spinner_mbSrLong time lurker here, but I figured I would share my short checklist for choosing a casino site. After trying maybe a dozen sites I stopped going by ads alone.
Licence comes first for me: check who regulates the site, and if your country is on the allowed list. Next come deposits and withdrawals: crypto is a plus but not a must, and there should be no weird fees on cashouts.
The welcome offer is where most people get caught. Wagering of 35x or 40x is normal, and live tables often do not count at all. A useful overview with bonus rules, app info and payment methods can be found here [url=https://forums.riversidefriends.org/member.php?action=profile&uid=32612]Gamblezen[/url] so you know what you are signing up for.
I play almost only on my phone, and if there is an app I make sure it comes from the official page. Test the live chat before depositing: if they answer in a couple of minutes that is a good sign.
Hope this helps someone. Set a budget and stick to it.
