Last updated: May 2026 — Mitchell Carrière, Boutinbisson
Every review published on Boutinbisson reflects a structured, hands-on evaluation process carried out by Mitchell Carrière. This page explains exactly how that process works, what criteria are assessed, how scores are calculated, and why you can trust the conclusions reached on boutinbisson.com. Transparency is not a talking point here — it is the foundation of everything we publish.
Mitchell Carrière is the author, researcher, and lead reviewer behind Boutinbisson. With a focused background in Canadian online gambling regulation, payment systems, and player protection standards, Mitchell personally tests every casino listed on this site before a single word of a review is written. That means creating a real account, making a real deposit using Interac, claiming available bonuses, playing a cross-section of games, contacting customer support, and attempting a withdrawal — all before any rating is assigned. No casino is reviewed based on press materials, operator-supplied information, or secondhand reports alone.
Each Interac casino review on Boutinbisson follows the same sequential process to ensure consistency and fairness across all evaluations.
Boutinbisson uses a 10-point numerical rating scale. Each casino receives a score from 1.0 to 10.0, calculated as a weighted average across six core categories. A score of 9.0 or above indicates an exceptional operator. Scores between 7.0 and 8.9 represent solid, recommended options. Scores between 5.0 and 6.9 reflect average platforms with notable shortcomings. Anything below 5.0 is not recommended to Canadian players.
| Rating Category | Weighting | What Is Assessed |
|---|---|---|
| Licensing and Safety | 25% | Regulatory licence validity, jurisdiction reputation, SSL encryption, responsible gambling tools, and data protection practices. |
| Bonuses and Promotions | 20% | Bonus value, fairness of wagering requirements, clarity of terms, variety of ongoing promotions, and loyalty programme quality. |
| Game Selection | 20% | Number and variety of titles, software provider quality, availability of live dealer games, and RTP transparency. |
| Payment Methods | 15% | Interac deposit and withdrawal support, processing speeds, applicable fees, deposit and withdrawal limits, and available alternative payment options. |
| Customer Support | 10% | Availability hours, number of contact channels, response speed, accuracy of information provided, and professionalism of support staff. |
| Mobile Experience | 10% | Mobile site or app usability, game availability on mobile, navigation quality, and performance on both iOS and Android devices. |
Independence from casino operators is non-negotiable at Boutinbisson. Mitchell Carrière does not accept payment from casinos in exchange for favourable reviews or elevated ratings. While boutinbisson.com may earn referral commissions when readers sign up through affiliate links — a standard and disclosed practice across the industry — these commercial arrangements have no influence whatsoever on the scores or written conclusions of any review.
Casinos are never given advance sight of their reviews before publication. No operator can request edits to a score or review content. If a casino improves or deteriorates over time, its rating is updated to reflect current conditions rather than preserved for commercial reasons. Negative findings are reported plainly and without omission.
The Canadian online casino landscape evolves quickly. Licensing statuses change, bonus offers are revised, and payment processing capabilities shift. Mitchell Carrière revisits published reviews on a regular schedule to ensure that ratings and written content accurately reflect the current state of each platform. If something material changes between review cycles, updates are made promptly and the revision date is noted on the relevant page.
If you have questions about how a specific casino was evaluated, or if you believe a review requires correction based on your own experience, you are encouraged to get in touch through the contact page at boutinbisson.com. Reader feedback is taken seriously and contributes to the ongoing accuracy of this site.
