I’m probably somewhere in the middle on this. RTP matters to me more as a transparency/trust thing than as a guarantee of how a session will go. A 96% slot can still drain your balance for hours, and a 94% one can randomly pop off in 20 spins. But I do think casinos should be upfront about which version they’re running. That’s the part that bothers me more than the exact percentage itself. I also get what people mean when they say a game “feels off”. Sometimes it’s probably variance and psychology, but there are definitely lower-RTP versions that feel noticeably more brutal during base gameplay.

New account plus first decent cashout usually means paperwork before money, which is annoying but pretty normal. I’d get every document ready now rather than waiting for them to drip-feed requests. The bit that would make me uneasy isn’t a day-one delay, it’s if they go quiet or keep moving the goalposts with KYC. Also worth double-checking whether a bonus was involved, just so there isn’t a withdrawal cap or stake-limit surprise hiding in the small print.
