Spent most of his thirties in credit-union operations and still reads terms pages for fun.

I worked in credit-union operations for most of my thirties, largely on the side of the business that deals with transactions members did not recognise and wanted explained. That work is where the preoccupation on this site comes from. A payment you cannot identify on your own statement is a payment you cannot properly argue about.

I register and fund every account here myself, request at least two withdrawals from each, and pull the statement afterwards to see what the bank actually recorded. Where I do not know something I write that I do not know it, because a confident guess is worse than an admitted gap.

How Emeric tests an Interac casino

Every operator in the ranking is opened from a Canadian address and funded from a personal chequing account. No press accounts and no operator-supplied balances. Each site gets at least two withdrawal requests because the first payout and the second behave differently once an account is verified and that difference is worth reporting.

Support gets one deliberately awkward question in writing per site and the reply is kept. Bonus terms are read in full with the wagering multiplier applied to the real figure rather than the advertised one. Where a claim cannot be checked it does not get published.

What Emeric will not write

No scores out of ten. No payout times presented as service levels off the back of two or three withdrawals. No licence numbers that have not been verified against a public register. No operator called safe when it sits outside every provincial regulator in Canada.
