Been around these sites long enough now that I barely look at the flashy bonus stuff anymore. First thing I wanna know is whether the place actually pays, how they handle ID checks, and whether support turns into ghosts the second you try to cash out something decent. A lot of the write-ups you find off-site feel pretty cooked too, like they all say every place is amazing and none of them mention the annoying bits.
So how are you lot judging a casino before you sign up now? Do you mainly go off forum posts, payout stories, licensing, game providers, max cashout rules buried in the promo terms... what actually matters most to you? I reckon after a while you get a nose for dodgy ones pretty quick, but every now and then one still slips through looking fine until withdrawal time.
Keen to hear what your main green flags and red flags are these days. Stuff like slow verification, weird bonus wording, limits on weekends, support copy-pasting rubbish, that sort of thing. If you've got a routine before chucking a deposit in, post it up mate.
