1. Stay away from jurisdictions that require sow/sof checks 
2. Check the casino review here at A.G look at not just ratings but any complaints and look at how it was handled . 
3. Look for an E-Cogra approval if they have one this vastly improves the chances things are running legit . 
 
And oh lastly there's a fourth read all the bonus conditions a lot of casino's have bonus protections software running these 
days that prevents wagering on a game that isn't allowed I was among those that raised the idea originally before it got implemented 
so in many cases yourself . 
Anyway sorry for the drill sargent speech i'd rather my fellow gamblers be wise before they hit the wasteland all the 
best and remember like is like a leaf on the wind if you strive to jump high you may catch it before it flys by . 
 
Be well community . 

Hi again,
Really sorry for the slow reply but for some reason I'm not getting the notifications 😕 all I get are the PM notifications @Fiekie247 thank you for pinging me there.
Just to address your points here.
1. I mean, yeah, I can totally sympathize with you here, and as a player I would also prefer having no limit and wager free spins. However, there's always a limit as to how much we are comfortable giving out in rewards as a casino.  There are a few ways to go here, and one would be to give less bonuses but making them wager free and no cap, or give more of them but with caps. The thing is, all players are also different here, right? Some like to get more bonuses but with higher wagering so they get more play time, some hate everything about WR and prefer to get less but without restrictions. My ambition is to somehow tailor it to all players and let them choose which avenue they wanna go.  But as for your point here I see that more as feedback (unless I missed something).
2. It's a bit tricky to answer based on what you just said here. "if stuff isn't hitting over a sustained period of time when bonuses are in play", it comes across as a very subjective interpretation here if you don't mind me saying so. If you have anything specific in that you can provide in terms of "I can show you here that I made 1000 spins in a row on Starburst and hit nothing", it gives it a bit more substance you know? Is this a concern you only have with BitStarz (and winz as you mention here) or is it a wider concern on your end? All game providers need to have license and certification for their games and they all needs to be certified by a third party. In complete honesty it's not my strongest of areas. 
3. The thing is (and I can only speak for BitStarz) we are not a FIAT focused casino, which means there are limited deposit options in FIAT (and even more limited for withdrawals). Some withdrawal options are also quite limited in terms of what currencies we can send to the player and there might be a conversion taking place depending on which one you use. Again, if I ruled the world I would want to offer all options and make them as simple as possible but we are often at the mercy of the providers we can get. But I do sympathize with what you're saying and all I can mention here is that it's how the situation is and based on that you can make an informed decision on how you want to proceed. Sadly I cannot offer anything better for FIAT withdrawals most likely, but I do recommend crypto as a much better solution. I cannot and won't force you to go one way or the other, but I'm just keen on presenting the options you have and you can choose one that suits you (if you wish).

Ok Guys , 
I'm kinda getting sick of the stuff that has gone on with both of you over the overcharging so lets examine this as "Management" can
never be reached for a conversation these days seems there are a few issues pending . 
Now in response to the last customer guy who tried handling me with arrogant rhetoric from Winz.Io here's my response openly 
your joint hardly hits the RTP is questionable and the Wheels always mostly hit Rubbish Prizes (25 spins bronze e.g all the fing time)
 
Bitstarz the Free Spins should not be capped once a customer reaches a certain levels bonuses should not have a maximum 
anything and also you guys are doing the overcharging thing as well must be a DAMA/NV thing well here's the thing I don't like 
being charged for stuff that I shouldn't be . 
 
And as both of you have been saying I need to talk to my Bank about such issues listen here both of you I don't need to be talkin 
to nothing except you two and the overcharging is bs buddies and you know it as is the RTP Percentage its ridiculous for both 
places I've been nice I've been patient but I've been handled by the wrong associate too many times and this was always coming 
I don't pull no punches bro I go all in and tell it like it is . 
 
It's quite simple really I talk to three other guys who run networks and folks will adjust deposits  we went through this kind of stuff 
in Malta ill start with this Island if it comes to it .

If I could spill what I've noticed...buy Bitcoin now if you can.
Pref don't play at cryptosino's with own coins and some providers are already tainted for sure.
Backup or snapshot your games quadruple I'd suggest.
Ow and get rid of those Windows OS'es.
Linux =fun and safer without firewall than Microsoft hiding behind their ridiculous "secure" boot.

Play on Khelosports. You won't find such issues there. They ensure secure and easy deposit and withdrawal process. So when you win and withdraw, you won't be a victim of unnecessary hidden charges.

It's understandable to feel skeptical about the experiences portrayed by streamers and the potential manipulation of games by software companies. It's crucial to prioritize responsible gambling practices and advocate for greater transparency and regulation in the industry.

Hi Astaroth!
@Fiekie247thank you for tagging me
Would be truly grateful if you could elaborate a bit further as to what you mean here, just so I should interpret as feedback and what should be interpreted as some issue that needs to be fixed. Because when you refer the spins not having a max anything, I presume you mean max cash out? That only applies to free spins you got for free (and isn't part of any official promo where you have to deposit). I think that one I would perhaps take a bit as feedback  

As for the RTP, we as a casino cannot do much about that as we don't control the outcome, and I also don't know your username at BitStarz so I cannot verify how much your RTP would deviate from the expected RTP (so if you could provide it I'd be happy to look). That said, the RTP is calculated based on a couple of billions of game rounds so it's hard to draw too big of conclusions from the RTP unless it's over a really long period of time with a lot of volume.
When it comes to what you refer to as overcharging I also am a bit confused there and would really appreciate some further info from you. As for the payment options available to you we display what the fee is there and that's all we charge from our end (or rather, the PSP is charging). Just to clarify, it's not like we put all the cost on the player as we also pay to the PSP (we should be in the PSP business). 
So yeah, would be great if you could help me fill in some blanks here so I can clear some things up hopefully : )

I didn't bother didn't get anywhere with IO can't see the point going down that road with Starz guess its just a case of having 
to like it or get off the boat but that 6.25 on top of the 20 is what was paid extra and that's just one example the situation was never 
concluded at winz.io it just reached a dead end with me hounding folks for answers their all using the same payment gateway 
starz / winz etc all Dama N.V . 
 
Also the part where card withdrawals were not possible with Bitstarz back in the day ....Paaaaleese I spoke with PSP guys a few times 
its like saying one doesn't have the ability to eat candy in a candy shop oh and my ANZ bank brother n law who works for corporate affairs 
said if 'They can take a payment they can make a payment" simple as that I could get Alistair to start talking on here but I think you get the jist . 
 
P.S
Cocopop3011 its a debit card transaction which is becoming a costly business also I noted the minimum deposit has 
been raised greed nothing but greed . 

I have to admit the profiling thingy, seems like I am affected at timss. Where have you seen I do 3/4 consecutive expensive bonus on Hackshaw and win almost nothing? 
I cannot win these days, the last 7 deposit between 25 to 100 euro I lost tbh.
I mainly play at my local casinos where I still won something atleast every now and then. And believe it or not I win as I play on Play 'n Go old school titles, as well some old Playson, and provided such as Evoplay, BGaming and Blueprint. All these old school slots pay at least, and I high roll, placing 1.6 to 4 euro bets. Winnings are not 500 or 1000x but get 200x to 300x wins regularly.
 But in all honestly I hardly gamble in general these days.

That's what I mean bro...true slot soldiers like us would just keep on marching into the forest to fight the relentless 'enemy' - the casino owners and operators. As long as we are still fit and able, we will go on fighting...stopping only when seriously injured...or drop dead. 😝
When the going gets tough, the tough gets going...

I mean seriously is it even worth anymore bro I mean folks are just going to keep walking into places like cattle anyway but those 
on the level you feel me you know its tricky as ***** trying to bounce up these days lol . 

The day any serious gambler like us manages to completely quit the slots would be a huge giant step forward for all gamblers!  😜

BTW casinovibes is a sister casino of Arcanebet casino which is one of the best casinos I have played at. I have made one deposit of NZD 139 which is around $81 but didn't manage a cashout. No freebies for me though.

I primarily use Mifinity to deposit.
0 charges.
When you withdraw, ask for bank transfer directly....SEPA, same currency should be 0 charges.

I've played there they seem ok had no issues so far many deposits etc , customer service seems very responsive and friendly , and all around games/things run smoothly .

Ahhh more smoke and mirrors I've seen it all heard it all .....We are Empowering a Joint and I say a Joint! to become Mrs Caring about gambling Issues whilst they pocket
mass profit (Less now thanks to a few like me) with the ability to withhold winnings they allowed the player to join no problem and took the deposit if they were that serious 
or legit they would be screening every player at the door and you want to know why they are not ! simple ..... their wolves in sheeps clothing who have been empowered 
with the ability to deny cashouts pure and simple when things don't go their way the new rules if found anywhere those casino's will find themselves blacklisted within 
the right networks its that simple we don't trust you ...your responsible gambling cloak gets hung at the door of your mansion paid for by player deposits (which are reducing) .
To all E-Gaming Lawyers remember the basics Anybody can make rules its upto the Judiciary which ones have Legal Effect and I'm just waiting for someone 
to create a Precedent telling you they are wide open for a legal hit . 

Haha, they reel you in then throw you back out 🤣

Frankly as far as I can see the bonus doesn't make much difference these days I'm hitting better than with the bonus at places like Winz.Io and Bitstarz 
I swear at some casino's the bonus is like a nerf around your neck with those wagering requirements . 

Well, obviously, they don't want you to relax anymore whilst playing their games...they want you to SWEAT & SWEAR!!! 😝

So, @Blackjax just shared a screenshot of a 59x wagering requirement of bonus + deposit and it got me thinking. 
Where are we all drawing a line with these wagering requirements and saying, NO, that is not acceptable and I won't deposit to accept the bonus. 

Great if they state it but a kick in the goolies if they don't .
