The ID check comes later, not sooner
Most sites let you pay in in a minute and want proof of identity at the initial withdrawal. Uploading them beforehand costs little and takes away the wait at the only moment it is felt.
Weighing a casino site: what counts
smart-mama.me keeps it clear: no league tables bought by the site being ranked, and no promises about the payout. All a visitor should check ahead of signing up.
Most of what decides sits in the rules, and most of it arrives unannounced. What ID checks are run, which games count toward the bonus and how long the bonus stays live are the lines a visitor feels too late, so they are the lines to review first.
Take it as entertainment, not income. Once it stops being either, stop. 18+. Rules differ where you are.

Ask something minor early and time the reply. A vague answer to an easy one is already clear about the hard ones.
The licence, and its reach
A licence tells you who to write to when something goes wrong, and this is most of its worth to a visitor. Ask which one, and if it reaches your market — a licence elsewhere helps very little.
