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.

Welcome offer
What €2,500 + 300 Free Spins is worth
A headline this large is almost certainly spread over several deposits, and most players only ever claim the first part, so the worksheet starts at €200. The wagering is not in the offer we list, so set it from Winshark's bonus terms.
Winshark Casino offer worksheet
WorksheetSet the bonus part you would claim. The default is a first-deposit example, not the casino's terms.
You must bet €7,000 before the bonus turns into cash. At 96.0% RTP that costs €280 on average, so the bonus is worth about -€80.
Average over many players · terms vary by casino| Bonus claimed | Wagering | To wager | Expected cost at 96% | Value |

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.
