Top 5 Things to Consider When Choosing an Online Casino

[Awaklara]

Choose an online casino with game variety

Always look for game variety. By game variety, we mean a lot of table games and a lot of slot games.

Game variety may be important, but it is not the primary choice of gamblers looking for casinos. usually, gamblers who already like 1 game like cards or dice, then he will look for that game. don't even care about the many other games that are presented by the casino.
some gamblers tend to be more fanatical about just 1 or two games. what most are looking for is the convenience of playing and easy service when facing problems. friendly and responsive support is also essential to keep gamblers in their casino.

Honestly, RNG and other related stuff are not being considered as a factor when choosing online casinos at most.

If someone makes a research about the gambling site to be used, what he would be looking for is reputation, how fast and good  their customer care is, their deposit and withdrawal. Some people can also check for deposit bonus and other promotional offers. So I will say that you are saying the right thing.

About security, can we really tell that our information is secured at these sites? Simply, it's just a matter that we do trust them regardless if it's a fiat casino or crypto casino, that's it. We are complying at these sites based on our own judgment.

No sites can be trusted, I only get verified if I have to, but if not necessary, I will prefer not to get verified. Once your documents is submitted on those sites, there is probability that they will give it to third parties or another organization. It can even be hacked, which some hackers may demand ransom payment for.

Apart from what OP mentioned I always look for payment options, payout speed, and Bonus offers. Payment option because I do need to know what is the minimum deposit amount and withdrawal. I also check if my favorite crypto is supported by the casino as of now most of them give multiple options. Payout speed plays an important factor as most reputable casinos provide instant withdrawal. Almost every casino nowadays provides incredible bonuses and offers what I check are the criteria to get those bonuses. Most reputable casinos would not create hard or easy criteria they would be moderate which is plus sign for me.

I agree with most except for the first one "license", it has nothing to do with the reputation of the casino. License is also not a guarantee of better thing because I think license can be acquired easily. There were even some licensed casinos that turned into scam eventually, I also do not really feel what is the advantage of choosing licensed casinos. As player, I will choose casinos that provides what I'm looking for based on my own preferences. I would still prefer to choose casinos that allow me to play without KYC as it does not worth for small gamblers like me to risk my personal documents into online gambling even though the casino has great reputation.

[Strongkored]

At present, the license is no longer the first consideration for players to be able to trust a casino, because it has been proven that it cannot prevent the casino from becoming a scam or doing things that can harm its users. Thankful for those who already know this forum and those who want to only play at crypto casinos because this forum is enough as a place to find out how reliable a casino is, because casino rating websites often use paid reviews so it's inaccurate but on this forum information will be very wide open about how casinos run the business. Whereas KYC is almost hard to avoid nowadays, as long as the casino doesn't apply a low limit for KYC obligations I think it's fine because the most unpleasant thing is just hundreds of dollars but the casino is so hard to process player withdrawals, so that it requires KYC.

RNG is a myth, that's true. 
RTP (return-to-player) is the only way to get back whatever we loss but when the RTP will click is where the randomness comes out. I've seen losing bets way go far as 50-100 streaks and the game will not give back anything until then, even those who play at medium risks. But it will still give back and sometimes it could go far as giving a little profit when luck is on your side.
I've tested 3000 automatic bets at the same amount and I saw a big red line graph but I left it for another hour and I've seen it come back to where it belongs, ROI.
Truly, we should always check a casino's reputation and that means all the paper works are right and legitimate. Let's not add another risk to our gambling hobby by being scammed by a fake one.

Licenses don't guarantee trustworthiness anymore, and it's frustrating when casinos manipulate reviews for their benefit. KYC can be a hassle, but I agree that it's necessary to ensure smoother withdrawals.

It's true what you say. What needs to be considered is finding a trusted casino to be calm in playing gambling and not encounter problems later. For the KYC problem we can't avoid it. After all, the casino applies it to find out who the members are and by doing KYC, the members can withdraw their money without problems because the casino has verified their account. In addition, members who have done KYC may get more benefits from the casino because sometimes casinos give prizes to those who verify their accounts.

Yes, it's true, even the Stake site often holds a giveaway on their Twitter for users who have verified KYC level 2 or above, maybe there are many other benefits that I don't know about on other sites, but still it all comes back to trusted sites because by playing on sites that are not trusted, it will be difficult to feel safe about the KYC that we have provided, that's why it's important to do research first

Not everyone is happy with giving their KYC but sometimes when playing honestly and everything is clean the casino won't ask us to complete KYC and even withdrawals can be made. So far what I've caught is when there are winners who are suspected by the system they will be asked to complete their KYC. to prevent fraud and money laundering, but even so you still have to prepare KYC so that at one time when the rules change then we won't have a problem with that KYC.

Actually licensing and regulation is also important to consider but it should be ensured that the casino is licensed by a reputable regulatory authority. It is also important to read all online reviews, and check the reputation of the casino in the online gambling community as this can give an idea of the reliability and trustworthiness of the casino and to ensure a positive experience.
indeed a license is not a guarantee, but what guarantees a good casino or not is the user. So it is very important to do thorough research before doing so so that it suits you.

Licenses and security are crucial, but so is a casino's internal enforcement of national laws. Having a license proves they're "legit," but honesty and service matter more. Crypto casinos add security. Crypto can be hacked like any other currency. Choose a reliable provider that prioritizes safety. Game talk! Variety makes life interesting. Look beyond the numbers. Learn who made such games and why. The best names in the industry promise a great gambling experience.

I usually just pick the one that is the most successful and just go with it. That has always been the case for me, there are two methods I have ever used, it's either about the best one out there right now, there are 5-6 good ones that we all know and love, and I use them, or if there is a signature campaign and there is a place that is paying, then I just ask for them to deposit to the account and gamble with their own money.

That way I feel like I am not losing anything, I do however lose because I could have withdrawn that and use that, but at least it wasn't money from my pocket, it was money not in my pocket yet. That makes me feel a bit better. These two systems has been pretty good for me so far and worked very well.

This is important to do background checking since you are going to spend your money on that site and its advisable to do this first before trusting any site, we know how risky this market is and in gambling its doubled. If you’re into gambling and still don’t know where to gamble, just look for the top sites and there you can easily get their details since they are already trusted by many, and reading reviews are ok but don’t fully depend on that.

There are actually plenty of casinos with good reviews but don't actually provide good services. They spend funds for review writers even if it's not trusted that's why we can't always rely on reviews. The security and license of a casino has a huge point in building a strong foundation of reputation. That means that they're exerting effort to build a solid trust rate for their site.
It's one of the important things that we have to consider nowadays because most scam casinos couldn't provide it. Lots of factors should be considered actually but knowing that a casino has license if a huge advantage.

Review site are being paid for doing that, and most of them are just stating a positive side of the side and they are not exposing the real situation and with that, we can't fully trust any review site. Choosing is hard though its good that we already have a lot of reputable site to choose from, I can only see problem here if you want to try a new site but if not, then you should have your good site now, having a license is good but then again, its no a guarantee that the site will be ok during their operation.

I understand your concerns about licenses and their effectiveness in today's gambling industry. While licenses were once a reliable indicator of a reputable casino, the current landscape has seen a shift where some licenses might be obtained too easily. This could potentially open doors for scam sites and fake casinos to deceive unsuspecting users, leading to financial losses.
To ensure a safe gambling experience, there are alternative ways to choose the right casino for you. Focus on casinos with strong reputations, positive user reviews, and third-party certifications like eCOGRA. Additionally, consider checking for responsible gambling policies, secure payment options, and transparent terms and conditions. By taking these extra precautions, you can safeguard yourself against potential risks and enjoy a more enjoyable and secure gaming experience.

They cannot pay all the people to write good reviews here they can do that on review sites but I doubt it on forums like Bitcointalk, many scammers are abusing their licenses they are still scamming their users, Licenses are just an attraction but the real foundation is their reputation.
Many posted that reputation is also important OP should include a good track record and reputation this is the first thing many are looking for in a gambling platform.

[Wakate]

Anyhow we choose to gamble, it is very important that we make use of casinos that have the varieties of game that we love to play or the kind of sport options that we care about. Using the wrong casinos that give us different experience from what we are looking can easily make us to make loses a daily basis as a gambling. If we use the casinos that have the kind of games that we are looking, we can easily make profits from the casino without.uvh stress of picking games and staking them. We need to check our gambling results to know whether we are in the right place for us to gamble and make money.

There are many online gambling opportunities but you shouldn't jump into investing without doing some research and some strategy. You can enjoy a safe experience while betting at licensed online casinos. These online casinos comply with strict regulatory requirements including implementing the latest security technology. Hence there should be a huge range of bonuses and promotions to enhance the gameplay. Bonus opportunities can include anything from welcome bonuses to bonuses, free spins and cashback bonuses. Loyalty programs and tournaments are definitely a big plus, all bonuses and promotions come with fair terms and conditions that are easy to fulfill.

There are several gambling sites that do this where the site management pays a certain number of people to give good reviews in order to attract more gamblers.
But for this forum we can see which members really give reviews transparently and who are only paid to post fake reviews.
After all, here each member has their own trust, so if a site has been given good reviews by quite a number of trusted members, then I can ensure that the site can be relied upon and clearly has a good reputation.

We cannot see the license and reputation at a glance, so it takes a little time to really find out thoroughly so that we are not deceived by shady casinos.

Look for a license

Most online casinos have licenses. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t look and make sure. Licensed online casinos are by far more capable of handling arising issues than unlicensed online casinos.

Casinos with licenses, for example a license in Costa Rica, means the casino can operate under the governing laws of that nation. It also means the online casino cannot break the nation’s laws.

I am glad to see Nitrogen Sports is still around and still a no KYC casino. I disagree that having a license makes a casino more capable. BetKing.io was a casino that was based in Costa Rica and their owner turned out to be a massive scammer. BitDice was originally based in Costa Rica and later Curacao and they ended up scamming also.

From what I understand Costa Rica doesn’t actually issue gaming licenses.

Is there a Costa Rica Gaming License?
No, there is not. While people refer to a Costa Rica gaming license, it doesn’t exist and there are no laws or regulations for online gambling in Costa Rica. Rather, operators need to incorporate a Costa Rica gaming company and make it clear that the object of the company is to provide online gambling services outside of Costa Rica. Online gambling is illegal within the country so operators need to refrain from catering to Costa Ricans.
Just to be clear, the Costa Rica gambling license does not exist and the operations of Costa Rica-based online gambling sites are not licensed, regulated, or supervised in any way. Even those in possession of the “Data processing license“, are still not regulated.
