Every cashier on this site was tested and written up by him.
Background
I have never once written a cheque. I am 24, I grew up in Stoney Creek, and for my entire adult life moving money has meant opening a banking app and sending an e-Transfer. That is not a boast, it is the reason I ended up doing this — when I started playing at online casinos I assumed Interac would work the way it does everywhere else in my life, and it mostly does not.
The first site I deposited at listed Interac in its cashier. What actually happened was a redirect to a third-party processor I had never heard of, a separate account, and a withdrawal that came back as a cheque by post. Not a scam — all disclosed somewhere — but nothing like what the little Interac logo on the deposit page had led me to expect.
So I started opening accounts properly and writing down what each cashier actually does: whether the deposit is a real e-Transfer or a processor wearing Interac's name, what the withdrawal comes back as, and how long the money sat in limbo. I went to Mohawk College for business marketing and spend more time than is healthy reading terms pages. My bias, up front: I care far more about how a cashier behaves than how big a bonus is, and I will rank a small clean offer above a huge one every time.
How I Test a Cashier
For every site here I register, complete identity verification the same day, and deposit my own money by Interac e-Transfer where the cashier offers it. I record exactly what the deposit flow does — a genuine e-Transfer to an email address, or a redirect to iDebit, InstaDebit or another processor — because those are different products sharing one logo. Then I read the bonus terms before playing and note the wagering multiple, whether it applies to bonus or deposit-plus-bonus, the max bet while a bonus is live, and any cap on withdrawals. Finally I cash out and write down what came back and whether the cashier asked for documents it had not asked for at signup.
What I Will Not Publish
Withdrawal times in hours, because that number belongs to your bank as much as to the operator. Ratings out of ten, because they turn an argument into a scoreboard and stop people reading the argument. And any licence number I have not looked up myself on the register of the authority that supposedly issued it.
