How We Rate

Our Review Methodology at Erebsindia

At Erebsindia (erebsindia.com), every review you read is the result of a thorough, hands-on evaluation process carried out by our lead reviewer, James Wilson. Our mission is simple: to give Indian players an honest, accurate, and independent assessment of every Aviator game platform available in 2026. We do not accept payment from operators in exchange for positive ratings, and we never publish a review without real, personal testing first.

This page explains exactly how we evaluate each site, what criteria we measure, how much weight each factor carries, and how we arrive at our final scores. Transparency is the foundation of everything we do.

Step-by-Step Review Process

Step 1: Initial Research and Verification

Before James Wilson deposits a single rupee, he conducts background research on the operator. This includes verifying the licensing authority, checking the platform's registration history, reviewing terms and conditions in full, and cross-referencing the operator against known blacklists and player complaint databases active in the Indian market.

Step 2: Account Registration and KYC Testing

James personally creates a real player account using standard Indian identification documents. He tests the sign-up flow, measures how long verification takes, and records any friction points that real players in India are likely to encounter. This step ensures our reviews reflect an authentic first-time user experience.

Step 3: Depositing Real Money

Every platform reviewed on Erebsindia is tested with a genuine deposit using payment methods popular in India, including UPI, Paytm, and net banking. James tracks processing times, deposit limits, and whether any unexpected fees are applied. No site receives a full review based on demo access alone.

Step 4: Playing the Aviator Game

James plays the Aviator game directly on each platform, evaluating load speed, interface quality, fairness indicators, and the consistency of the provably fair mechanism. He tests the game on both desktop and mobile devices to capture the complete player experience.

Step 5: Bonus Claiming and Wagering

Where applicable, James activates available welcome bonuses and promotional offers to verify that the advertised terms match reality. He checks wagering requirements, game restrictions, withdrawal conditions, and expiry periods to ensure players are not misled by promotional marketing.

Step 6: Withdrawal Testing

A withdrawal request is submitted to confirm that cashout processes work as described. James records how long the process takes, what documentation is requested, and whether any unexpected deductions occur.

Step 7: Customer Support Evaluation

Support channels including live chat, email, and any available phone support are contacted during this stage. James evaluates response times, the quality of answers provided, and whether agents demonstrate genuine knowledge of the platform.

Step 8: Scoring and Final Review

After completing all testing stages, James assigns scores across six weighted categories and calculates an overall rating. The final review is written entirely based on his personal findings.

Understanding Our Rating Scale

All platforms reviewed on Erebsindia are scored on a 1 to 10 scale. Here is what each range means:

How Erebsindia Stays Independent and Unbiased

Independence is non-negotiable at Erebsindia. James Wilson operates this website as an editorially independent platform. Our reviews are never influenced by affiliate commissions, sponsorship arrangements, or operator relationships. While Erebsindia may earn referral fees when users click through to partner sites, these commercial arrangements have zero influence on scores or editorial content.

Negative findings are always published. If a platform fails during testing — whether through delayed withdrawals, misleading bonus terms, or poor licensing standards — that information appears in the final review regardless of any existing or potential commercial relationship with that operator.

Our scores are reviewed periodically. When an operator makes significant changes to its platform, James re-tests relevant categories and updates the score to reflect the current player experience. Review dates are always displayed so Indian players can see how recently each assessment was conducted.
