Our methodology

Why you should trust our rankings — and exactly how they are made. We are an affiliate site, we say so on every page, and our scores are produced independently of those commercial relationships. Here is the full process.

Who is behind this

AviatorScope is run by a small team of crash-game analysts, a payments specialist and a contributor with a background in provably-fair cryptography. Our work is published under named bylines (see our about page) so you know who wrote and fact-checked each piece. We are not affiliated with Spribe; “Aviator” is Spribe's product and trademark.

Why this site exists

Most “Aviator” content online does one of two harmful things: it softly endorses “predictors” to farm affiliate clicks, or it hosts the predictor scams outright. We built AviatorScope to be the opposite — a math-first, predictor-free resource that tells you the genuine odds, ships working tools to prove them, and ranks operators honestly. That is also, not coincidentally, what Google's people-first guidance rewards.

How we test and score

Every operator is assessed against weighted criteria. The weights reflect what actually matters to an Aviator player, not what pays us most:

CriterionWeightWhat we check
Genuine Spribe Aviator25%Whether the real Spribe title is present and verifiable (provider tag, provably-fair page), not a clone or a house Crash. Sites where we could not confirm it are flagged, not hidden.
Licence & safety20%Licence type and strength (UKGC/MGA > Curaçao > Anjouan > none), operator history, complaints record, KYC and fairness tooling.
Payout speed & banking20%Real withdrawal times, fees, limits, and the breadth of crypto and fiat methods.
Value & bonus honesty15%The realistic value of offers after wagering requirements — not the headline number. Staged-unlock and high-wagering bonuses are marked down relative to their marketing.
Game range10%Crash variety around Aviator, plus overall catalogue depth and studio count.
Mobile & UX10%Mobile performance, demo availability, and general usability.

Scores are out of 10. We re-check operators when terms change materially; the “last updated” date on each review reflects the most recent pass.

Our data sources

  • The operators' own sites and terms — bonuses, minimums, fees, accepted countries and provider listings, read at source.
  • Regulator and provider records — licence numbers and status (e.g. Curaçao, Anjouan), and Spribe's own licensing position.
  • Independent industry reporting — outlets such as iGaming Business and BOOM for the predictor-scam ecosystem and regulatory developments.
  • Hands-on use — account creation, deposit/withdrawal observations and gameplay where feasible.

Where a figure is volatile (newer brands' bonuses, region-specific minimums), we hedge or omit it rather than state a number we cannot stand behind. If we are uncertain, we say “verify on-site.”

Editorial independence & affiliate disclosure

We earn commission when some readers sign up to operators through our links (marked rel="sponsored nofollow"). This funds the site. It does not buy a ranking, a score, or softened criticism — you will find prominent caveats on our highest-converting listings, including the US geo-block on Stake and BC.Game's weaker Anjouan licence. We never link “predictors,” and the link redirects (/go/) are blocked from indexing in our robots file.

AI-assistance disclosure

We use AI tools to assist with drafting, summarising research and structuring pages. Every published page is reviewed, fact-checked and edited by a named human author against primary sources before it goes live. The interactive tools were written and verified by us; their maths is reproducible and documented on the tools page. AI does not set our rankings.

How we handle the maths and the tools

Our probability claims derive from the published ~97% RTP and the formula P = 0.97 ÷ X, with expected value shown to be −3% for every target (full derivation in our RTP guide). The simulator implements the standard crash distribution and converges to the RTP you set; the verifier uses the browser's Web Crypto API for SHA-256 and SHA-512. We document the known limitation that the public hash-to-multiplier model can differ slightly from Spribe's exact implementation, so a passing commitment check is the security-critical result.

Corrections

If you spot an error — a changed bonus, a stale licence detail — tell us and we will fix it and date the change. Accuracy outranks everything, including a tidy ranking.
