2. See geolocation and verification. Legal applications are allowed only within the licensor state and will be requested by KYC.

3. Check the terms of bonuses. Regulators strictly with transparency promo; details - on operators' websites/in state rules.

4. Responsible play. Use deposit/time limits and, if necessary, a state self-exclusion list (regulators have links).
