lucky_ghmtLong time lurker here, but I figured I would share what I look at before signing up anywhere. After trying maybe a dozen sites I stopped going by ads alone.
Licence comes first for me: find the licence number and look it up, because some sites quietly block certain regions. After that I look at banking: card, e-wallets and bank transfer should all be there, and cashout times should be listed up front.
Bonuses are the tricky part. Wagering of 35x or 40x is normal, and live tables often do not count at all. A decent independent write-up with the current terms is worth a read here [url=https://forum.hcpforum.com/read-blog/28889]Slotshopper[/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: if they answer in a couple of minutes that is a good sign.
Anyway, that is my routine. Only play with money you can afford to lose.
