Safety checks before you pay
- The payee name should be the casino or its payment processor, never a person.
- Never share your UPI PIN or OTP with anyone. No genuine support team needs them.
- Ignore “agent” top-ups and “withdrawal fees” requested over WhatsApp or Telegram.
Example in rupees
With a ₹5,000 session bankroll and ₹100 bets (2%), cashing out at 1.50x, you win about 65% of rounds (₹50 profit each). See bankroll management in rupees for a full plan, and Aviator in India for the odds.

Frequently asked questions
Can I deposit for Aviator with UPI?
Yes, at casinos that offer UPI in the cashier. Pay through the casino's own checkout and never to a personal UPI ID.
How fast are UPI deposits?
UPI payments usually confirm within seconds. Any delay normally comes from the casino's own checks. Minimums, maximums and fees depend on the casino.
Someone asked me to pay a personal UPI ID to top up my account. Is that safe?
No. Payments to personal UPI IDs or 'agents' are a common scam and are almost impossible to recover.
Is it legal to play crash games in India?
