How We Rate
Our Review Methodology at 365design
At 365design.in, every casino and Aviator game platform you read about has been personally tested and evaluated by James Wilson before a single word of the review is written. This page explains exactly how that process works, what criteria we measure, how we weight each factor, and why you can trust our ratings to be independent, accurate, and genuinely useful for Indian players in 2026.
Who Is Behind These Reviews
James Wilson is the founder, author, and sole reviewer at 365design.in. With years of hands-on experience evaluating online gambling platforms across the Indian market, James brings a structured, evidence-based approach to every review. He is not affiliated with, employed by, or financially incentivized by any of the operators he reviews. All opinions are his own, formed through real testing with real money where applicable.
The Step-by-Step Review Process
Before any rating is published, James follows a consistent multi-stage evaluation process:
- Step 1 — Initial Research: James begins by verifying the platform's licensing status, ownership, and regulatory standing in jurisdictions relevant to Indian players.
- Step 2 — Account Registration: He creates a real player account using a standard Indian registration process, noting how smooth, fast, and transparent the sign-up experience is.
- Step 3 — Deposit Testing: James makes a real deposit using payment methods commonly available in India, including UPI, Paytm, and bank transfers, to evaluate speed and reliability.
- Step 4 — Aviator Game Testing: He plays the Aviator game directly, assessing RTP behaviour, loading performance, fairness mechanics, and the overall user experience on both desktop and mobile.
- Step 5 — Bonus Evaluation: James reads the full terms and conditions of all active promotions, tests wagering requirements hands-on, and flags any misleading or unfair bonus terms.
- Step 6 — Customer Support Contact: He contacts support via live chat and email to measure response times, helpfulness, and the availability of Hindi or regional language assistance.
- Step 7 — Withdrawal Testing: Where possible, James initiates a real withdrawal to verify processing times and whether the platform honours its stated payout speeds.
- Step 8 — Final Scoring: All data collected is applied to the weighted rating framework described below, and a final score is calculated before the review is written.
