Been asked this enough that I'll just write it out. Since everything available to us here is offshore and there's zero local recourse, the only protection you have is reading the operator correctly before you deposit.
Things that have saved me money over the years. A real, clickable licence that actually resolves to a regulator page, not a static image. Clear withdrawal terms you can find without emailing support. And payout times people can vouch for, not the marketing claim.
The tells that make me walk. Wagering requirements buried three pages deep. Support that only answers pre sale questions and goes quiet after. AED quoted everywhere but the terms admit settlement is in USD with a fee they don't state up front.
What's the single biggest red flag that's burned you or nearly burned you? Keep your gambling money to what you'd genuinely shrug off losing, offshore there's no one to call.
