Spribe sets Aviator's default RTP at 97%, but that number isn't fixed — operators can configure it lower, and some run it anywhere between 94% and 96% without making that obvious anywhere on the page. I checked FastPay's in-game info panel directly before writing this, because it's the only reliable way to know which rate you're actually playing at. About 3% of rounds crash instantly at 1.00x, meaning you lose the full stake before the multiplier even has a chance to climb — worth knowing going in, since it catches new players off guard.
Worth a quick note on the regulatory backdrop: Spribe was suspended by the UKGC in October 2025, though that suspension doesn't affect Australian availability. FastPay operates under its Curacao licence (8048/JAZ), and Spribe holds a separate Curacao licence under the same jurisdiction — the AU market runs independently of what happens in the UK regulatory space.
How Aviator works
A plane takes off, a multiplier climbs from 1.00x, and you cash out whenever you want — before the plane "flies away" and the round busts. There's no fixed ceiling on how high the multiplier can climb in theory, but FastPay caps payouts at A$10,000 per bet, or A$20,000 if you're using the dual-bet system. That cap matters more the bigger your stake — on a A$0.10 bet you'd need an enormous multiplier to hit it, but on a A$100 bet it's a real ceiling worth factoring into your strategy.
Aviator runs multiplayer, with a live bet feed and chat showing what other players are cashing out at in real time. It's provably fair via SHA-512, so each round's outcome can be verified after the fact rather than just trusted. The social layer is a genuine part of the appeal for a lot of players — watching the live feed of other cashouts adds a layer of shared tension to each round that a solo pokie spin doesn't have, though it's worth remembering that watching someone else cash out at 20x tells you nothing about where the next round will land.
Dual-bet strategy — how it actually works
FastPay's Aviator lets you place two simultaneous bets on the same round. A common approach: cash out the first bet early and safe — say at 1.3x — locking in a small guaranteed return, then let the second bet ride for a higher target multiplier. On a A$20 total stake (A$10 each bet), a 1.3x early cashout returns A$13, and if the second bet catches a 5x before busting, that's another A$50 — a combined A$63 from a A$20 stake, versus an all-or-nothing single bet that either pays the full multiplier or returns zero.
The dual-bet approach doesn't change the underlying RTP or house edge — it's a stake-management technique, not an edge. What it does change is the variance of individual rounds: instead of every round resolving as either "full multiplier" or "total loss," a chunk of rounds resolve as a small guaranteed win plus a coin-flip on the second bet. For players who find the all-or-nothing nature of a single bet stressful, this smooths that out considerably, though it does mean committing double the stake per round if you want the same total exposure as a single bet.
Auto cashout — why it matters more than it seems
Auto cashout lets you set a target multiplier before the round starts, so the system cashes you out automatically the instant that multiplier is reached — no reaction time required. It's easy to overlook if you're used to manual cashout on other crash games, but Aviator's multiplier can climb quickly, and a fraction-of-a-second delay in clicking cash out manually is often the difference between a solid win and watching the plane fly away with nothing. Setting a target of, say, 2x on every round removes that hesitation entirely and turns your strategy into something consistent and repeatable rather than reaction-dependent.

Author's tip from Zoe McAllister, Pokies & Casino Review Writer: "Set auto cashout before every round, not just when you remember to. Manual cashout means reacting in real time to a climbing number, and it's easy to hesitate a fraction of a second too long and watch the plane fly away with your stake."
Reading the live feed without misreading it
Aviator's multiplayer format shows a live feed of other players' bets and cashouts as the round unfolds. It's easy to let that feed influence your own decision — seeing several players cash out early at 1.4x can feel like a signal to do the same, and watching someone hold out for 15x and win can feel like validation for waiting longer. Neither is actually informative about where the current round will land. Every player watching that feed is looking at the exact same unresolved multiplier you are, and their choices reflect their own risk tolerance, not any inside knowledge about the round's outcome.
Where the social layer is genuinely useful is atmosphere rather than strategy — for players who enjoy a shared, real-time element to their session, Aviator delivers that in a way a solo pokie spin simply doesn't. Just worth separating the entertainment value of the live feed from any belief that it can inform your cashout timing.
Setting a realistic session approach
Given the roughly 3% instant-bust rate and Aviator's fundamentally unpredictable multiplier curve, treating each round as an independent event rather than looking for patterns in the live feed is the more grounded way to approach a session. A A$100 session at A$2 per round gives roughly 50 rounds — enough to see a reasonable mix of outcomes, but not so many that a run of bad luck early on forces you to chase losses to make it back.
Combining a modest auto cashout target — 1.5x to 2x, for example — with the dual-bet approach described above is a reasonable way to keep a session going without either over-exposing on a single all-or-nothing bet or under-using the tools Aviator actually gives you.
Even a small instant-bust rate adds up over a long session, so budget accordingly rather than expecting every round to give you time to react.
