A crash game fits in one sentence: a multiplier climbs, it can stop at any moment, and you have to cash out before it does. Everything else is probability, a house edge and a lot of psychology. This guide explains each piece with real numbers, no jargon, and no miracle method for sale.

Where to start

If crash games are new to you, start with our crash games page, then read the guide in the order below. Each page answers one question and points to the others when it helps.

  1. Maths first. Probability and RTP explain why the game always keeps a small share, however you play.
  2. Trust next. Provably fair, rigged sites and predictors: how a draw is proven, and how people get fooled.
  3. Your own play last. Cashing out, known strategies, bankroll: none of it changes your odds, but it changes a lot about what you lose and how it feels.

The context

Examples from a real game

The guide's worked examples use Pothole, SVRNG Play's token crash game, because we know its code inside out: every multiplier, every probability and the drawing method. It has three routes, with the same 97% RTP on each:

RouteChance to clear a kmKilometresKm 1Km 3Km 5Maximum
Country road90 %241.08×1.33×1.64×12.16×
City street80 %181.21×1.89×2.96×53.85×
Expressway62 %121.56×4.07×10.59×300.66×

The principles apply to any crash game; only the numbers change from one game to the next. To see what a playing rule does over thousands of rounds, try the crash game simulator.

What this guide will never promise

No page here will teach you to win for sure, because that's impossible: no strategy beats the house edge. What you can control is how much you stake, when you stop and what you play with. Real-money play is 18+ (19+ in most provinces), and if gaming stops being fun, our responsible gambling page lists the resources that help.

Frequently asked questions

Which page of the guide should I read first?

Probability, then RTP: those two explain why the game always keeps a share, and make the rest of the guide easier to follow.

Does the guide give a winning strategy?

No. No strategy beats the house edge. The guide explains what each method really changes (the rhythm of wins and losses) and what it doesn't.

Do the numbers apply to every crash game?

The principles do. The exact numbers come from Pothole; another game will have a different RTP and multipliers, which you should check in its rules.
