Aviator Glossary: Game and Casino Terms from A to Z

An Android app file installed from outside Google Play. Some casinos offer their app as an APK on their own site. Spribe offers no standalone Aviator APK, so an “Aviator APK” from a third-party site is a red flag.

A switch on the Auto tab that places the same bet every round. You still cash out by hand unless Auto Cash Out is also on.

Closes a bet at a multiplier you set in advance, such as 1.50x or 2.00x. If the plane flies away at exactly your target, the bet loses: at a 1.25x crash, the multiplier only reached 1.24x.

Runs a set number of rounds automatically. You can add stop conditions: stop if your balance drops or rises by a set amount, or if a single win exceeds a set amount.

The money you set aside for playing and are ready to lose. Many players keep each bet at 1% to 2% of it and set a stop-loss for the session.

The button that takes a placed bet back before the round starts. Once the plane takes off, the only way out is Cash Out.

Collecting your bet during the flight. You win your stake times the multiplier at that moment: $1 cashed out at 2.50x pays $2.50.

A random value from your device that goes into the round result if you are among the first three bets. By default it changes every game; you can also enter your own in Provably Fair Settings.

An unauthorized copy of Aviator that imitates Spribe’s design. In January 2025, Spribe warned casinos about such copies and named the distributor PopOK Gaming.

A game in which a multiplier rises until it “crashes” at a random point, and you must cash out before that. Aviator, released in 2019, made the format popular at online casinos.

The multiplier at which the plane flies away and the round ends. It is fixed before the round starts and is the first value the multiplier does not reach.

A gambling license from Curaçao, common among offshore casinos. Its regulator, the CGA, doesn’t settle individual player complaints the way a court does; a law in force since December 24, 2024, provides for dispute resolution.

A fake video ad in which a celebrity or a news anchor appears to promote an “Aviator” app. Security researchers and fact-checkers have confirmed several such ads.

A free version of the game with a virtual balance. Spribe runs the official demo on spribe.co, with a US dollar balance and no registration.

The “FLEW AWAY!” message that ends a round. Any bet not cashed out by then is lost.

Bets the casino gives you, or that drop in through Rain. You find them under Game Menu, Free Bets. The casino sets their terms, such as a minimum cash-out multiplier and an expiry date.

A casino’s own demo of Aviator, marked by an orange “FUN MODE” bar, with a button to switch to real money. It shows that casino’s bet presets and limits.

The belief that a run of low multipliers makes a high one due. Each Aviator round uses fresh seeds, so past results don’t affect the next one.

The menu window with the minimum bet, maximum bet and maximum win for one bet. Each casino sets these values; the minimum bet is often around $0.10.

Players are placed at random into rooms, and each room has its own seeds and results. A friend in another room can see a different round.

A fixed-length code computed from data by a one-way function. Anyone can compute the hash of a seed, but the seed can’t practically be recovered from its hash, which is why Aviator can publish it before the round.

The casino’s average advantage: 100% minus the RTP. At Aviator’s 97% RTP, it is 3%, about $0.03 per $1 bet on average, whatever betting system you use.

Short for “know your customer”: the identity check a casino runs, usually with an ID and proof of address. Offshore casinos often ask for it before your first withdrawal.

The real-time list of bets, on the left on desktop and under the bet panels on a phone. All Bets lists everyone’s bets in the current round with their cash-out points, Previous shows the last round, and Top shows the biggest wins and multipliers by day, month or year.

A betting system that doubles the stake after every loss so that one win recovers them. It keeps the 3% edge and can hit the casino’s maximum bet or your bankroll in a losing streak.

A cap on the win per bet, set by the casino in money, not as a multiplier. When a win reaches it, the game cashes the bet out automatically. Sites that list “10,000x max win” simplify this.

The number that rises from 1.00x during the flight and sets your payout at the moment you cash out. By our calculation from the formula in Spribe’s demo client, it reaches 2x after about 8.4 seconds and 10x after about 27.7 seconds.

The strip at the top of the game with the crash points of recent rounds. It describes the past only and doesn’t predict the next round.

Your own past bets, with date, stake, multiplier and cash-out. Each round has a green Provably Fair icon that opens its fairness check.

A model widely used for crash games: the chance of reaching a multiplier x is about 0.97 divided by x, so about 48.5% for 2.00x. Spribe doesn’t publish the real distribution, so treat it as an estimate.

The SPRIBE badge with “Official Game, Since 2019” on the loading screen of Spribe’s Aviator. It is one of the quickest signs of the original.

A license from a jurisdiction such as Curaçao or Anjouan that lets a casino serve players abroad. It doesn’t make the casino legal in your country; the 11 casinos on this site all hold one.

An app, program or website that claims to show the next multiplier. It can’t work in Spribe’s game, and researchers have tied such downloads to malware and deposit scams.

Spribe’s system that lets you check a finished round. The result comes from the server seed and the first three players’ seeds, and the server seed’s hash is shown before the round, so a later change would fail the check.

A progressive web app: a casino site saved to your home screen, usually from Safari on an iPhone. It opens like an app, with no file to download.

A feature of the in-game chat that drops free bets for players to claim with a Claim button. The casino or other players can send it, and the casino sets the conditions.

One flight of the plane: a betting window, the takeoff and the crash. All players in a room see the same round, and each round uses new seeds.

The share of all bets a game pays back over a very long run. Spribe states 97% for Aviator: about $97 back for every $100 wagered on average, while a single session can end far above or below that.

A random string of 16 symbols generated on the casino’s side for each round. Only its hash is visible beforehand, in Provably Fair Settings; the seed itself is revealed after the round.

The hash functions in Aviator’s fairness check. The next server seed is shown as a SHA-256 hash, and the round result comes from a SHA-512 hash of the server seed combined with three client seeds.

Telegram or WhatsApp channels and bots that post entries such as “bet now, cash out at 1.8x.” They can’t know the next multiplier, and investigations describe paid groups that block withdrawals.

The developer of Aviator, registered in Estonia as Spribe OÜ and founded in 2018. Its only official website is spribe.co, and its main license is from the Malta Gaming Authority.

Aviator allows two independent bets per round. The second panel opens with the plus icon, and each bet has its own Cash Out and Auto Cash Out.

How much results swing from round to round. Spribe doesn’t state it for Aviator, and reviews range from low to medium. In practice, your cash-out target sets it: low targets win often and pay little.

How many times you must bet a bonus, and sometimes the deposit too, before you can withdraw it. Terms often add a maximum bet and a time limit, and Aviator may not count toward wagering.
