Been looking around at a few places lately and realised I probably rate them a bit differently now than I did a couple of years back.
These days I’m mostly checking the boring stuff first - cashout speed, whether the game providers are actually decent, if the mobile version runs properly, and whether support is gonna be a pain if something gets stuck. I used to just look at the game lobby and chuck a few spins on, but that can go sideways pretty quick if the payments are slow or the rules are buried somewhere weird.
For the regulars here, what matters most to you before you sign up or deposit? Licensing? Deposit methods? Withdrawal limits? RTP info? KYC not being a bloody nightmare?
Also keen to know if there are any red flags that make you bail straight away. Not really chasing a "best site" list, more just trying to get a feel for what people in Aus actually look for now.
