Our Review Philosophy
Every casino review on ManonCyr.ca is based on hands-on testing by our editorial team. We do not rely solely on casino-provided information or accept payment for favourable reviews. Our scoring system uses a weighted matrix across eight categories to generate an objective numerical score.
Initial Licence Check
Before testing begins, we verify the casino's licence with the issuing regulatory body. We only proceed with review if a valid licence from an approved regulator (MGA, UKGC, Kahnawake, AGCO) is confirmed. Unlicensed casinos are not reviewed.
Account Creation & KYC Testing
We create a real player account using standard Canadian registration details. We assess ease of registration, time to complete KYC, documents required, and the clarity of the account verification process.
Real Money Deposits
We deposit real money using Interac, credit card, and where available, cryptocurrency. We record deposit confirmation times, any fees, and the user experience of the cashier.
Bonus Claim & Wagering
We claim the welcome bonus and play through wagering requirements. We verify that the wagering requirements, game contribution rates, and bonus terms match what is advertised.
Game Library Testing
We test a sample of slots, live casino games, and table games across mobile and desktop. We assess game variety, software providers, loading speeds, and mobile compatibility.
Withdrawal Testing
We request a withdrawal and measure the time from request submission to funds received. We record any additional verification requirements and note whether the casino imposed unreasonable withdrawal delays.
Customer Support Assessment
We contact support via live chat and email with structured test queries. We measure response time, accuracy of answers, and helpfulness of the support agents.
Scoring & Publication
Results are entered into our scoring matrix. The lead reviewer signs off on the final score. Reviews are published with a disclosure of the test date and testing conditions.

Review Updates
Casino conditions change. We re-test all listed casinos every 6 months and update scores based on current performance. Player complaints received via our site trigger out-of-cycle re-reviews. The "Last updated" date on each review page reflects the most recent re-test.
Independence Policy
Our editorial team operates independently from our commercial team. Reviewers are not informed of commission rates at casinos they are reviewing. See our Affiliate Disclosure for full transparency on our commercial relationships.
