Read their Faq.

I like to learn about the site that I am playing at. I read all of the available information about the company itself and who owns it. I also read their policies. I figure that it might come in handy if I ever run into a problem getting paid. We of course have people here who can help if you do run into that sort of thing so always remember to ask for help if you need it.

It's always a good idea to do a bit of research, especially when dealing with a site that isn't listed here in the forum. We know those sites are trusted, but with any others, you may need to do a bit of reading to protect yourself.
