Last updated: June 2026 — Marcus Tremblay, 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Each casino is scored across six categories. The final score out of 10 is a weighted average based on the following breakdown:
| Category | Weighting | What We Assess |
|---|---|---|
| Licensing and Safety | 25% | Regulatory body, player fund protection, responsible gambling tools |
| Bonuses and Promotions | 20% | Welcome offer value, wagering requirements, ongoing promotions |
| Game Selection | 20% | Library size, software providers, live dealer availability |
| Payment Methods | 15% | Withdrawal speed, available methods, transaction limits, fees |
| Customer Support | 10% | Response time, availability, quality of assistance |
| Mobile Experience | 10% | Browser performance, app quality, mobile payment support |
All casinos are scored on a scale of 1 to 10. Here is how to read those scores:
