Skipping the licence check
A licence logo in the footer proves nothing. Copy the licence number and search it on the regulator's own register; the company and domain should match. For players in India, remember that no foreign licence makes online money games legal at home.
Not reading the terms
The general terms set withdrawal caps, inactivity fees and when the casino can close an account. Our guide to terms and conditions lists the red flags.
Misreading the bonus
A ₹10,000 bonus at 35x requires ₹3,50,000 in bets; at 96% RTP that costs about ₹14,000 on average. The maximum bet and excluded games can void it. See sticky and non-sticky bonuses.
No bankroll plan
- Set a session budget and stake size before playing.
- Stop when the budget is gone.
- Never chase losses with bigger stakes.
Ignoring RTP and volatility
Many slots run in several RTP versions. Check the number in the info screen, and match volatility to your budget.
Skipping limits and support
Set deposit limits on day one and save the support chat before you need it. A new casino's response to a small question tells you how it will handle a payout problem. See customer support at new casinos.
