How we score

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.

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.

Independence rule

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.
