Aviator has fewer rules than almost any other betting game, which is part of its appeal — but the few that exist decide real money, particularly the ones about betting windows and disconnections. Here they are in full, in the order they apply during a round.

The round structure

A round has three phases: a short betting window of a few seconds, the flight during which the multiplier rises from 1.00x, and the end of the round when the plane flies away. The crash point is fixed when the round is created, before the flight is displayed.

Bets can only be placed during the betting window. A bet confirmed after it closes is queued for the following round instead — a common source of accidental bets.

Betting rules

  • You may place up to two bets in a single round, each with its own stake and its own cashout.
  • Stakes must sit between the operator's minimum and maximum — commonly from around USD 0.10.
  • A placed bet cannot be cancelled once the round starts.
  • Bets are settled in your account currency; Zimbabwean accounts are typically in USD.

Cashout rules

Pressing Cash Out during the flight settles the bet at the multiplier displayed at the moment the instruction reaches the server. Your return is stake multiplied by that value.

A bet cannot be partially cashed out. If you want two different exits in one round, use both bet panels.

If the round ends before your cashout is registered, the stake is lost. This is why auto cashout is recommended on mobile connections — it registers your target with the round in advance.

Auto cashout and auto bet

Auto cashout closes your bet automatically at a target multiplier you set before the round. Auto bet repeats your stake automatically each round until you switch it off.

Both are conveniences and neither alters the odds. Auto bet in particular deserves care: it will happily stake round after round while your attention is elsewhere.

Disconnections

Rounds are settled on the server, not in your browser. If your connection drops mid-flight, the round still resolves: an active auto cashout executes at your target, and a bet with no auto cashout is settled by the round outcome — meaning it loses if the round ends.

That asymmetry is the strongest practical argument for setting an auto-cashout target every time you play on mobile data.

Fairness and history

Aviator uses a provably fair mechanism: a hash committing the round outcome is published before the round, and the values behind it are revealed afterwards so players can verify the result was not altered.

The results history strip and your own bet history are available in the game. Both are records — neither has predictive value, because rounds are independent draws.

RTP and limits

Aviator's published RTP is around 97%, so the house retains roughly 3% of turnover over a very large number of rounds. Individual sessions vary widely in both directions.

Operators set their own maximum bet, maximum win and withdrawal limits — at Citybet the standard EcoCash withdrawal limit is USD 500 per day, which support can raise on request. You must be 18 or older to place a bet.

Frequently asked questions

What happens if I lose connection during an Aviator round?

The round settles on the server. An active auto cashout executes at your target; without one, the bet is settled by the round outcome and loses if the round ends.

Can I cancel a bet after the round starts?

No. Once the flight begins the bet is live and can only be closed by cashing out.

How many bets can I place in one Aviator round?

Two, each with its own stake and cashout target.
