Placing a Bet

· Updated 24 June 2026

Unlike a sports bet you place against a fixture, an Aviator bet is placed against the clock. The game runs on a fixed loop: a crash, a short countdown, then the next round, and your stake has to be in during that countdown for the plane to carry it. Miss the window and your bet simply queues for the round after.

The mechanics are quick once you’ve done it once. Set the amount, hit the green BET button, and watch it turn red so you know the stake is locked and cancellable. The second panel is where Aviator gets interesting: two bets in one round let you split risk, banking one early on the cash out and letting the other chase a bigger multiplier. If any of the buttons here are unfamiliar, the game interface walkthrough names every part of the screen first.

Aviator in play — a stake is set in a bet panel before the round starts, then the plane takes off and the multiplier begins to climb.

Place it on Scorebet, step by step

  1. 1
    Wait for between rounds

    After each crash there's a brief pause, usually 5 to 10 seconds, and the screen shows Waiting for next round with a countdown. That's your window to place a bet.

  2. 2
    Set your bet amount

    Use the − and + buttons to adjust the stake, tap a preset chip — R10, R20, R50 or R100 — or type a custom amount straight into the input field.

  3. 3
    Hit the green BET button

    With your amount set, press the large green BET button. The bet is queued for the next round and the button turns red to Cancel Bet, so you can still pull out before the round starts.

  4. 4
    Place a second bet (optional)

    Use the second panel to stake a different amount in the same round. This lets you hedge — for example cash out Panel 1 early for safety and let Panel 2 ride higher.

You can bet while a round is in progress — it queues automatically for the next one and the button shows Next Round to confirm it's locked in.

The minimum is R1.00 and the max is typically R7,500 per panel. Check your balance first and never stake more than your session budget.

Frequently asked

When can you place a bet on Aviator?

Between rounds, during a short countdown of roughly 5 to 10 seconds after each crash, when the screen shows 'Waiting for next round'. You can also tap BET while a round is in progress and it queues for the next round instead.

What is the minimum bet on Scorebet Aviator?

The minimum bet is R1.00 per panel. The maximum varies but is typically around R7,500 per panel, so always check your balance before staking. You have two panels, so you can run two bets in the same round.

If I queue a bet mid-round, when is my stake actually taken?

A bet placed while a round is in flight shows as Next Round and your balance isn't committed until that next round opens, so a queued bet sits as a cancellable instruction rather than a live stake. That gap matters: you can pull it during the countdown if you change your mind, but once the new round starts the stake is locked and only the cash-out is yours to control.

Why split a stake across both panels instead of placing one bigger bet?

One R100 bet gives you a single cash-out decision, whereas two R50 panels let you bank one early to recover most of the round's cost and ride the other for a bigger multiplier. It's not a hedge against the crash — both face the same curve — but it splits one all-or-nothing call into a safe leg and an aggressive leg, which is why most regulars use both panels.
