    What's the FIRST thing you look for in choosing a new casino?

    So you've had enough of your current casinos and you start to look for somewhere new to play...
    What's the FIRST thing you look for in choosing a new casino?

    For me it's mainly about the bonuses, but I'd like to know what turns other players on!

    Thanks in advance!

    I first check to see the gaming software type. Next I check if they have any sister casinos and what group they are a part of. If it's a reputable group, I then check to see if that particular casino has had any complaints or issues with payouts.

    If the software is one I like to play and there are no extreme complaints to be found in cyberspace, then I find out about the welcome bonus and terms and make sure the bonus is credited instantly and my deposit method is available. Then it's game on !

    Before joining a new casino I now make sure to first check the VIP scheme which they have on offer and then check to ensure they are not rogued on CM.

    Another interesting poll, KK!

    I think software is the first thing I'd look at. Then reputation.

    I voted bonuses, but it's ALSO about the reputation. If I was just looking for the best bonuses, I'd go with something like Coolcat lol, although we all know how that would end!

    I mainly look for a cashable low WR bonus at 100% or above when trying somewhere new, but even then I really dislike WR's full stop.

    Thats why I joined All Slots when I was looking for a new MG casino - gotta love the Clear Play bonus. I joined another one in the group but couldnt take the 100% bonus, but do however get 10% back on all deposits which is just as good, I guess

    For reputation, I always read here first.

    I'm interested in trying new games and software, so something I don't already have piques my interest.

    I google xxxCasino complaints, and of course I check here at CM.

    That a casino has a rep here on this board is very important to me, even if they are not accredited.

    I always seek out the reputable casinos before anything else as otherwise it would be a lottery of woe. When you have tasted the crush of dissapointment in rogue land we quickly learn to not make the same mistake again and eventually find sanctuary.

    Before I found casinomeister I used to think the type of software a casino used was a good indicator towards safe gambling and it wasn't. It turns out to be the reputation of the operator of a casino that defines wether it is trustworthy or not.

    I think at the back of my mind and maybe everyones elses mind when they are looking for a casino is, will they pay me if I win? What if I win big will they pay all of the winnings? So for me it's always reputation first and foremost.

    I'd check all the above, but usually a good bonus gets my attention.. Next step is Google "Casino name"+"Casinomeister" to see what reasonable people has to say about it.
