How We Rate Casinos
At Genesis Institute, we evaluate online casinos with a rigorous methodology to help Indian players find trustworthy platforms for Aviator and other games. Our rating system is transparent, data-driven, and updated regularly to reflect current standards in the gaming industry.
1. Licensing & Regulation
A casino's legitimacy begins with proper licensing. We prioritize casinos regulated by recognized authorities including:
- Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) – One of the most stringent European regulators
- UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) – Known for player protection standards
- Curaçao eGaming – Common for platforms serving international markets
- Indian Local Licenses – Where applicable, compliance with local jurisdiction requirements
Casinos without verifiable licenses receive significantly lower ratings regardless of other factors.
