The majority already said it and I have to agree, a casino license shouldn't be one of the top things to look out for because a casino license doesn't mean gamblers are safe from most issues. We shouldn't prioritize these licenses when other unlicensed casinos can provide the same quality as most of these licensed casinos.

That depends I think, in an online casino, it's not really a priority to consider but if it's a casino that has facilities, license is an assurance ttthat you won't be part of an illegal gambling ring and it helps to gamble better if you know that the casino won't be raided in a sting operation to shut down illegal gambling and racketeering.

The 5th on that list should be the first priority imo, if the casino treats you like a king when you play in their casino, I would probably not mind wasting my money or time. But in the end, it's a matter of preference you might place my 1st consideration in a different tier which is a good thing, the casinos will try to go above and beyond to cater these priorities which is a win for us, the players.

I disagree that having a license makes a casino more capable.

A license is needed to operate a business, and it is an important document that every business person has for their business. The license issuing process can be hijacked and bought with money in some cases, that is why you should never just trust that a business has operational license. Licenses can be obtained with enough money. I like to read extensive reviews about casinos before deciding if a choice is good for me. Reading reviews is a way of knowing the opinion of people who have gambled there before you based on their experience. Real reviews, not fake ones.

The thing is, it has become very difficult to find honest and unbiased reviews these days, even the review websites tend to have fake and biased reviews which will only mislead you and you can't really know if a platform or a service is legit or a scam. Most of the review articles posted on different websites are mainly biased because the writers and publishers are paid to do that, so you can't even believe those written articles and make a decision based on them.

Similarly, you are right that a platform or a casino should have a license to operate their business without making their players doubt their integrity, but again, it is not really easy to verify if a casino actually has a license or just faking it, that's why it's better to simply use old and trusted platforms.

Out of the five things, the fourth (deposit options) is probably the most important for most gamblers because transaction fees can be a problem when crypto casinos can set the fees they want and others are possibly profiting from it.

We do all have our own preferences when choosing a gambling site. Some would say a licensed one, others would go for platforms offering huge bonuses and rewards, some are not into ones with KYC, and/or the games being offered. But what would make me stay in a gambling platform is the service I am getting. Any gambling site could give the same offer to their players but not all platforms could give their players a good service quality perhaps with overall maintenance of the site or how fast transactions are being done both with deposit and withdrawal of funds. You could move from one another but for sire only a few would make you stay for awhile.

But at least what the OP shared here is one of the preferred options for finding a trusted casino site.
KYC is still avoided by some gamblers, but it seems that in the future KYC will be implemented by all existing gambling sites.
Regarding service, gamblers should prioritize good service when they want to use gambling sites so they can play comfortably and happily, after all, service is the most important point that must be prioritized by every casino team to be able to provide satisfaction to all customers.

It's just that not all gambling sites provide good service because there are also many new or small gambling sites that don't provide friendly or satisfying service.

This is an OP with a context of the type "what type of love relationship do you have"; so among one of the options is the answer: it is complicated.

As its context is, several truths and others not so much, for example, not all crypto casinos are safe or do not have KYC.

On the other hand, it is not necessary to mythologize Fiat casinos as "devils" of KYC, you also get traditional casinos that only ask for what is really necessary.

Ultimately regardless of fiat or crypto, reputation is important, but even that could fail, so only deposit money that you can afford to lose.

I didn't find reputation and trust in your thread among the things to be considered when choosing an online casino, maybe they are there if we click that little link but I didn't do that because I didn't feel like it, but anyway, I believe reputation and trust are two of the most essential things one should look for when joining a casino platform, if a platform doesn't have these two things, all other things are basically useless because the community simply doesn't like that platform and there must be some reason for that.

One more thing is the amount of time the platform has been around. So, when you are looking to join a casino, you should see how old it is and based on that, how much trust and reputation it has managed to gain over that period, and if that ratio is good, you are good to join it, otherwise, keep looking.

Online casino players should consider your answers. I agree that trust and reputation are crucial. They require fairness, honesty, and lawfulness. Not just pretty. However, client service is crucial. If users don't obtain fast and accurate replies, even the best platform can fail. Doing this builds trust. I wouldn't always believe a site's age. New systems may offer improved security, a simpler UI, or more fun games. Age and image may be a good clue, but don't stop there. Big companies started small

Should you desire to wholeheartedly contribute to the forum, it is imperative that you present your thoughts within this thread in a comprehensive manner, refraining from diverting readers to external links. I am disinclined to peruse disjointed discussions, for it gives the impression that you exploit forum users to visit your personal website for self-gain.

Regarding the topic at hand, the criteria deemed significant in assessing a casino, subjectively speaking, in my opinion, are as follows:

- Reputation
- Transaction swiftness
- Captivating user interface (UI)
- A substantial user base

Though there may be other aspects worth mentioning, I believe these four points serve as my fundamental benchmarks in determining my affinity towards a casino platform.

Yes I agree, license is one of the thing that I am looking for a casino since in case something bad can happen they we can see their license or maybe someone from their country can sue them . That's the thing I like with license you can sue them because they are under the government and we have a power, but always check the t&c first before creating an account in there.

Reputation and trust in the platform should be the first consideration for anyone choosing their online casino. I can't imagine anything more important than that. I noticed that the OP put "5 Things to Consider" in the title but only listed three in the post. It's possible that reputation is one of the missing items, but as you said, I don't want to click on dubious links, especially when they look like hidden behind shortened URLs. Sorry Op.

Yes, I agree. The maturity of the platform is important too. Nowadays, it seems like almost anyone can start their own online casino with a small investment. But, platform that's been around for a while and has some experience under its belt is a safer bet. It shows they've been in the game and have likely worked out the kinks. That means they're probably more reliable and stable. Of course, that doesn't mean all new casinos are sketchy, but it's smart to check out a platform's track record and experience before taking the plunge. Better safe than sorry, right?

I would agree with most of the points in your read except for one: Licenses. While in the past they certainly held some value as licenses require rigorous registration and authorization processes before you could even get signed with a reputable gambling license provider like Curacao, nowadays they're cash grabs that do not hold up to what they stand for anymore cause most of them aren't even that hard to work with. You could literally just pay your way into a license and then voila, you're now a "reputable" casino. In my opinion this is bad as it could be abused by scam sites and fake casinos to make their unwitting users think that they are trustworthy, and then from there consider your money stolen.

There are better ways to choose the right casino for you, as it stands today however, looking for a licensed one may seem like a hit-or-miss idea really.

This is very true nowadays. There had been casinos that are not getting clients despite having a license because it's easy to just acquire a license by just paying for it. I doubt the casino owner even visited an office to get one.

Curacao license for example was the easiest to claim. Most of the new casinos that are launched in 2017 have this license. They seem to be a one-hit wonder and then go on scamming the next year. Users that were scammed can't even file a lawsuit.

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.

Consider security

Security is the most important aspect of any online casino. The most secure online casinos currently in existence are those that are bitcoin casino or other crypto casinos.

When we say security, we mean your information and your money. Non-crypto casinos require all your information, sometimes even the last four of your social security number, before you can open an account and start betting.

Crypto and bitcoin casinos require an email. That’s it. Also, every deposit and withdrawl is via a specific code. So the chances of your transactions being hijacked is close to zero.

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.

Nowadays, bitcoin and crypto casinos offer as many games as traditional online casinos. The difference is that BTC casinos and crypto casinos are truly fair. Some online casinos say they use an RNG, but they don’t always.

1. Having a license doesn't mean that the casino is going to handle issues well. There are caisnos with license but they can't even handle simple issues well. But yeah, having a license does mean that the casino owners aren't "anonymous " and they can't run away with users funds.

2. Yeah security is very important and that's very obvious. But I think you are talking about privacy here, not casino security. But yeah both is very important. Not sure what you mean by transactions getting hijacked. As long as you deposit to your address you should be fine.

3. I would say to look at the quality rather than the quantity. And look at the RTP and house edge when choosing a game. Would you play one game with high RTP and low house edge or play many games with low RTP/high house edge?

License is what's being asked from the new casinos. But that doesn't mean those that have licenses are already good enough. Going with the license ones, many reputable casinos or should I say that majority if not all of them have one.

While the starting ones, they're settling it aside and will just work on it if they click with the business. Typically, they only apply on it when they're being asked to provide one or if they're already making a demand and userbase.

So, to each their own as for choosing a casino. Many today are reputable and have been making it to the mainstream and partnering with clubs that only shows how serious they are with the business.

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.

Quote from: https://fastoffshore.com/what-we-do/packaged-services/costa-rica-gaming-license/

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.

You are right. It is not all online casino that needs to be licensed before they can have good reputation. Countries that gambling is illegal or that doesn't need KYC for registration might not be licensed but they are still rendering good services with trust. A country were gambling is legalized, government will regulate gambling and that is the reason why any casino that wants to operate will need to get a license from the government so that they can operate and abide to the government policy,that is why such casino will ask for KYC.

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.

If users want to get a giveaway from Stake, it's better for them to immediately verify KYC level 2 so they can get the giveaway. But many still haven't done it because they don't chase the giveaway and just want to spend their time playing gambling. And if other users also want to catch giveaways from other casinos, they need to find a trusted and reputable casino to be calm about doing KYC.

But not everyone indeed likes doing KYC for various reasons. And one of the reasons is that they only gamble in their spare time and don't chase after winning, so casinos also need to understand that not everyone who gambles in their place is just after winning.

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.

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.

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.

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.
