evaluates game variety, software quality, load times, and fairness certification from providers such as eCOGRA or iTech Labs.

Step 6 — Withdrawal Testing

A withdrawal is requested via Interac where possible. Nathan records the time from request to funds received, notes any additional verification steps, and flags any delays or complications.

Step 7 — Customer Support Contact

Nathan contacts the support team through at least two channels — typically live chat and email — and records response times, accuracy of answers, and overall helpfulness.

Step 8 — Mobile Experience Review

The casino is accessed on a mobile browser and, where available, a dedicated app. Nathan evaluates interface design, game availability on mobile, and whether Interac deposits work smoothly on smaller screens.
