Testing waters would really be just that only good on the moment that you would really be trying out those new casinos on which you will really be having that testing out the waters first on depositing some small amount of money on which you could really be able to find out that everything is really that working well and not really that having those issues or you do look that it do operates well and fair.
Some people do really make out some direct huge deposits on the time or moment that they will really be trying out to deal with sites. Its not bad to test new sites yet those old sites
are once that new and by the test of time they had become that getting that trust by the community and able to become that credible.
I always try to make a small deposit to try a new casino. Usually, the casino also determines the minimum deposit limit to claim a new user bonus. Whether it's free spins or bonuses credited to our account.
I tried several casinos published on the forum, with a small deposit just to get the experience of playing by trying the casino. Sometimes to get a new user bonus. Some or more still allow me to make a withdrawal after a few rounds of play. And some have to do KYC.
We still have to make a small initial deposit to try a casino for the first time, including casinos that may be popular and recommended by friends. Sometimes the casino runs smoothly for our friends, but get problems with our accounts. Just to be safe.
For things that are new and the first time for us even though the casino is as long as it stands for a long time, depositing small money first is a good emergency, because we don't know how in the future because we are new users, things like this I always do to test security and Luck, and as you mentioned just to just get a bonus then play it, it might feel more comfortable.
So do not deposit great money to the casino that we just entered for fear of what we might not like the casino.
