The basics
How crash works at crypto casinos
A multiplier starts at 1.00x and climbs until the round “crashes” at a random point. You cash out whenever you like: before the crash you win your bet times the multiplier, after it you lose the bet. Every round’s crash point is set before it starts, and you can verify it afterwards through provably fair.

Crash is almost always multiplayer: everyone plays the same round and sees when the others cash out. That’s a big part of why people love it. The whole game is one question: wait a bit longer, or take it now before it crashes? And the best moment in crash is cashing out right before it crashes: you feel like you timed it perfectly and took the max value.
The crash originals on our list all work the same way and take one bet per round. They differ mostly in design and speed. Crash is also a whole category at game providers, with titles like JetX, and some of those let you place two bets in the same round. This page compares the casinos’ own crash.

RTP
Does your cash-out target change crash RTP?
At a 99% game you reach 2x in 49.5% of rounds, and 2 × 49.5% = 99%. You reach 10x in 9.9% of rounds, and 10 × 9.9% = 99% again. Whatever target you choose, the long-run return is the same. Higher targets only mean rarer, bigger wins.

An example of 20 rounds at 99% RTP.
Chance = RTP ÷ multiplier, which is how most crash games are built. The table below shows the same numbers.
Your odds of reaching each multiplier
| Cash-out at | Chance at a 99% casino | Chance at Thunderpick (94.5%) | About 1 round in |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1.5x | 66% | 63% | 1.5 |
| 2x | 49.5% | 47.2% | 2 |
| 3x | 33% | 31.5% | 3 |
| 5x | 19.8% | 18.9% | 5 |
| 10x | 9.9% | 9.45% | 10 |
| 20x | 4.95% | 4.72% | 20 |
| 50x | 1.98% | 1.89% | 51 |
| 100x | 0.99% | 0.945% | 101 |
Chance = RTP ÷ multiplier, which is how most crash games are built. The second column is the lowest crash RTP on our list, and the last column is for 99%.
From the casino side
How players actually play crash
Martin, from inside a crypto casino
Most players cash out somewhere between 1.5x and 4x, and 2x to 3x is the most popular range. Every now and then people go hunting for a big one, 20x to 100x, for a bigger win.
My own style is usually one bet with a 2–4x cash-out. On provider crash games that allow two bets, I sometimes split them: a bigger bet with an early auto cash-out that roughly covers both, and a smaller one I let run for a bigger multiplier.
Splitting bets like that changes how a session feels, not the odds: each bet still returns the game’s RTP over time.
From the support chat
Lag, late cash-outs and auto cash-out
Martin, from inside a crypto casino
Some of the most common crash messages in support are “I clicked cash out but it didn’t register” and “it lagged and I couldn’t cash out.” Crash is the one game where your connection matters: if your internet or browser stalls at the wrong moment, the cash-out won’t go through.
That’s why I recommend always playing with an auto cash-out set. Even if you lose your connection, the game cashes out for you. If you never take more than 5x anyway, there’s no reason to play without an auto cash-out at around 5–7x.
One more thing players get caught on: a crash at exactly your target. A player once complained that his auto cash-out was set at 1.1x and the round crashed at exactly 1.1x. That didn’t pay: the round has to go past your cash-out. If a game’s rules don’t say how a tie is handled, assume it doesn’t pay.
Auto cash-out
- Set your usual target as auto cash-out
- Cash out by hand above it if you want
- If you lag, the auto cash-out still pays
The RTP gap
Why 95% matters more than it sounds
The gap shows up in how often your target lands. Same 2x cash-out, 100 rounds:
A couple of rounds per hundred doesn’t sound like much, but it’s there every hundred rounds you play, and crash rounds go fast.
Do it yourself
How to check crash RTP yourself
Martin, from inside a crypto casino
The RTP is usually shown in the game itself, in the info or fairness panel, or in the description below the game on the casino’s page. If you can’t find it, ask live chat: they’ll tell you where to look or give you the number.
There’s also a rough check from the round history, if the game shows past rounds. In most crash games, the house edge shows up as rounds that end at 1.00x, before anyone can cash out:
Rounds that crash at 1.00x ≈
2 in 100 at 99%5 in 100 at 96%6 in 100 at 94.5%

You need a big sample for this, hundreds of rounds at least, so treat it as a rough check, not proof. The number in the game’s info panel is the one to trust.
Myth vs fact
The whale myth and other crash myths
Martin, from inside a crypto casino
A common one: a high roller joins the round, it crashes early, and players decide the game crashed on purpose to take the whale’s money. Another: after a few rounds crash at or near 1.00x, people raise their bet and go for a big multiplier, because now a high one has to come.
“A whale joined, so the game crashed early to take his money.”
Each round’s crash point is fixed before anyone bets. Who’s in the round doesn’t change it.
“Three low crashes in a row, so a big one is due.”
Every round is independent. The odds of reaching 10x are the same after ten low rounds as after ten high ones.

FAQ
What is the RTP of crash at crypto casinos?
At most crypto casinos we review, crash pays 99%, a 1% house edge. BitStarz and Roobet pay 96%, Duelbits 95% and Thunderpick 94.5%.
Does cashing out later change the crash RTP?
No. Your chance of reaching a multiplier is the RTP divided by that multiplier, so cashing out at 1.5x or 100x returns the same over time. Higher targets just win less often.
What are the odds of hitting 2x in crash?
At a 99% casino, about 49.5% of rounds reach 2x. At 95%, about 47.5%. 10x lands in about 1 round in 10, and 100x in about 1 in 101.
What happens if my crash cash-out lags?
If your connection stalls, a manual cash-out may not go through. Setting an auto cash-out protects you: the game cashes out at your target even if you lose connection. The round has to go past your target for it to pay.
