A checklist definitely saves some headaches. I usually start with the games because there’s not much point in having a fancy bonus if the selection feels boring after ten minutes. Then I check deposits and withdrawals, especially whether familiar options are available and how long payouts normally take. Mobile compatibility matters too, since nobody wants a site that behaves like it was built in 2007. One useful comparison resource I came across was
www.casinainfo.se where things such as games, bonuses, payment options and usability are covered. I’d still read the actual terms before depositing, though. Small detail, big difference.
