lucky_thmtMostly a reader, rarely post, so here is what I look at before signing up anywhere. After trying maybe a dozen sites I stopped trusting the big banners.
Licence comes first for me: see which authority is listed in the footer, and if your country is on the allowed list. Then payments: crypto is a plus but not a must, and there should be no weird fees on cashouts.
Bonuses are the tricky part. Wagering of 35x or 40x is normal, and live tables often do not count at all. A good recent review that covers all of this is here [url=https://www.intensedebate.com/people/id62rp75xx]lottoland[/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. Test the live chat before depositing: a real human reply beats a bot loop.
That is about it. Only play with money you can afford to lose.
