For myself, it's always the variety of tournaments on offer plus the effective value for money for both entry and prize money.
Bonuses to be honest have disappeared for a few years now to any real valued extent and its geared towards to heavy payer/player (even then its not great).
I leap to play when I see good value at sensible times of play, the days of when I would cash game late to get the action are long gone.

1. I do not deposit money if the withdrawal policy has many conditions, especially for large amounts when the conditions imposed are often with question marks, and the withdrawal time until the money reaches your account is more than 24 hours.
2. If the reviews of other players are good.
3. If the number of players playing online at that time is displayed.
4. If in the lobby the site displays freerolls with attractive prizes.
5. If the site posts satellite tournaments that reach the final tournament in as few steps as possible.

The site must be fully trustworthy.

Meaning:

Accessible and knowledgeable support staff that speaks English.
No-nonsense TOS.
Having gaming license inside EU.
Being able to move money back and forth without any issues (like in Party).
Attractive game selection.
Strict actions against bots, collusion, and other ways of cheating, and giving me no reason to doubt site's actions.

Being able to cater my needs.

Such site does not exist.

I have in the past. Their online forum felt quite off-putting. I haven't been there is ages.
Their community is the worst part of their site, agreed there.

The site itself is fantastic! There are no bots, always automated instant withdrawals, interactive features and last but not least there are no complex rules in their terms of service. It's fun for ages 18-95, join us!

The site must be trustworthy , a good reputation is the most important factor for me in order to deposit on a poker casino site .

Good reputation for successfull withdrawals .
Stories about a site where sb deposited and they deny withdrawal request with excuses like wagering a crazy amount of money or paying them 30-50% rake for freeroll money , small letters in their tos that have traps , all these are red flags not to deposit there .

It must be in the business for some time , have some good reviews from respectfully poker or casino sites . It must have many games available . I have to believe that I might be able to win there . So stories from reviews that rng is rigged a lot or that you struggle to win on slots or to get itm on a poker game or stories for house bots and fake players , these stories prevent me from depositing in a site

I deposit the least minimum amount of money always in a new site , untill I see if it worths playing there .
. I would never deposit $600 orr $2000 in an unknown site . It's crazy to me that almost all sites give first deposit bonus only for the first deposit , the best bonus is for the first deposit . How can sb deposit hundreds of dollars in a first deposit if he hasn't tested ot first with a very small deposit . This is a demand even in the most well known sites . At least in poker sites you can test a little their poker ecosystem with freerolls . In casino sites you can play for play .money slots or games to test them , but with play money the games have a fake rtp rate 1000% or more in comparison to the real one . . With play money I always win on casino sites , with real money o always lose , the rtp then is not 1.000% or the theoretical 95% but 0 % )))) .

These three are important to me --->

Reputation and trustworthiness of the site.
Payment method availability or ease of deposit.
Game variety or tournament selection.

I generally only deposit money onto sites because it is required to make a deposit before making a withdraw.
But what got me to play on the sites initially, which later lead to the deposit, were:
CardsChat had their games on the site
A friend recommended the site
Streamers offer free games on the site
Confidence that I would be able to withdraw my winnings
They had a good variety of games
Quality playing software

One time I did deposit because they offered a nice bonus for making the deposit

For me, reputation is the most important factor. I would say it is decisive. I would never make a deposit on sites with a bad reputation. The second important factor for me is the availability of convenient methods for making deposits and withdrawing funds. And, of course, freerolls, especially our CardsChat freerolls. A site that has our freerolls definitely deserves my deposit :)

For me, an important factor for registration and deposit is how legally this site works in my country.
I would really like to choose by rating and number of players, but since the site is prohibited, using a vpn at your own risk is not a very good idea, so I am very limited in choosing online platforms for playing poker.
Regardless of the law, I would choose a poker room with the largest online players and how many years the site has been on the online entertainment market.
From your list, I choose:
1) Exclusive events (for example, CardsChat freerolls!)
2) Reputation and reliability of the site.
3) Availability of payment methods or convenience of making a deposit.
4) Recommendations from friends or the community.
