How We Rate

Our Review Methodology at Sarcustomize

At Sarcustomize (sarcustomize.in), every casino and aviator game review you read has been personally tested, verified, and written by James Wilson. We do not publish ratings based on promotional material, press releases, or operator-supplied information. Our methodology is built on real-world testing, independent research, and a transparent scoring system that Indian players can trust.

This page explains exactly how we evaluate platforms like 1xbet Aviator, what criteria matter most to us, and why our ratings reflect genuine player experiences rather than commercial relationships.

Step-by-Step Review Process

Before any score is published on Sarcustomize, James Wilson follows a structured evaluation process that typically spans several weeks per platform. Here is how that process works from start to finish.

Step 1: Initial Platform Verification

James begins by verifying the operator's licensing credentials, checking registrations against regulatory bodies, and confirming that the platform legally accepts players from India. Any platform that cannot demonstrate valid licensing is immediately flagged and reviewed accordingly.

Step 2: Account Registration and KYC Testing

A real account is created using standard Indian player details. James tests the registration flow, identity verification process, and onboarding experience exactly as a new player from India would encounter it in 2026. Pain points, delays, and documentation requirements are all recorded.

Step 3: Deposit and Withdrawal Testing

James makes actual deposits using payment methods available to Indian players, including UPI, Paytm, and bank transfers where applicable. Withdrawal requests are submitted and the time taken, fees charged, and overall experience are documented in full.

Step 4: Gameplay and Game Selection Review

James personally plays Aviator and other available titles, evaluating game performance, fairness indicators, loading times, and the overall user experience. RTP information, volatility, and provably fair mechanisms are checked wherever available.

Step 5: Bonus and Promotion Evaluation

All welcome bonuses, free bet offers, and ongoing promotions are claimed and evaluated against their terms and conditions. Wagering requirements, time limits, game restrictions, and maximum withdrawal caps are all assessed from a player's perspective.

Step 6: Customer Support Testing

Support channels including live chat, email, and telephone are contacted with genuine queries at different times of day. Response times, quality of answers, and availability in English for Indian players are all measured.

Step 7: Mobile Experience Assessment

James tests the platform on both Android and iOS devices, evaluating the mobile browser experience and any dedicated app performance, including load speed, navigation ease, and whether all features available on desktop are accessible on mobile.

Our Rating Criteria and Weightings

Every platform reviewed on Sarcustomize receives a final score out of 10. That score is calculated using six weighted criteria, each reflecting how much the factor matters to a typical Indian player in 2026.

Understanding Our Rating Scale

All platforms are scored on a scale of 1 to 10. Here is what each range means in practical terms.

How Sarcustomize Stays Independent and Unbiased

Independence is non-negotiable at Sarcustomize. James Wilson maintains editorial control over every review and rating published on this site. No operator, affiliate manager, or third party can purchase a higher score or influence the content of any review.

While Sarcustomize may earn commission through affiliate partnerships when readers sign up to reviewed platforms, this financial relationship never affects our scores or editorial conclusions. A platform that pays higher commission does not receive a higher rating. Platforms with poor safety records are rated poorly regardless of any commercial arrangement.

Our commitment to Indian players is straightforward: you will always read what James Wilson genuinely found during real testing, not what an operator wants you to hear.
