The basic rule
When a round starts, the plane takes off and the multiplier begins to climb from 1.00x. You need to press Cash Out before the plane flies away: your stake is then multiplied by the multiplier shown at that moment. If the plane flies away before you cash out, the stake is lost.
What happens in a single round
- Betting window. Between rounds there is a short countdown. This is when you enter your stake and press Bet. If you press it after the round has started, the bet is placed for the next round instead.
- Take-off. The plane starts flying and the multiplier rises: 1.10x, 1.50x, 2.00x and so on. The longer it flies, the faster the number grows.
- Cash Out or lose. At any moment you can press Cash Out and lock in your stake multiplied by the current number. The crash point can be anywhere, including almost immediately after take-off.
- Result and history. The round ends when the plane flies away. Its final multiplier is added to the history bar at the top, and the next betting window opens.
Example: you bet 10 units and cash out at 2.40x. You receive 24 units back, which is your 10-unit stake plus 14 units of profit. If the plane had flown away at 2.30x, you would have lost the 10 units.
The interface: what is on screen?
- Two bet panels: you can place two separate bets in the same round.
- Auto Bet: automatically places the same stake every round.
- Auto Cash Out: cashes out for you as soon as a chosen multiplier (for example 1.50x) is reached.
- History: the multipliers of previous rounds. They do not predict the next round.
Using two bets in the same round
The second bet panel is opened with the "+" button. The two bets are completely independent: each has its own stake, its own Cash Out button and its own auto settings. A common setup is one larger bet with a low, conservative Auto Cash Out and one smaller bet left to fly longer. Remember that two bets mean twice the money at risk in every round, so the total stake should still fit within your budget.
How to set up Auto Bet and Auto Cash Out
- Open the Auto tab on the bet panel.
- Enter your stake and switch on Auto Cash Out, then type the multiplier at which you want to collect, for example 1.80x.
- Switch on Auto Bet if you want the same bet to repeat every round. Depending on the version, you can choose the number of rounds and stop conditions, such as stopping when your balance falls by a set amount.
- Check both panels before each session: an Auto Bet left running on the second panel is a common way to lose more than planned.
Auto Cash Out is useful because it removes reaction time and emotion from the decision. It does not change the odds of the game.
Popular strategies and the truth about them
| Method | How it works | Risk |
|---|---|---|
| Low multiplier | Auto Cash Out at 1.3x–1.5x | Wins often, but one early "crash" can wipe out several wins |
| Two bets | One cashed out at 1.5x, the other at a higher multiplier | Spreads the risk, but guarantees nothing |
| Martingale (doubling up) | Increase the stake after every loss | Very risky: a losing streak drains the balance quickly |
Important: Aviator's RTP is roughly 97%, which means that in the long run the average result of any strategy is negative. A strategy only helps you manage risk; it never guarantees a win.
What an RTP of 97% really means
RTP (return to player) is the share of all money staked that the game pays back over a very large number of rounds. Spribe publishes a figure of about 97% for Aviator. In plain terms, out of every 100 units bet by all players over millions of rounds, around 97 are returned as winnings and around 3 stay with the house. It does not mean you will get 97 back from every 100 you bet in an evening: in the short term results swing widely in both directions. But the longer you play, the closer your average result tends to move towards that built-in loss.
Why no strategy beats the house edge: the Martingale example
The Martingale system tells you to double your stake after every loss, so that one win recovers all previous losses plus your first stake. Here is what that looks like with a starting bet of 1 unit and a target of 2.00x:
| Round | Stake | Total staked so far | Profit if this round wins |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1 | 1 | +1 |
| 2 | 2 | 3 | +1 |
| 3 | 4 | 7 | +1 |
| 4 | 8 | 15 | +1 |
| 5 | 16 | 31 | +1 |
| 6 | 32 | 63 | +1 |
| 7 | 64 | 127 | +1 |
After six losses in a row you have already staked 63 units to chase a profit of 1. With a balance of 100, you cannot even afford the seventh bet. Losing streaks of this length are not rare over hundreds of rounds, and bookmakers also set maximum stakes. The system produces many small wins and an occasional large loss, and the average still follows the RTP.
Simple bankroll rules
- Play with money you can afford to lose. Never use money meant for rent, food, bills or debts.
- Keep each stake small relative to your session budget, so that a run of losses does not end the session in minutes.
- Decide on a loss limit and a time limit before you start, and stop when you reach either one.
- Use the bookmaker's tools: deposit limits, session reminders and self-exclusion are usually available in the account settings.
Playing responsibly
- Set a budget for each session and do not go over it.
- Use Auto Cash Out: it removes mistakes made in split-second decisions.
- Do not raise your stake after a loss.
- Ignore "signals" and "hacks"; read more here: the truth about Aviator hacks and predictors.
- Take regular breaks: the rounds are so short that an hour can pass without you noticing.
Aviator is for adults (18+) only. If gambling is causing you stress, money problems or conflict with family, stop and seek support from a gambling helpline or an organisation such as Gamblers Anonymous.
