Your Safety is Our
Top Priority
Every operator on WanderPool is identity-verified and certified. Here's exactly how we keep you safe.
How we vet every operator
No operator goes live until all these checks pass:
Government ID verification
Aadhaar and PAN verified for every operator and solo guide before listing approval.
Bank account verification
Penny drop verification confirms the operator's bank account is real and linked to their identity.
Activity-specific safety certifications
Rafting operators must hold AIRI certification. Paragliding operators require APPI or DGCA certification. We verify the original documents.
Minimum 5 real photos
We require genuine photos of actual activities. Stock imagery is not accepted.
Video verification call
Every new operator completes a 10-minute video call with our team before going live.
Digital operator agreement
Operators sign a digital agreement committing to safety standards, price parity, and customer care.
Ongoing monitoring
Operator quality is tracked continuously — not just at signup.
Yellow Flag
Operator rating drops below 3.8★ or 3+ complaints in 30 days. Listing is demoted in search results and operator is notified.
Red Flag
Rating drops below 3.0★ or a safety complaint is received. All listings are paused immediately pending review.
Permanent Ban
Fraud, safety incident, or third red flag results in permanent removal from the platform and payout hold.
