It's not right to jump into opportunities, especially opportunities that look so easy. When people fall for this type of fraud, I classify it as greed. No casino will want to lose to you, so trusting such is fraud. We all need to be careful and always ask questions before you go with those casinos looking too cheap. Don't be deceived by their seriousness and customer service or the fact that they have a signature in the forum because when it's time, they can disappear, so don't trust them, especially the new casino.
Well, reputation does make a difference, but one should make sure that if a platform is new, they are vigilant with it because you are right that only because a casino is currently running a signature campaign or some promotion in the forum they are totally trustworthy, because they might be new here and are only trying to build their brand name and reputation. Another thing that will mostly matter is the person managing their operations. For example, if they have hired a manager that has a very high reputation in the forum, such as Hhampuz as a manager, then you could have some trust on them because good managers mostly work with platforms that they know mean business, even though it's never guaranteed, just a metric we can include in our research.
When it comes to bonuses offered by casinos, it should be obvious for every gambler that the bonuses or promotions are not to make us win or give us an opportunity to make a lot of money, but they are marketing tactics used by their marketing teams to attract more gamblers towards their platform, because even if you are getting a very high bonus, you will not be able to make much from it because of the wagering requirements set by the casino which are usually around 30x or higher for big bonuses.
