How We Compare Payout Speed, Bonuses & Licences
Every figure on this site has a source and a date, and you should be able to see both. This page explains how we choose the three casinos, where each number comes from, what we cannot confirm and how often we check again, so you can judge the comparison for yourself.

How do you pick the three casinos?
We picked three casinos on purpose: Hellspin, Velobet, Spinimax. Each one accepts Canadian players, lists Interac for Canada, pays out in crypto and asks 40x wagering on its welcome bonus.
None of the 3 wins on everything, so we do not crown one overall. The hub shows each casino with the job it does best, and the card order rotates on each visit.
Where do the numbers come from?
Each fact is labelled with the kind of source behind it.
| Source type | What it covers | How we show it |
|---|---|---|
| Operator information | Bonus, wagering, minimums such as the $10 deposit, payment methods, stated payout speed | "Operator-stated", with the check date |
| Regulator | iGaming Ontario directory, AGCO role, CRA tax guidance | Named in the source note |
| Primary law | Criminal Code section 207 | Linked to the federal statute site |
| Third-party review | Details of licences that differ from operator data | Shown next to the operator line, never instead of it |
| Our own maths | Wagering and RTP worked examples, calculators | Marked as worked examples |
What we do not do: we do not claim payout speed tests we did not run, we do not publish star ratings, and we do not quote player wins. If we ever add our own deposit and withdrawal tests, they will come with dated screenshots.
How often is the data checked?
Bonus terms and wagering change often, and so do cashier lists, so they get the closest watch. Here is the routine we follow for all 3 casinos.
- Monthly: offers and wagering, plus the minimum withdrawal, re-checked for all three casinos.
- When an operator changes terms: the page is updated and the new check date shown.
- Quarterly: regulator pages, including the iGaming Ontario directory, re-read.
- Any time a reader reports an error: we verify it and correct the page.
Licences get the closest check. At our last check we could not open the Curaçao Gaming Authority register, so details of each licence are shown as operator-stated with third-party notes beside them.
Methodology questions
Do the casinos write any of this?
No. Operators supply offer and cashier data, which we label as operator-stated. The wording, the worked examples and the trade-offs we list for each casino are ours.
How do I report a wrong figure?
Write to us through the contact page with the page and the figure. Corrections are dated on the page once checked.
Why are some speeds marked operator-stated?
Because they come from the operator, and payout speed depends on your own account too. We show where the clock starts so you can read them fairly.

Why responsible gambling sits next to every comparison
A fast payout only helps if the money stays yours. That is why every page ends with an age note, 19+ in most provinces and 18+ in Alberta, Manitoba or Quebec, and a link to responsible gambling help. Our responsible gambling page lists deposit limits and self-exclusion, plus the ConnexOntario line, 1-866-531-2600, which is free and open 24/7.
InteracPayout.ca is an independent guide, not a casino.
