How We Rate Casinos
At Aviator Game Reviews, we evaluate online casinos using a comprehensive methodology to help players in India find safe, fair, and enjoyable gaming platforms. Our ratings are based on extensive research and player feedback. Below is how we assess each casino.

8. Our Rating Scale
We use a 1-10 scoring system to evaluate casinos:
- 9-10 (Excellent) - Top-tier casinos with exceptional licensing, games, support, and player protection
- 7-8 (Very Good) - Strong casinos with solid credentials, good game selection, and reliable service
- 5-6 (Good) - Acceptable casinos meeting most requirements but with minor areas for improvement
- 3-4 (Fair) - Casinos with concerns regarding licensing, terms, or service quality
- 1-2 (Poor) - Casinos with serious issues including lack of proper licensing or player protection
Final Rating Calculation: Each criterion is weighted according to its importance to player safety and experience. Licensing & Regulation carries the highest weight, followed by Game Selection, Bonus Terms, and Payment Methods. A casino's final score reflects the overall quality across all categories, with critical failures in licensing or security resulting in ratings below 5.
