Mostly a reader, rarely post, thought I would drop my short checklist for choosing a casino site. After getting burned once or twice 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. Next come deposits and withdrawals: card, e-wallets and bank transfer should all be there, and cashout times should be listed up front.
Bonuses are the tricky part. Anything above 40x rollover is a red flag for me, and some games count less towards it. A good recent review that covers all of this can be found here winzter casino review before you deposit anything.
Most of my sessions are on mobile, 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.
