Last updated: June 2026 — Jean-Pierre Simard, Fitandfood
At Fitandfood (fitandfood.info), every bitcoin casino review you read has been personally researched, tested, and written by Jean-Pierre Simard. We are an independent Canadian review platform dedicated to helping players in Canada make informed decisions when choosing a bitcoin casino in 2026. We do not accept payment from operators in exchange for favourable scores, and no casino can buy its way onto our recommended lists.
This page explains exactly how we evaluate each platform, what criteria we examine, how much weight each factor carries in the final score, and how we protect our editorial independence. Transparency is the foundation of everything we publish.
Before spending a single satoshi, Jean-Pierre Simard conducts a thorough background check on the operator. This includes verifying the company registration, checking for any regulatory warnings issued by Canadian or international authorities, and reviewing any historical complaints logged on independent forums and watchdog sites. Casinos with unresolved major complaints or no verifiable ownership are disqualified at this stage and never appear in our reviews.
Jean-Pierre Simard creates a real player account on every site he reviews. He goes through the full sign-up process as an ordinary Canadian player would, including any Know Your Customer (KYC) steps required. This reveals how straightforward or burdensome the registration experience actually is, rather than relying on operator-provided descriptions.
Real bitcoin deposits are made during every review. Jean-Pierre tests deposit limits, confirmation times, and whether the process works smoothly from a Canadian IP address. He also tests any other supported cryptocurrencies such as Ethereum or Litecoin to assess the breadth of payment options.
Jean-Pierre claims the welcome bonus and reads the full terms and conditions in detail. He evaluates wagering requirements, restricted games, maximum bet rules, time limits, and the overall fairness of the promotional offer. Any misleading or predatory bonus terms are flagged explicitly in the review.
A representative sample of games is played across multiple categories including slots, table games, and live dealer titles. Jean-Pierre notes software providers, loading speed, fairness certifications, and the overall variety available to Canadian players.
Support channels are contacted directly, including live chat and email. Jean-Pierre records response times, the quality of answers provided, and whether agents are knowledgeable about bitcoin-specific questions.
A withdrawal in bitcoin is requested to verify processing speed, any additional verification requirements, and whether the stated payout times match reality. This step is critical and cannot be skipped.
The casino is accessed on a mobile device to assess browser compatibility, app availability, game performance, and ease of completing transactions on a smaller screen.
Each casino receives a final score out of 10. The score is built from six weighted categories as shown in the table below.
| Category | Weighting | What We Examine |
|---|---|---|
| Licensing and Safety | 25% | Valid gambling licence, SSL encryption, responsible gambling tools, provably fair certification, company transparency |
| Bonuses and Promotions | 20% | Welcome bonus value, wagering requirements, bonus terms fairness, ongoing promotions for Canadian players |
| Game Selection | 20% | Number of titles, software providers, live dealer options, slots variety, RTP transparency |
| Payment Methods | 15% | Supported cryptocurrencies, deposit and withdrawal limits, processing speed, fees |
| Customer Support | 10% | Availability hours, response speed, quality of help, bitcoin-specific knowledge |
| Mobile Experience | 10% | Mobile browser performance, app quality if available, full feature accessibility on mobile |
All casinos are scored on a scale of 1 to 10. Here is how to interpret the numbers:
Casinos scoring below 6.0 are not included in our top lists. They may appear in warning articles or blacklists to alert Canadian players to the risks involved.
Independence is not just a claim we make. It is built into how Fitandfood operates. Jean-Pierre Simard funds all test deposits personally and does not receive free credits or promotional accounts from operators. While Fitandfood may earn affiliate commissions when readers sign up through our links, these commissions have absolutely no influence on the scores assigned. A casino that pays a higher commission rate does not receive a higher score. A casino that pays no commission can still appear in our top rankings if the quality warrants it.
Operators are never given the opportunity to review or approve content before publication. If a casino contacts us requesting changes to a published review, we disclose that request within the review itself. Our editorial process belongs entirely to Jean-Pierre Simard and is not subject to external commercial pressure.
Scores are reviewed and updated whenever a casino changes its terms, adds new features, loses its licence, or receives a significant volume of new player complaints. Fitandfood reviews are living documents, not one-time write-ups.
If you have questions about how a specific casino was rated, or if you believe information in one of our reviews is inaccurate, you are welcome to reach out directly. Jean-Pierre Simard reads all correspondence and takes reader feedback seriously when updating scores and reviews on fitandfood.info.
