lucky_blmtMostly a reader, rarely post, but I figured I would share what I look at before signing up anywhere. After trying maybe a dozen sites I stopped trusting the big banners.
I always start with licensing: check who regulates the site, and if your country is on the allowed list. Then payments: card, e-wallets and bank transfer should all be there, and cashout times should be listed up front.
Bonuses are the tricky part. Read the wagering and the max bet rule, and some games count less towards it. A decent independent write-up with the current terms is worth a read here [url=https://forum.hcpforum.com/read-blog/28884]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. Treat it as entertainment, not income.
