What do you check before trying a new casino?

[Afi4wins]

I've made my checklist even more simpler nowadays - I only need to check on 2 things - most importantly, availability of Skrill, secondly, availability of MYR currency - MUST HAVE both then only I would sign up at any casino...new or old.

If not available, the casino can offer me 100 or 200 no-wager free spins and I still WON'T SIGN UP!

Hahaha...YEAH, TRUE! 

After all the hassles, barriers, barricades and nuisances that I've gone through at various casinos, they are all meaningless to me nowadays...because I have my Asian casinos to play at anytime anyday I want to, without any worries whatsoever!

Withdrawal terms first for me too - max cashout limits and pending times tell you straight how a casino treats actual winners. I also look at whether the games are audited. A fat welcome bonus means nothing if they throttle payouts to a trickle once you're up.

For me, withdrawals and player feedback come first. Bonuses are nice, but a smooth payment experience matters more in the long run.

So many new casinos these days don't offer skrill, pretty wild really.

For me it’s less about the welcome bonus and more about whether there’s a reason to actually stick around — good game selection, smooth withdrawals and a community that doesn’t feel completely anonymous. I’d rather be somewhere smaller where people actually know each other than just feel like account #40,000

First what i check is rating on trust pilot,all this welcome bonus cash out time etc is useless if site is scam

[loceff13]

I've never seen much value in trustpilot, it's mostly negative user experiences or people that have been paid/encouraged to post positive feedback.

Before considering any casino and their terms of grandeur I search google or any other search to find player reviews to see what I can get from their experiences.

So.....if a @cocopop3011 casino existed, close one to it being Cocobet, I learn about what others have experienced to get a collective amount of information to determine if her casino pays players. Once I read the majority of reviews are positive then I consider the terms.

Oh, it looks like her casino has 10x cash out limit but I do love that the wagering of bonuses are only 1x Ooooohhhhh, another thing I love is her loyalty program! Emerald, ruby, sapphire, diamond statuses

Maybe there is a gap in the market for Cocopop Casino!

[formerPokerpro]

atleast 2 times in my "career" these free sign up bonuses made me ineligible for the first deposit bonus. (its been ages and i dont recall the casinos, i think one was cazumo but i am not 100% sure)

i adives everyone to always ask support wether thats the case or not

Shouldn't be the case though, since you don't make a deposit to get the sign up freebie so the 1ST DEPOSIT bonus offer would still stand (unless you made something from the freebie and had to deposit in order to verify and withdraw).

[Blackjax]

Some casinos lock your bonus money too. So you can only wager your bonus through real money. If that was the case then you are not eligible for the first deposit bonus. 

This is an example 

[loceff13]

It is odd for a casino to kneecap themselves like that, nothing worse than finding a casino you like and them being unwilling to offer you deposit bonuses etc after the first deposit/bonus claims

[formerPokerpro]

this is to lure in unexperienced players imo.

they think they get their "free spin win" without any strings attached and the casino saves on the fdp offer.

shady tactic that is not that unocommon sadly
