Review Methodology
Every operator assessment on this site is produced by the same weighted framework. Advertising spend does not change a position — here is exactly how the scoring works.
The Weighted Criteria
What Each Criterion Checks
Licensing & Regulatory Status (25%)
We verify licences directly with the issuing authority, never from a footer logo, and we review the operator's standing against the player's local framework — for Ethiopian-facing pages, the 2025–2026 regulatory actions detailed in our Ethiopia guide.
Withdrawal Reliability (20%)
Withdrawal terms, documented processing behaviour, KYC friction and limit structures. A platform that takes deposits smoothly but obstructs withdrawals fails this criterion regardless of everything else.
Game Authenticity (15%)
The operator must carry the genuine SPRIBE build of Aviator with Provably Fair controls exposed — imitations end the assessment.
Payments, Security, Responsible Gambling (30% combined)
Locally relevant deposit and withdrawal methods confirmed inside the cashier; HTTPS and two-factor support; and the presence of deposit limits, time-outs and self-exclusion tools.
Mobile UX and Support (10% combined)
Interface quality on mid-range devices and the substance of support answers to practical withdrawal questions.
Commercial relationships fund the site, but they buy placement labels — never scores. An operator cannot pay to improve its assessment, and every sponsored listing is marked as such.
