The sections that matter
| Section | What to look for |
|---|---|
| Account | One account per person and household, verification rules, closure rights |
| Deposits and withdrawals | Limits per week or month, fees, processing times, same-method rule |
| Bonuses | Wagering, max bet, game weighting, expiry, win caps |
| Fair play | Which testing lab certifies the games, what counts as abuse |
| Dormancy | Fees on inactive accounts and when they start |
| Responsible gaming | Limits, time-outs and self-exclusion on offer |
How to read them quickly
- Open the terms in a desktop browser and use Ctrl+F (Cmd+F on a Mac).
- Search for "maximum", "limit", "fee", "inactive" and "void".
- Read the withdrawal section in full.
- Save a PDF or screenshot with the date, in case the terms change.
Red flags
- Withdrawal limits so low that a big win takes years to pay out.
- A right to void winnings for vague reasons such as "irregular play".
- Fees on withdrawals or inactive accounts not shown at the cashier.
- Terms that can change without notice to players.
- No named licence holder or regulator anywhere in the document.
Why the licence matters here
The regulator behind the licence sets the minimum rules a casino's terms must follow, and handles complaints when a casino breaks its own terms. Look for the regulator named in the terms and check the casino on its register.
