How We Rate

Our Review Methodology at Sdanc

At Sdanc (sdanc.in), every review you read has been personally researched, tested, and written by James Wilson. Our mission is simple: to give Indian players honest, accurate, and up-to-date information about 1xbet Aviator and related casino experiences in 2026. This page explains exactly how we evaluate platforms, what criteria we use, and why you can trust our scores.

Who Is Behind These Reviews

James Wilson is the founder and lead reviewer at Sdanc. With years of hands-on experience in the online gambling industry, James has developed a structured, repeatable methodology for evaluating casino platforms available to Indian players. He personally registers accounts, makes real deposits, tests withdrawal processes, contacts customer support, and plays the actual games before writing a single word of any review. No review on this site is based on secondhand information or operator-supplied materials alone.

James holds no financial partnerships with the platforms he reviews. Sdanc operates independently and is not owned or controlled by any casino operator, software provider, or affiliate network that could compromise editorial integrity.

Step-by-Step Review Process

Every platform reviewed on Sdanc goes through the following stages before a final score is published:

• Step 1 – Initial Research: James verifies the platform's licensing status, regulatory body, and legal standing for Indian players.
• Step 2 – Account Registration: A real account is created using the same process an Indian user would follow, checking for KYC requirements and sign-up ease.
• Step 3 – Deposit Testing: James makes a real deposit using payment methods popular in India, including UPI, Paytm, and bank transfers where available.
• Step 4 – Bonus Evaluation: All advertised bonuses are claimed and their terms and conditions are read carefully, including wagering requirements, expiry dates, and game restrictions.
• Step 5 – Game Testing: The Aviator game and other available titles are played in real-money mode to assess performance, fairness, and user experience.
• Step 6 – Withdrawal Testing: A withdrawal is requested to verify processing times, fees, and the overall reliability of the cashout process.
• Step 7 – Support Contact: Customer support is contacted via live chat and email to assess response times, helpfulness, and language support.
• Step 8 – Mobile Testing: The platform is accessed on a mobile device to evaluate app performance or mobile browser compatibility.
• Step 9 – Scoring and Writing: All findings are compiled, scores are assigned based on the weighted criteria below, and the review is written in full.

Rating Criteria and Weightings

Each platform reviewed on Sdanc is scored out of 10 points. The final score is a weighted average based on six key categories. Here is how each category contributes to the overall rating:

Category	Weighting	What We Evaluate
Licensing and Safety	25%	Valid gaming licence, SSL encryption, responsible gambling tools, data protection practices
Bonuses and Promotions	20%	Welcome offer value, wagering requirements, ongoing promotions, fairness of bonus terms
Game Selection	20%	Availability of Aviator, variety of other titles, software providers, game loading speed and fairness
Payment Methods	15%	Indian-friendly deposit and withdrawal options, processing times, fees, minimum and maximum limits
Customer Support	10%	Availability of live chat, response speed, quality of answers, support in English and Hindi
Mobile Experience	10%	Mobile app or browser quality, ease of navigation, game performance on smaller screens

Understanding Our Rating Scale

All platforms are scored on a scale of 1 to 10, where higher scores reflect better performance across the weighted categories above.

• 9.0 – 10.0: Excellent – Highly recommended for Indian players
• 7.0 – 8.9: Good – Solid platform with minor drawbacks
• 5.0 – 6.9: Average – Worth considering but notable limitations exist
• 3.0 – 4.9: Below Average – Significant issues identified
• 1.0 – 2.9: Poor – Not recommended

How Sdanc Stays Unbiased

Independence is a core value at Sdanc. Here is how we protect the integrity of our reviews:

• James Wilson funds all testing personally. No platform provides free credits or sponsored access in exchange for favourable coverage.
• Affiliate relationships, where they exist, are clearly disclosed. Earning a referral commission never influences the score a platform receives.
• Negative findings are always published. If a withdrawal is delayed, a bonus term is unfair, or support is unhelpful, it is included in the review without softening.
• Scores are reviewed and updated regularly to reflect changes in platform quality, new licensing information, or user feedback received by Sdanc.
• No operator has editorial control over any content published on sdanc.in.
