Aviator and crash game glossary

A genre of online games where a visual element (a plane, rocket, or rising curve) climbs alongside a multiplier starting at 1.00x, and the round ends in a "crash" at a random point. Players must cash out before the crash. See our Aviator overview for more.

The number your stake is multiplied by at the moment of cash out. It climbs from 1.00x with no fixed ceiling until the crash occurs.

The button and action a player uses to lock in a win at the current multiplier, before the crash happens.

A feature that lets you set a target multiplier in advance so the system collects your win automatically, without watching the round manually.

Aviator's signature feature: placing two independent bets in the same round, for example with different cash-out targets. See the strategies section for more.

The share of total stakes that is returned to players on average over a long run. Aviator's stated benchmark is around 97%. See our full RTP and fairness breakdown.

The flip side of RTP: the share of stakes the house keeps on average. At an RTP of 97%, the house edge is around 3%.

A cryptographic mechanism that lets any player independently verify a round wasn't tampered with after the fact. Aviator's version is based on SHA-512. Details on our provably fair, explained simply page.

A random value used to compute a round's outcome. Provably fair games distinguish a server seed (from the operator) and client seeds (from players); combining them through a hash function determines the round's result.

The output of a cryptographic hash function (e.g. SHA-512) applied to a seed — published before a round so players can verify fairness once it's over.

The algorithm that produces the random value determining a round's outcome.

The mistaken belief that a run of similar outcomes (say, several low-multiplier rounds in a row) makes the opposite result more likely next round. Covered in detail in myths and scams.

The sum a player stakes on a round before it starts — adjustable only during the short betting window between rounds.

A list of the multipliers previous rounds ended on — shown for interest and fairness verification, not as a signal for predicting the next round.

A real-time list of other players' bets and cash-outs shown in the game interface.

How "choppy" results are over a short run. A conservative, early cash-out lowers volatility (frequent small wins); waiting for a high multiplier raises it (rare, larger wins). Doesn't change overall expected value. See our strategies section.

A fraudulent third-party app or site claiming to predict the crash point. Technically impossible given how provably fair works. Full breakdown in myths and scams.

Paid Telegram channels or chats selling subscriptions to cash-out "signals" — impossible for the same reason predictors are.

A system of doubling your stake after every loss. Doesn't change the negative expected value, but sharply increases the risk of a catastrophic drawdown. Covered in strategies.

Managing the size and duration of your risk: a pre-set session budget, a fixed stake size, time limits, and stop-loss/stop-win points. The one part of the game actually in a player's hands — try it on our bankroll calculator.

The option to temporarily or permanently block your own account access with an operator, or in some countries, with all licensed operators via a national register. More on our responsible gambling page.
