Aviator: the crash game that started the category, made by Spribe
Aviator is a game, not a provider. It is made by Spribe OÜ, an Estonian company holding a UK Gambling Commission software licence. Directories list it as a supplier constantly, and that is wrong.
The studio
What Aviator is, and who makes it
Aviator is a single game, not a studio. It is made by Spribe OÜ, a private limited company registered in Estonia, registry code 14540763, at Kivila 5-118 in Tallinn. If you are looking for a provider to integrate, the provider is Spribe.
The company holds a UK Gambling Commission Gambling Software (Remote) licence, 057302-R-333085-003, active since 8 December 2020 — confirmed on the regulator’s own public register. A second licence type, Game Host (Casino) Remote, is listed as pending and should not be reported as active.
The mechanic: a round-based RNG crash game. A multiplier starts at 1.00x and climbs as a plane ascends. Everyone in the round shares the same multiplier. You stake before the round begins and cash out before the plane flies away, manually or on an auto-cashout setting. Miss it and the stake is gone. No reels, no paylines, no dealer — it is neither a slot nor a live casino product.
Aviator is widely credited with popularising the whole crash category and prompting other studios to build their own.
One thing a profile must not smooth over: the rights to the Aviator name are actively disputed in court. A separate Georgian company called Aviator LLC is in multi-jurisdiction litigation with Spribe. That is not a naming coincidence — it is live litigation, and we set out the dates below.
- Aviator is a game. The supplier is Spribe OÜ
- Entity: Spribe OÜ, Estonia, registry code 14540763
- UKGC: 057302-R-333085-003, active since 8 Dec 2020
- Second UKGC licence type: pending, not active
- Launched: 2018 per trade press; some sources say 2019
- Genre: RNG crash. Not a slot, not live casino
- Aviator LLC is a separate, litigating company — not Spribe
The games
How Aviator works
The mechanic is simple. What follows is what is actually documented versus what affiliate sites assert.
| Element | Released | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Round-based shared multiplier | 2018 | A multiplier climbs from 1.00x as a plane ascends. Every player in the round watches the same curve and it ends at a random point |
| Cash out before the end | — | Stake before the round starts, cash out manually or at a preset auto-cashout threshold. If the round ends first, the stake is lost |
| Live chat | — | Players in the same round can message each other — named in dated trade coverage as one of the features that drove the genre’s spread |
| Leaderboards | — | Round and session leaderboards, also named in that coverage |
| Auto-cashout | — | A preset multiplier at which the bet settles automatically |
| Dual bet | — | Two simultaneous stakes per round, each cashed out independently. Described widely on affiliate sites rather than confirmed in company documentation |
| Provably fair verification | — | A seed-and-hash verification scheme is described in detail across affiliate explainers. We could not confirm the specific implementation in Spribe’s own documentation, so we attribute it rather than state it |
Return percentages and detailed cryptographic specifications circulate on a large number of single-purpose affiliate domains. Those are marketing sites, not Spribe documentation or a testing-laboratory certificate, and we do not repeat their figures.
What makes it different
What to get right about Aviator
Three category errors and one legal situation that published profiles routinely mishandle.
It is not a provider
The most systematic error in this industry’s directories is listing Aviator as a supplier. It is one game. Spribe is the supplier, and Spribe makes other titles too. If you are building a supplier list, the row should say Spribe.
It is not a slot and not live
No reels, no paylines, no dealer, no video feed of a physical game. It is an RNG instant game in the crash sub-genre, and it belongs in its own lobby section.
The trademark fight is real
Aviator LLC, a Georgian company, is not a Spribe subsidiary and not a typo. The two are in active litigation across several jurisdictions with rulings going both ways. No profile should state that Spribe owns the name globally and without dispute.
Do not merge it with the lookalikes
JetX belongs to SmartSoft Gaming, Spaceman to a different studio again, Aviatrix to Kiverly Ltd, and Lucky Jet to another brand entirely. Same mechanic, different companies, different products.
Where it runs
Licensing and the trademark dispute
The confirmed credential is the UK Gambling Commission Gambling Software (Remote) licence 057302-R-333085-003, active since 8 December 2020, held by Spribe OÜ under account 57302. A Game Host (Casino) Remote licence type shows as pending.
No other jurisdiction’s licence number was independently confirmed. Marketing references to operating across 20+ regulated markets count markets served, not licences held, and the two should not be conflated.
On scale: a dated October 2023 retrospective reported the game live with over 2,000 operator brands, more than 10 million monthly active players and roughly 165,000 bets a minute at peak. Those are reported figures from one article, now around three years old, and we present them as such rather than as current data.
The trademark dispute is set out in the timeline below. If the Aviator brand matters to your market, it is worth knowing where the litigation currently stands before you build campaigns around the name.
- UKGC 057302-R-333085-003 — active, confirmed on the public register
- A second UKGC licence type is pending, not active
- Spribe OÜ, Estonia, registry code 14540763
- No other jurisdiction’s licence number independently confirmed

FAQ
Aviator — common questions
No. Aviator is a single crash game. The provider is Spribe OÜ, an Estonian company. Listing Aviator as a supplier is the most common error in this industry’s directories, and it is the reason this page exists in this form.
Spribe OÜ, registered in Estonia with registry code 14540763, holding UK Gambling Commission software licence 057302-R-333085-003, active since December 2020.
No. There are no reels and no paylines. It is an RNG crash game — a shared multiplier climbs and you cash out before the round ends. It is also not a live casino product: there is no dealer and no video feed of a physical game.
Trade press dates it to 2018. Some sources say 2019 and nothing authoritative settles it, so we give the reported year with the caveat rather than pick one.
A separate Georgian company, not a Spribe subsidiary and not a misspelling. The two are in active multi-jurisdiction litigation over rights to the Aviator name, with rulings going both ways since 2024. No profile should claim Spribe holds the name globally without dispute.
No. JetX is made by SmartSoft Gaming and Aviatrix by Kiverly Ltd. They share the crash mechanic and nothing else — different companies, different products.
A seed-and-hash verification scheme letting a player confirm a result was not altered after the bet. It is described in detail across affiliate sites; we could not confirm the specific implementation in Spribe’s own documentation, so we attribute the claim rather than state it.
