The 20 terms worth knowing, including the ones invented to sell you something

Roughly half of the 21 terms below describe the game and half were invented by people selling predictions. Knowing which is which is most of the defence, so both sets are here with the difference marked.

Game terms

RTP
Return to player. 97% for Aviator, applied to total turnover.
House edge
The other 3%. What the game keeps, by design.
Multiplier
What your stake is multiplied by if you exit before the crash.
Cash out
Exiting a round. The only decision you make.
Auto cash out
Exiting automatically at a preset multiplier.
Crash or bust
The point the plane leaves and unexited stakes are lost.
Provably fair
The published-hash system letting you verify a round afterwards.
Server seed
The operator's secret number, hashed and published before the round.
Client seed
Numbers contributed by the first players into a round.
Turnover
Total staked across all rounds. The number the edge applies to.
Variance
How much results swing. Changed by your cash-out point, unlike return.

Operator terms

Wagering requirement
How many times a bonus must be staked before withdrawal.
Free bet
A stake given by the operator, worth about 97% of face before terms.
Rain
Free bets dropped into the in-game chat.
KYC
Identity verification. Required before payout in every licensed market we cover.
Min deposit
Operator-set floor, not set by the game.

Scam vocabulary

Predictor
An app claiming to forecast the crash point. Impossible; the round is hashed first.
Signal
A claimed prediction sold via Telegram or WhatsApp. Same impossibility.
Hack or mod APK
A modified app claiming to change outcomes. The outcome is server-side.
v4, v7, v16
Predictor version numbers. Marketing, so the same fraud can be re-listed.
Pattern
The claim that round history forecasts the next round. It does not; rounds are independent.
2.00×
Reaches 2.00×
48.5% of rounds
Roughly
5 in every 10 rounds
Expected return
97% of stake, at every multiplier

The last row is the part nobody advertises. Cashing out early or late changes how often you win, not what you get back over time. There is no multiplier that beats the 3% house edge, which is why no predictor can work.
