Adela is CasinoAlpha’s champion for ethical gambling and player empowerment. Her mission is to look beyond the flashy banners and judge casinos based on how they truly treat their players, especially under pressure. In her view: “If a casino makes it easy to deposit but hard to cash out, they aren’t player-friendly, they’re profit-hungry. I’m here to call that out.”

Trada Casino Review | January
 2026
Trada Casino Review | January 2026

We analysed and tested Trada Casino following an extensive review process, developed in the +9 years of experience we have in the industry. We rated this casino as average due to some payment limits and lacking VIP program. The limits on withdrawals and deposits are not as flexible as those found in other casinos, making managing funds more difficult. The benefits of the VIP system are decent, but they are not significant enough to create a better gaming experience. All of these factors contribute to a less than ideal rating. You can read our full review to see all the details and check for yourself whether Trada Casino is a good option for you. Use the designated box and write your own user review.
