How We Rate Casinos
At BC Export Asia Pacific, we evaluate every Interac casino featured on our site using a rigorous, transparent methodology. Our ratings help Canadian players identify trustworthy, safe, and entertaining online casinos. Here's exactly how we assess each platform.
Licensing & Regulation
Licensing and regulatory compliance is our top priority. We verify that casinos hold valid licenses from recognized authorities including:
- Malta Gaming Authority (MGA)
- United Kingdom Gambling Commission (UKGC)
- Curaçao Gaming Authority
- Local Canadian provincial licenses where applicable
Casinos without proper licensing receive significantly lower ratings, as they pose greater risk to players.

We assess the breadth and quality of gaming options, including:
- Slot machine variety and quality
- Live dealer games (blackjack, roulette, baccarat)
- Table games and specialty offerings
- Partnerships with reputable software providers (NetEnt, Microgaming, Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, etc.)
A diverse portfolio of games from multiple providers scores higher in our ratings.
Bonus Terms & Wagering Requirements
We carefully review promotional offers for fairness and transparency, evaluating:
- Clarity of Terms & Conditions
- Wagering requirement multipliers (rollover rates)
- Maximum cashout limits on bonuses
- Game contribution percentages toward wagering
