How We Rate Casinos
At SWG Assistance, we evaluate online casinos using a comprehensive methodology to help players in India make informed decisions about where to play Aviator and other games. Our rating system is transparent, unbiased, and based on player safety, game quality, and overall user experience.
1. Licensing & Regulation
The most critical factor in our assessment is whether a casino holds valid gaming licenses. We prioritize casinos regulated by:
- Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) β Gold standard for player protection
- UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) β Strict regulatory oversight
- CuraΓ§ao Gaming License β Widely recognized authority
- Local India Licenses β Where applicable and legally obtained
Unlicensed casinos receive significantly lower ratings regardless of other features. We verify all licenses directly through official regulatory bodies.
2. Game Selection & Software Providers
We evaluate the breadth and quality of games available, including:
- Aviator game availability and performance
- Slot machine variety and RTP (Return to Player) rates
- Live casino offerings (live dealers, table games)
- Traditional table games (Roulette, Blackjack, Poker)
- Partnerships with reputable software providers (Pragmatic Play, Evolution Gaming, Microgaming, etc.)
Casinos with diverse, well-known game libraries and certified fair gaming software score higher in this category.
3. Bonus Terms & Wagering Requirements
We thoroughly examine promotional offers and their underlying conditions:
- Transparency of terms and conditions
- Wagering/rollover requirements (we flag requirements exceeding 40x)
