- KYC

- SSL encryption

FAQ
Common questions about casino site reviews.
How can I check if an online casino is licensed?
A legitimate casino displays its licence number and regulator in the site footer. Verify that number directly on the regulator's official website rather than trusting a logo, since fake seals are common. Also confirm that the licence covers your country, because legality depends on where you live.
What does RTP mean?
RTP, or return to player, is the percentage of all money wagered on a game that is paid back to players over a very large number of rounds. An RTP of 96% means a house edge of about 4% in the long run. It does not predict the result of any single session.
What are wagering requirements?
Wagering requirements state how many times a bonus, or bonus plus deposit, must be bet before winnings can be withdrawn. For example, a €10 bonus with 35x wagering means €350 in total bets. High multipliers, short deadlines and game restrictions make the conditions much harder to meet.
Why do casinos require KYC verification before a withdrawal?
Licensed operators are legally required to verify identity, age and address to prevent money laundering, fraud and underage gambling. You typically upload an ID document and proof of address, sometimes also proof of your payment method. Completing verification early usually avoids delays when requesting a payout.
What are the red flags of an unsafe casino site?
Warning signs include a missing or unverifiable licence, unclear terms, delayed or refused withdrawals, no responsible gambling tools and poor customer support. Unrealistic bonus offers and pressure tactics are also suspicious. Checking regulator lists and independent complaint records helps you avoid problems.
