Aviator is a crash game built by Spribe, a studio founded in August 2018 in Tbilisi, Georgia. The game launched in January 2019 and reached over 300 operators by December 2020. By October 2023 it counted more than 10 million monthly players and was described as the most-played crash game in the world. It is not a slot, and it has no bonus round.
One round lasts 8 to 30 seconds. A plane takes off, a multiplier climbs from 1.00x, and you decide when to cash out. Wait too long and the stake is gone. This tutorial walks through one full round, the controls, the cash-out button and the auto settings, using the real numbers behind the game.
One round from start to finish
A typical round lasts between 8 and 30 seconds. Operators running Aviator process 60 to 90 rounds per hour, with a few seconds of betting time between rounds.
Here is one round with a $1 stake:
- The betting window opens. You enter $1 and press Bet.
- The plane takes off at 1.00x. The curve starts climbing.
- The multiplier passes 1.20x, then 1.50x, then 1.91x.
- You press Cash Out at 1.91x. You receive $1.91.
- The plane flies away at 3.40x. Anyone still in loses the stake.
Your profit in that example is $0.91. The formula is simple: stake times the multiplier at the moment you cash out. Cash out at 2.00x with $5 and you get $10. Wait for 5x and miss, and you get $0.
About 3% of rounds crash instantly at 1.00x. That is roughly 1 round in 33 where nobody wins anything. The chance of a round even reaching 2.00x is 48.5%, so more than half of all rounds end before that point.
A desktop round paused at 1.91x, with both bet panels active under the rising curve.
Controls and the two bet panels
Every round offers two bet panels side by side. Each panel carries its own stake field, its own Bet button and its own cash-out.
The main controls on each panel:
- Stake field with quick stake buttons for common amounts.
- Bet button, which joins the current betting window or the next round.
- Cash Out button showing the live amount you would receive.
- Bet and Auto tabs at the top of the panel.
Stakes typically run from about $0.10 to $100 per bet. The exact minimum and maximum depend on the operator, and win caps per round are set by each operator as well.
The two panels work independently. A common beginner setup puts $1 in panel one and cashes out at 1.50x for $1.50, while panel two holds $1 and rides toward 10x. One panel can win while the other loses in the same round.
Cash-out odds and the maths
The return to player is fixed at 97%. Spribe builds a 3% house edge into every round, whatever cash-out target you pick.
The probability that a round reaches a multiplier m is 0.97 divided by m:
| Cash-out target | Chance the round reaches it |
|---|---|
| 1.20x | 80.8% |
| 1.50x | 64.7% |
| 2.00x | 48.5% |
| 3.00x | 32.3% |
| 5.00x | 19.4% |
| 10.00x | 9.7% |
| 20.00x | 4.85% |
| 50.00x | 1.94% |
| 100.00x | 0.97% |
The expected value is -3% of your stake at every target. A 1.50x auto cash-out and a 20x gamble cost the same in the long run. Strategy changes variance, not the edge.
The crash point is fixed before take-off. The server publishes a SHA-256 hash of its seed before each round, client seeds from players are combined, and the inputs are revealed afterwards for checking with the verification tool inside the game. Neither the operator nor Spribe can change a result after the round starts.
The 97% RTP sits inside the game itself, so the cash-out maths is the same whether you play at sportingbet aviator or any other bookmaker carrying Spribe’s crash game.
A cash-out only counts if the request reaches the server before the crash. Time-outs come from latency or a slow device, not from the round changing after the fact.
Auto Cash-Out and Auto Play
The Auto tab sits next to the Bet tab on each panel. Auto Cash-Out settles your bet at a preset multiplier, and Auto Play repeats a stake for 10 to 100 rounds.
The auto settings on each panel:
- Auto Cash-Out at a preset multiplier, for example 1.50x.
- Auto Bet, which places the same stake each round.
- Stop-on-win and stop-on-loss limits that end the session.
- Separate settings per panel, so panel one can run 1.50x while panel two runs 10x.
Guides commonly suggest an auto cash-out between 1.5x and 2x. A target of 1.3x to 1.5x wins roughly 65 to 75% of rounds. Two-bet splits cash one panel early and let the other ride to 5x or 10x.
Staking rules from the same guides:
- Stake no more than 2% of your bankroll per round.
- Set loss and win limits before you start.
- Start in demo mode before using real money.
- Avoid Martingale: doubling after each loss reaches 1,024x the base stake after 10 losses.
Set a loss limit you can afford and treat every stake as spent money. Fibonacci and D’Alembert are also named in guides, and none of these systems beats the 3% edge.
Live bets, chat and free bets
The live bets panel lists every stake in the current round. The Top tab shows daily, monthly and all-time wins across the operator.
- All Bets, My Bets and Top tabs for the round’s activity.
- A round history bar showing previous multipliers at the top.
- An in-game chat where operators announce promotions.
- A Provably Fair badge linking to the verification tool.
Previous multipliers describe the past only. Rounds are independent, so a run of low results does not make a high one due.
The full interface: live bets on the left, chat on the right, and a cashed bet at 28.40.
Two promo tools appear in many lobbies. Rain Promo drops free bets into the chat, and the first players to tap “claim” receive them. Operators also grant Free Bets individually, in batches or by API, and some run tournaments with leaderboards.
Demo mode and mobile play
Aviator has a free demo mode that needs no registration. Spribe released Aviator 2.0 on 15 August 2019, making the game 40% faster and lighter for slow connections and low-end phones.
The game runs on desktop, tablet and mobile browsers inside a licensed operator’s site or app. There is no standalone official Aviator app from Spribe.
The mobile view keeps the curve, stake field and cash-out button on one small screen.
Third-party “Aviator” and “Aviator Predictor” apps on Google Play, Softonic, Uptodown and APK mirrors are clones. Version names like “Predictor v4.0” or “v12” are marketing, and Telegram signal bots resell public maths. Prediction is impossible because the crash point is committed by hash before the round. Hollywoodbets tells players not to spend money on Aviator predictors.
The demo uses the same mechanics with a virtual balance. Playing off-peak can give a smoother connection, but it does not change the odds.
Aviator FAQ
Beginners ask the same five questions about Aviator on every operator. The answers below stick to the published mechanics and the 97% RTP.
Is Aviator rigged?
No evidence supports that. Each round’s crash point is committed by a SHA-256 hash before take-off, and you can verify the inputs after the round with the tool inside the game. Rounds are independent, and this is a high-variance game, so losing streaks happen without any rigging.
Can an app predict Aviator?
No. Prediction would require reversing a hash committed before the round starts. Predictor apps and Telegram bots are third-party products with no connection to Spribe, and guides advise against paying for them.
Can you play Aviator for free?
Yes. The demo mode needs no registration and uses the same mechanics. Free bets also arrive through Rain Promo drops in the chat or through operator promotions.
Why did my cash-out time out?
The cash-out request must reach the server before the crash. A slow connection or device delays the request, and the round ends first. The game is built for low bandwidth, but latency still decides close calls.
What cash-out target should a beginner use?
Guides commonly start at 1.5x to 2x with auto cash-out, which wins roughly half to two-thirds of rounds. The expected value is -3% at every target, so your choice sets the variance, not the profit.
