If you’ve seen the Aviator game mentioned recently, you may have wondered why so many people are talking about it. Aviator is a type of “crash game,” designed around timing and chance rather than skill.
This article explains how its cash out system works, how the multiplier affects potential payouts, and what the recent UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) licence suspension means for its availability.
It aims to give you a clearer understanding of the mechanics behind Aviator—without assumptions or jargon—so you can see how outcomes are decided and what happens if you choose to cash out.
How the Aviator Game Cash Out System Works
Aviator is a fast-paced casino game developed by Spribe. It involves placing a stake and watching a small plane ascend across the screen. As the plane climbs, a number called the multiplier increases—starting from 1.00x and rising in real time. The goal is to try and cash out before the plane disappears, known as a crash.
If you cash out in time, your payout equals your stake multiplied by the multiplier shown at that exact moment. For example, if you bet £2 and cash out at 3.00x, your return would be £6. If the crash occurs before you cash out, the stake is lost for that round.
The crash point is determined by a Random Number Generator (RNG). Each round is independent, meaning the result of one round does not affect the next. There are no patterns, and there is no way to predict when the crash will occur.
At the time of writing, Aviator is currently unavailable in the UK. The UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) has suspended Spribe’s UK software licence for serious non-compliance. The UKGC directed Spribe to stop all game hosting activity until its licensing issue is resolved. This means Aviator should not currently be offered by any UK-licensed operators.
Understanding the Multiplier and When to Cash Out
The multiplier shows how much your stake could return if you cash out before the crash. It rises quickly, sometimes reaching over 100x, but it can stop at any moment. Most rounds end early—multipliers above 50x tend to occur far less frequently than smaller ones.
When you decide to cash out depends on your preference for potential reward versus losing your stake. Some players may prefer smaller multipliers (for example, cashing out between 1.20x and 2.00x), while others might wait longer for larger potential returns. However, because the crash is random, no timing or “strategy” guarantees success.
Crash games like Aviator differ from traditional casino games such as roulette or slots. They rely on continuous play and timing decisions, rather than reels or paylines. Because each casino may operate slightly different game versions, you may want to review the game’s information screen before playing to better understand its payout structure and rules.
Step-by-Step Guide to Withdrawing Winnings
Here’s how a typical Aviator round functions from start to finish:
- Set your stake: You choose how much to bet before the round begins.
- The plane takes off: The multiplier starts at 1.00x and climbs rapidly.
- Cash out: You can cash out at any point while the plane is still flying.
- Crash event: If the plane crashes before you cash out, your stake for that round is lost.
- Winnings credited: If you cash out before the crash, your return (stake × multiplier) is instantly displayed and added to your on-site balance.
Some versions of Aviator may allow an auto cash out feature, letting you pre-set a multiplier to exit automatically. However, the round can end before reaching that value. Because outcomes are random, winnings are never guaranteed.
Common Mistakes Players Make When Cashing Out
Understanding how the system works may help you during play. Some common issues include:
- Waiting for very high multipliers and missing the chance to cash out.
- Clicking the cash out button too late, especially when multitasking.
- Believing previous rounds influence the next result.
- Forgetting to confirm that a cash out request registered before the crash occurred.
Every round operates independently, and all outcomes are random. There is no pattern to follow or strategy that ensures a return.
If you choose to play similar games in future, remember that the best or worst timing is subjective—it depends entirely on your own personal preferences, not on predicting outcomes.
How Long Does Aviator Cash Out Take in the UK?
As of November 2025, Aviator remains unavailable for UK players while Spribe resolves its licensing issue with the Gambling Commission. The suspension requires Spribe to halt all game-hosting operations in the UK until it obtains the appropriate remote casino game host licence.
When Aviator was available, cash outs within the game were nearly instant—returns appeared on screen as soon as the cash out button was pressed, provided it was before the crash. The credited amount was immediately added to your casino balance.
Withdrawing those funds from your casino account to your bank or e-wallet depended on the payment method and operator policies. E-wallet withdrawals typically processed within a few hours, while debit card or bank transfer withdrawals often took one to three working days.
If you decide to gamble once the game becomes available again, it may help to:
- Set sensible limits for how much you spend and how long you play.
- Take breaks between sessions to help make considered decisions.
- Remember that every round is random, and there is no guaranteed way to win.
