Yes, there are several ways to determine if an online casino is legitimate. The most important factor is licensing; a casino with a license from a recognized authority, such as the Swedish Spelinspektionen, Malta Gaming Authority, or UK Gambling Commission, is generally considered safe. You can usually view the license information on the casino’s website, which is public and accessible to users. Other criteria include secure payment methods, fair and audited games, transparent terms and conditions, and positive user reviews. For an overview of casinos that meet these standards and to compare features like bonuses and perks, resources like askgamblers.com or casinor.com can be helpful for research before choosing where to play.

I've never heard of this casino, and even searching the Net I couldn't find anything about it.

In general, at most online casinos, when a withdrawal request exceeds a significant amount, the casino must conduct a thorough check to verify that the player has complied with the casino's terms and conditions, and especially the bonus conditions.

@Jmmaksoud Hi there and welcome to theforum. It is a standard practice for casinos to do a thorough investigation and scrutinisation of a player's account whenever a large withdrawal claim is made. The timeframe involved may vary a lot depending on the casino, ranging from about 1 week to even maybe a few months! So be patient, give it some time and please update us too here.

I had photo and email proof. Just starting this and recording this entire timeframe just to cover myself in case I don’t get payed out. This is day one I’ll give it a week and see what the consensus of this is.
