1. Not checking the licence
Find the licence number in the footer and search for it on the regulator's register. Curaçao moved to a new licensing law at the end of 2024, and licences are now issued by the Curaçao Gaming Authority, which keeps a public register. If the number is missing or the domain does not match the register entry, walk away.
2. Skipping the terms
Withdrawal limits, fees, inactivity charges and restricted countries all sit in the terms. Read at least the withdrawal and bonus sections. Our guide to casino terms lists the red flags.
3. Claiming a bonus without doing the maths
A K 2,000 bonus at 40x wagering means K 80,000 of bets. On a 96% RTP slot that costs about K 3,200 on average, more than the bonus is worth. Work it out on our bonus page first.
4. Stakes too big for the budget
With K 1,000 for the session, K 50 spins give you about twenty rounds. Keep stakes at 1 to 2% of the session budget.
5. Ignoring RTP and volatility
The same slot can run at different RTP versions at different casinos, and high-volatility games can go hundreds of spins without a big win. Check the info screen.
6. Uploading ID only when you win
Verification at the first withdrawal is normal. Upload your NRC or passport and proof of address at registration so a win is not held for days.
7. Not using support or limits
Ask support a simple question before you deposit and note how long the reply takes. Set a deposit limit on day one; our control tips explain how.
