Been reading this board for a while, thought I would drop my short checklist for choosing a casino site. After getting burned once or twice I learned to read the small print first.
I always start with licensing: see which authority is listed in the footer, and if your country is on the allowed list. After that I look at banking: crypto is a plus but not a must, and there should be no weird fees on cashouts.
Bonuses are the tricky part. Read the wagering and the max bet rule, and live tables often do not count at all. A good recent review that covers all of this can be found here lees meer and it saved me some time.
I play almost only on my phone, and if there is an app I make sure it comes from the official page. Support matters too: a real human reply beats a bot loop.
Hope this helps someone. Only play with money you can afford to lose.
