Licensing is the single most important indicator of a safe online casino for Annapolis players. A valid licence means the operator is subject to independent RNG auditing, required to hold player funds in segregated accounts, mandated to offer responsible gambling tools, and accountable to a formal dispute resolution process. No licence means none of these protections apply.

|---|---|---|---|
