We are even seeing which are popular but still unlicensed and its true that people would care as long it does pay and fair then that what matter most.
I agree the main concern of some gamblers are, the casino is actually paying and fair plus kyc is not required regardless if the casino has a license or not. Experience of other gamblers who already play on that particular casino has an important role as well to get idea if it can be trusted.
It isnt a solid indication imho but cant really avoid that it is one of the indications that you are dealing on the right place.
Thats true, license is one indication that you're in the right casino however we know its not only the basis.
