Short answer
Should you try FatPirate?
FatPirate offers a large library and flexible deposits, but its licence is the weak point: Costa Rica does not license online gambling, so there is no gaming regulator behind it. Combined with no withdrawal methods on file, start with a small deposit and test a withdrawal before you play with the bonus.

Licence on the regulator's register
A logo in the footer proves nothing. The licence number and company name must appear on the regulator's own register, with the same domain.
Copy the licence number from the casino's footer and search it on the regulator's public register. Some regulators publish no searchable register; then ask support for the certificate.

Responsible gaming
Play only if you are 18+ and it stays fun
These rules apply on every page of this site. A casino in its first year has less history to judge it by, so the limits matter more.
Adults only, everywhere
You must be 18 or older, and older in some countries. A casino can ask for ID before your first withdrawal, and new casinos often do.
Responsible gamingStart small with an unknown casino
Deposit an amount you would accept losing to a failed withdrawal, and request a small cash-out early to see how the casino handles it.
How we review new casinosSet limits before the welcome offer
Bonus wagering keeps you playing longer. Set a deposit limit and a time limit in the account before you claim.
