Take A New Approach is an independent Canadian review site built to help players find safe, reliable Interac e-Transfer casinos. We test every casino we recommend with real-money deposits and withdrawals, so you do not have to take the risk of finding out the hard way.
Our Mission
The Canadian online casino market is crowded with affiliate sites that list operators they have never opened an account with. We take a different approach. Every casino on this site has been tested by our editorial team, which means we have:
- Made a real-money Interac e-Transfer deposit and timed how long it took to credit
- Played through the bonus wagering requirements to confirm the terms are fair
- Requested a withdrawal and tracked the full payout timeline on our own bank accounts
- Contacted customer support to judge response quality and wait times
- Verified the casino's licence with the issuing regulator
Editorial Independence
We earn revenue through affiliate commissions when readers sign up at casinos through our links. That is standard across the industry and it does not affect our rankings. No casino can pay for a higher position on our lists, and we have turned down operators that offered fees for premium placement. Where a brand lands is decided by our testing results and by ongoing player feedback, nothing else.

Lead Editor
Grant Macleod
Casino Editor and Interac Payments Specialist
Grant has reviewed online casinos for more than eight years, with a focus on Canadian payment methods and player protection. He personally tests every Interac casino on the site from Guelph, Ontario, tracking deposit speeds, withdrawal times and bonus fairness on his own TD and RBC accounts. When he is not running test deposits, he is following regulatory changes across the provinces to keep our recommendations current.
Our Review Process
Every casino review on the site follows the same standardised testing protocol:
- Deposit test - we deposit C$50 by Interac e-Transfer and record the time from initiation to account credit.
- Bonus evaluation - we claim the welcome bonus, read the full terms and note wagering requirements, game restrictions and time limits.
- Game check - we confirm the library includes reputable providers such as Microgaming, NetEnt, Pragmatic Play and Evolution, and we test game loading on mobile.
- Withdrawal test - we request an Interac e-Transfer payout and track the time from request to funds landing in our bank account.
- Support test - we contact live chat and email with a realistic question and assess the reply.
- Licence verification - we confirm the licence number with the relevant authority: the MGA, Kahnawake, Curacao or the AGCO.
Casinos that fail any critical test, such as refusing a legitimate withdrawal or operating without a valid licence, are left off our lists no matter how they score elsewhere.
