How to play Aviator: a step-by-step guide

Step 1. Place your bet

Before each round starts, a betting window opens — usually around 5 seconds. During this window you enter an amount and confirm your bet. Aviator's signature feature is the dual bet: you can activate two independent bet slots in the same round, for example one sized for a fast, conservative cash-out and the other held longer for a bigger multiplier. See our strategies page for how to use this tactically.

The bet is already placed (note the "Cancel" button instead of "Bet"), auto cash-out is set to x1.70

Step 2. Take-off and the rising multiplier

Once the betting window closes, the round begins: the plane takes off and the on-screen multiplier starts climbing from 1.00x. The growth speed and crash point are determined in advance by the algorithm (see provably fair) — there is no way to predict the crash point mid-flight, and the current multiplier value gives no extra information about what happens next. Don't confuse this with actual "prediction": services that claim to do exactly that are covered on our myths and scams page.

The multiplier keeps climbing — the button on the left already shows what you'd collect if you hit it right now (296 USD on a 200 stake)

Step 3. Cash out in time

While the plane is airborne, the "Cash Out" button is active — pressing it locks in your winnings as bet × current multiplier. If you've set an auto cash-out at a specific value for one of your bets, the system will do it for you automatically, even if you look away from the screen.

This is what shows up right after hitting "Cash Out" (or when auto cash-out triggers) — confirming the multiplier and the win amount

Step 4. The round ends — the next one begins

After the crash, the multiplier and round result get added to the history (usually shown as a strip of recent values at the top of the screen), and the betting window for the next round opens almost immediately.

"Flew away!" — the plane crashed at 2.83x. If you hadn't cashed out by then, that bet is gone

Useful interface settings

Playing on mobile: what's different

Aviator is an HTML5 game that runs directly in the browser or an operator's embedded client — there's no separate app to install. On a phone, the layout automatically switches to a vertical arrangement: the bet panel usually sits at the bottom, the multiplier is centered, and round history collapses into a compact strip at the top. The logic is identical to desktop — steps 1–4 above don't change.

Common beginner mistakes

• Betting on a "correction." After a run of low multipliers it feels like "a high one is due" — that's the gambler's fallacy: every round is independent, and past multipliers don't affect the next one. More in our glossary.
• Ignoring bankroll management. Dual betting increases the speed at which a deposit gets spent if both tickets are set aggressively — model your session first with our bankroll calculator.
• Chasing a high multiplier without auto cash-out. It's easy to hesitate for a couple of seconds at the wrong moment — that's the typical way a winning position turns into a loss.
• Playing without a pre-set session limit. Decide how much you're willing to spend and how long you'll play before you start — see our responsible gambling page.
