How We Rate Bitcoin Casinos: Our Review Methodology

At Fimacd, every bitcoin casino review published on fimacd.com is the result of a structured, hands-on evaluation process. Site owner and lead reviewer Amelie Charland personally tests each platform before a single word is written. No casino receives a rating based on reputation alone, third-party data, or operator-supplied information. This page explains exactly how that process works, what criteria matter most, and how we ensure our scores remain independent and trustworthy for Canadian players in 2026.

Who Is Behind These Reviews

Amelie Charland has spent years evaluating bitcoin casinos with a specific focus on the Canadian market. Her background combines practical experience as an active crypto gambler with a disciplined approach to consumer protection and fair play standards. Every casino listed on Fimacd has been visited, tested, and scored by Amelie directly. She creates real accounts, deposits actual funds using bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, plays a representative sample of games, contacts customer support, and initiates withdrawals before finalizing any score.

Our Step-by-Step Review Process

Each review follows the same sequence so that results are consistent and comparable across all casinos on the site.

Rating Criteria and Weightings

Each casino is scored across six categories. The final score out of 10 is a weighted average of these individual category scores.

Category Weight What We Examine
Licensing and Safety 25% Regulatory authority, licence validity, SSL encryption, responsible gambling tools, fairness certifications, and complaint history.
Bonuses and Promotions 20% Welcome offer value, wagering requirements, time limits, game contribution rates, ongoing promotions, and loyalty programs.
Game Selection 20% Total number of titles, software providers, slots variety, table game depth, live dealer coverage, and provably fair options.
Payment Methods 15% Supported cryptocurrencies, bitcoin processing speed, withdrawal limits, fees, and fiat options available to Canadian players.
Customer Support 10% Availability hours, live chat response time, email reply quality, and depth of the FAQ or help centre.
Mobile Experience 10% Mobile browser performance, dedicated app availability, game compatibility on mobile, and ease of depositing or withdrawing on a smartphone.

Understanding Our Rating Scale

Final scores are presented on a scale of 1 to 10. Here is how to read those numbers:

How Fimacd Stays Unbiased

Fimacd does not accept payment from any casino in exchange for a higher rating or a featured placement in top lists. While the site does earn affiliate commissions when readers sign up through our links, this arrangement has no influence on the scores assigned. Casinos that perform poorly receive low scores regardless of any commercial relationship. Amelie Charland makes every rating decision independently, and scores are updated whenever a casino changes its terms, software, or licensing status. Our readers in Canada deserve honest assessments, and maintaining that trust is the foundation on which Fimacd was built.

Flagged and Blacklisted Casinos

Not every casino reviewed earns a place on our recommended lists. If a platform fails to hold a credible licence, shows evidence of delayed or refused withdrawals, operates with manipulated software, or targets vulnerable players with predatory bonus terms, it is flagged or blacklisted entirely. These casinos are documented separately so Canadian players know which platforms to avoid.
