Licence comes first for me: find the licence number and look it up, and if your country is on the allowed list. Then payments: crypto is a plus but not a must, and cashout times should be listed up front.
Bonuses are the tricky part. Anything above 40x rollover is a red flag for me, and some games count less towards it. A good recent review that covers all of this is here [url=https://cryptoplaypicks.activeboard.com/t73296118/smash-casino-real-money-gaming-in-2026-a-practical-player-gu/]bonus at Smash Casino[/url] and it saved me some time.
I play almost only on my phone, so I check how the lobby works on a small screen. Support matters too: slow or scripted answers usually mean trouble later.
Hope this helps someone. Only play with money you can afford to lose.
