lucky_lvmtLong time lurker here, so here is how I pick an online casino these days. After a few bad experiences I stopped going by ads alone.
I always start with licensing: see which authority is listed in the footer, because some sites quietly block certain regions. Then payments: card, e-wallets and bank transfer should all be there, and there should be no weird fees on cashouts.
Never judge a site by the bonus alone. Anything above 40x rollover is a red flag for me, and live tables often do not count at all. A useful overview with bonus rules, app info and payment methods is here [url=https://www.intensedebate.com/people/id62rp75xx]lottoland[/url] so you know what you are signing up for.
I play almost only on my phone, so I check how the lobby works on a small screen. Test the live chat before depositing: if they answer in a couple of minutes that is a good sign.
Anyway, that is my routine. Set a budget and stick to it.
