How We Rate

Our Review Methodology at Bestdesigns

At Bestdesigns (bestdesigns.co.in), every casino and Aviator game platform we recommend goes through a rigorous, hands-on evaluation process. Our lead reviewer James Wilson personally tests each site before a single word of a review is written. This page explains exactly how we assess online casinos offering the Aviator game to Indian players, what criteria we use, and why you can trust our ratings to be honest, independent, and accurate as of 2026.

Who Conducts Our Reviews

James Wilson is the founder and primary reviewer at Bestdesigns. With years of experience evaluating online gambling platforms across the Indian market, James brings deep knowledge of what Indian players need from a casino — from UPI payment support to Hindi-language customer service. He does not accept payment from operators to influence ratings, and no casino is listed on this site without completing our full testing checklist.

James creates a real player account using his own funds, tests deposits and withdrawals, contacts customer support, plays the Aviator game directly, and documents every step. Only after completing this process does he assign a final score.

Our Step-by-Step Review Process

Step 1: Licensing Verification

Before anything else, we confirm that the casino holds a valid licence from a recognised regulatory authority. We cross-check licence numbers directly on the regulator's official website. Any platform that cannot prove legitimate licencing is immediately removed from consideration.

Step 2: Account Registration and Verification

James registers a genuine player account using standard Indian credentials. We evaluate how straightforward the sign-up process is, whether KYC verification is reasonable, and how quickly the account becomes fully active.

Step 3: Bonus and Promotion Testing

We claim available welcome bonuses and read every line of the terms and conditions. We pay close attention to wagering requirements, game restrictions, withdrawal caps, and expiry dates. If a bonus sounds generous but carries unfair terms, we reflect that in our score.

Step 4: Aviator Game and Game Library Testing

James plays the Aviator game directly, evaluating load speed, fairness indicators such as provably fair certification, betting range, and the auto cash-out feature. We also browse the broader game library to assess variety and software quality.

Step 5: Payment Methods Assessment

We attempt real deposits and withdrawals using methods popular in India, including UPI, Paytm, NetBanking, and cryptocurrencies where available. We record processing times, any fees charged, and the minimum and maximum transaction limits.

Step 6: Customer Support Testing

Our team contacts support via live chat, email, and any other available channel. We ask both simple and complex questions and record response times, accuracy of answers, and overall helpfulness. Support availability in Indian time zones is noted.

Step 7: Mobile Experience Evaluation

James accesses each platform on a mobile device to assess how the site performs without a dedicated app, and tests any Android or iOS applications available. We look at navigation, Aviator game playability, and load speeds on a standard Indian mobile connection.

How We Score: Our Rating Criteria and Weightings

Every casino we review receives a final score out of 10. This score is calculated by combining weighted scores across six key categories:

Rating Category	Weighting	What We Assess
Licensing and Safety	25%	Valid licence, SSL encryption, responsible gambling tools, fair play certification
Bonuses and Promotions	20%	Welcome offer value, wagering requirements, ongoing promotions, Aviator-specific deals
Game Selection	20%	Aviator game availability, software providers, overall library size and variety
Payment Methods	15%	Indian-friendly options, withdrawal speed, fees, transaction limits in INR
Customer Support	10%	Response time, knowledge, availability, language support for Indian users
Mobile Experience	10%	Mobile site quality, app availability, performance on Android and iOS devices

Understanding Our Rating Scale

• 9.0 – 10.0: Exceptional — among the very best Aviator platforms available to Indian players
• 7.0 – 8.9: Very Good — strong all-round performance with minor areas for improvement
• 5.0 – 6.9: Average — adequate but notable weaknesses exist in one or more categories
• 3.0 – 4.9: Below Average — significant issues that affect the player experience
• 1.0 – 2.9: Poor — not recommended due to serious concerns about safety or fairness

How Bestdesigns Stays Independent and Unbiased

Independence is the foundation of everything we do at Bestdesigns. Here is how we protect the integrity of our reviews:

• No paid placements: Operators cannot pay to improve their rating or ranking on our site. Revenue from affiliate partnerships never influences our written assessment.
• Affiliate disclosure: We clearly disclose when links are affiliate links. Commissions we earn fund the site but do not determine our scores.
• Separated commercial and editorial decisions: James Wilson's review scores are final and are not subject to approval by any commercial partner.
• Regular re-evaluation: Casinos are re-tested periodically. If a platform's quality drops, its rating is updated to reflect the current reality.
• Player feedback integration: We factor in credible user complaints and experiences reported by Indian players when updating our assessments.

Our Commitment to Indian Players in 2026

The online casino landscape in India continues to evolve rapidly, and Bestdesigns is committed to keeping our reviews current, honest, and genuinely useful. James Wilson and the Bestdesigns team exist to help Indian players find trustworthy platforms where they can enjoy the Aviator game safely and fairly.
