The pitfalls you need to avoid if you are looking for a new online casino

Published

on

Some online bettors always choose new online casinos because they want to avail themselves of different perks. Even though there are some exceptions, most casinos provide welcome bonuses and other perks to new clients. In fact, the iGaming industry is on the rise because of all newly established online casinos that welcome customers from all over the world. They have a license that allows them to operate in many jurisdictions and are often more innovative than some old-school brands.

Unfortunately, picking a new online casino has its risks, especially if you are looking for something specific, such as a cryptocurrency gambling site. Even though some of the new brands don’t have any problems, you may come across iGaming sites with loads of issues. That’s why we will point out some of the most common ones.

Some sites advertise the fact that they have licenses, but they don’t

Applying for a gambling license is not easy, regardless of which country the operator chooses. It usually requires the iGaming company to provide tons of documents and pay substantial fees. Hence, the process often takes weeks, if not months.

Since some online casinos don’t want to wait that long, they start operating while waiting for their license approval. Sadly, many of them don’t state that in their footer, which means that people think they’re using a licensed gambling site.

Although most of these sites do eventually obtain a valid permit, others have to provide additional information to receive a license. This is where users can run into problems because they won’t be able to get help from the gambling commission if there are problems with the given betting site.

The welcome bonuses

Before we share more information about the problems with the welcome promotions, it is essential to know that not every online casino offers proposals whose goal is to steal your money. In fact, the newly registered online casinos available on some platforms will let you choose from a wide range of options that provide unique rewards.

Sadly, some of the new iGaming companies have bonuses that seem too good to be true. Since welcome offers attract loads of clients, these companies offer a massive maximum bonus amount that can often reach $5000 or more.

Needless to say, inexperienced casino players are lured by these promotions and decide to make a deposit, thinking that they will have access to all of the bonus funds. We hate to break it to you, but this never happens.

Usually, these rewards require a substantial deposit because they offer a 100% bonus. Even if you are willing to add a lot of money to your account, a look at the betting conditions will show that they are not that fair and will require you to wager that amount at least 50 times (some casinos have an even higher wagering requirement). Unsurprisingly, many people fail to adhere to these rules and lose their money.

Mobile app problems

Every new online casino knows that it needs to provide a mobile app for Android and iOS or at least an optimized mobile site if it wants to gain new users. Since creating an app is more expensive, most brands only have an optimized mobile site.

With that being said, online casino players in some countries may also have access to apps for their favorite OS. Some companies optimize everything and allow the apps to be used for free, but there are many exceptions. Besides stumbling upon tons of app-related problems, you may have to pay a small fee to download the app. There are even cases where gamblers may need to pay a small subscription fee to use a given application.

ThrillTech has been awarded a Gaming-Related Supplier licence by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), clearing the company to launch in Ontario’s regulated market.

The licence allows ThrillTech to deploy its opt-in side bet jackpots technology with regulated online casino, sports betting and lottery operators across the province.

Benjamin Bradtke, Co-Founder of ThrillTech, said: “Securing our AGCO licence is a major step in our mission to transform how jackpots are delivered at scale across regulated markets. This latest certification is testament to our robust technology and trusted compliance frameworks, allowing us to continue our global growth trajectory. We are thrilled to bring our proven, compliant jackpot technology to Ontario, empowering locally licensed operators to uplift revenue without cannibalising existing spend.”

The company said its “ThrillPots” mechanics sit as an independent, player-funded side bet and do not alter the underlying game’s return-to-player mathematics.

ThrillTech said the Ontario approval enables its existing multinational partners that also operate in the province to launch its side bet jackpots locally, while it also holds talks with potential new operator partners. The company lists its regulated footprint as including the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands, Romania, Malta, Gibraltar, Brazil and Peru.

The company said its ThrillPots product lets operators add player-funded, opt-in side-bet jackpots on top of existing games, without changing gameplay or the underlying return-to-player (RTP) calculations. ThrillTech positions the mechanic as a way to drive incremental engagement and revenue.

ThrillTech said the Ontario licence enables existing multinational partners that also operate in the province to roll out ThrillTech-powered jackpots locally, and added it is in discussions with potential new operator partners. The company listed other regulated jurisdictions it serves as the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands, Romania, Malta, Gibraltar, Brazil, and Peru.

Casino games aggregator and full-service technology provider St8 has secured its registration to operate in Alberta as an iGaming Services Supplier, marking another significant milestone in the company’s strategy to expand across North America’s regulated iGaming markets.

St8 was among the first suppliers to secure a conditional approval granted by the AGLC, underlining the company’s readiness to support operators as the province prepares to open its regulated iGaming market.

Alberta represents a key market in St8’s North American growth strategy and follows the company’s expansion into Ontario earlier this year. With its latest approval, St8 is now regulated in some of the industry’s most sought-after jurisdictions, including Sweden, the UK, Romania, and Ontario, among others.

The Alberta approval enables St8 to provide its next-generation game aggregation services to licensed operators in Alberta, giving partners access to more than 200 premium game providers through a single API integration, alongside bonus and promotional tools, advanced reporting, compliance capabilities, and a suite of operational features designed to simplify casino management.

Purpose-built with modern infrastructure and regulatory flexibility at its core, the St8 software enables operators to launch premium casino content quickly, while also reducing the operational complexity typically associated with multi-provider integrations and expansion into new markets.

This registration builds on St8’s growing presence in regulated jurisdictions and reinforces the company’s commitment to supporting operators with scalable, compliant technology as new opportunities emerge across North America and beyond.

With compliance, speed and operational efficiency at the heart of its product, St8 remains focused on helping operators enter new markets with confidence while delivering seamless access to premium casino content through a single integration.

Eva Alšauskaite, Head of Legal at St8, said: “Securing our Alberta supplier registration represents another important step in St8’s international growth strategy and reflects our continued investment in regulated markets.

“As jurisdictions continue to evolve, operators need technology partners that combine innovation with a deep understanding of regulatory requirements. Obtaining this registration demonstrates our commitment to meeting those standards while providing operators with a solution that makes expansion into regulated markets as simple and efficient as possible.”
