How We Rate

Our Review Methodology at Brewbyintern

At Brewbyintern, every casino review published on brewbyintern.com is the result of a structured, hands-on evaluation process. Site owner and lead reviewer Marcus Tremblay personally tests each platform before a single word is written. No review is based on press releases, operator briefs, or secondhand information. This page explains exactly how that process works and how we arrive at every score you see on our site.

Who Reviews the Casinos

Marcus Tremblay is the sole author and reviewer behind Brewbyintern. With years of experience evaluating online casinos for Canadian players, Marcus brings a focused perspective on what matters most to players in the CA market in 2026: speed of withdrawals, licensing integrity, and genuine value. Every casino listed on this site has been accessed, tested, and scored by Marcus directly using real player accounts.

Brewbyintern operates independently of all casino operators. We are not owned by, funded by, or editorially influenced by any gambling company. Affiliate relationships, where they exist, do not influence scores or rankings.

The Step-by-Step Review Process

Step 1: Initial Screening

Before a full review begins, Marcus checks whether the casino holds a valid licence recognised in Canada. Any platform that fails this check is removed from consideration entirely. Only licensed, legally operating platforms move forward.

Step 2: Account Registration and Verification

Marcus creates a real player account using standard Canadian details. This tests the sign-up flow, identity verification requirements, and how the casino handles new player onboarding. Any friction or red flags at this stage are documented.

Step 3: Deposit and Bonus Claim

A real deposit is made using payment methods commonly available to Canadian players. Welcome bonuses and promotions are claimed as a regular player would. Bonus terms are read in full and evaluated for fairness, including wagering requirements, game restrictions, and maximum withdrawal caps.

Step 4: Gameplay Testing

Marcus plays a cross-section of games including slots, table games, and live dealer titles. Game load times, software quality, and overall library depth are assessed during this phase.

Step 5: Withdrawal Testing

This is the core focus of Brewbyintern. Marcus submits a real withdrawal request and records every step: how long verification takes, how long the processing window lasts, and how quickly funds arrive. Withdrawal speed is a primary signal in our final scoring.

Step 6: Customer Support Evaluation

Marcus contacts support through live chat and email to test response times, accuracy of answers, and overall helpfulness. Support is tested at different times of day where possible.

Step 7: Mobile Testing

The casino is accessed on a mobile browser and, where available, a dedicated app. Navigation, game availability, and payment functionality on mobile are all reviewed.
