Writing this up mostly for anyone just getting into real money casinos, since I managed to make most of the mistakes going in so you do not have to.
First one: I chased the biggest welcome match I could find and ignored the wagering. Ended up locking a deposit for weeks trying to clear a 50x term on a bonus I never should have opted into. If you are not sure, skip the bonus entirely on your first deposit, you can always grab one later.
Second: deposit small and pull a withdrawal early, before you trust a site with a real bankroll. If the first cashout clears clean, then scale up. If it drags or they suddenly want five documents, at least you found out cheap.
If you want a shortcut past the trial and error, there is a ranked real money list on here that already sorts sites by payout and terms. Saved me a lot of guessing.
Anything you wish someone had told you before your first deposit?
