How We Rate Casinos
At Nails Prond, we've developed a comprehensive methodology to evaluate online casinos and gaming platforms offering the Aviator game. Our ratings are designed to help Indian players make informed decisions about where to play safely and responsibly. Below, we detail the criteria we assess, listed in order of importance.

The foundation of any trustworthy casino is proper licensing and regulatory oversight. We prioritize platforms licensed by recognized authorities including:

- UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) โ Stringent requirements for security and responsible gambling
- Curaรงao eGaming License โ Reputable jurisdiction for online gaming operations
- Indian Local Licenses โ Compliance with IN jurisdiction requirements where applicable
We verify that casinos maintain active, valid licenses and comply with all regulatory obligations. Unlicensed operators are automatically excluded from our reviews.
