Crash casino games in Australia: the format, the prohibition, and what offshore play actually costs

A crash casino game looks like nothing else on the screen. The round begins, a multiplier climbs from 1.00x upward, and the only decision a player makes is when to cash out — before the line drops back to zero and the bet is lost. Every offshore site that lists this format is doing so in defiance of the Interactive Gambling Act 2001, and the ACMA has spent the last several years building an enforcement record against the operators behind them. That is the page in two sentences: a mechanic that runs in seconds, and a legal frame that treats it the same way it treats online pokies or roulette.

Current as of 7 November 2026, cross-checked against the Australian Communications and Media Authority’s published register of formal warnings and blocking requests.

What a crash casino game actually is

The format belongs to a small family of “instant” games that split a round into two phases. A bet is placed before the round begins. The round starts, a curve climbs on the screen, and that curve represents a multiplier of the original stake. The longer the curve climbs, the higher the multiplier. The catch is that the curve stops climbing at a moment chosen by the game — it “crashes” — and any stake still on the table at that moment is forfeit. A player who clicks “cash out” at 2.40x walks away with 2.40 times the bet; a player who waits half a second longer and the curve drops at 2.45x loses the whole stake.

The mechanic rewards timing and discipline, but it does not reward pattern-reading. Each round is an independent event. The multiplier at which the previous round crashed has no influence on where the next one crashes. The most common mistake a new player makes is treating the curve the way a roulette wheel feels — as something with memory — when it has none.

The format itself is not new. Dice-style games with a rising element have circulated for years under various names. The current wave dates from the launch of Spribe’s Aviator around 2018, which packaged the mechanic as a multiplayer game in which every player at a casino sees the same curve in the same round, and peer cash-outs become part of the spectacle. By January 2024, Aviator alone had grown to more than 12 million players a month, and by February 2025 Spribe was reporting the game was live at roughly 5,000 online casino brands and was handling up to 350,000 bets per minute at peak. The shape is now familiar enough that several studios have produced near-identical reskins, and a “crypto crash casino” typically means a site where the deposit and withdrawal happen in Bitcoin or another digital currency while the game running underneath is a near-copy of the Aviator template.

The reason the format travels under so many names is that there is almost nothing to copy beyond the curve. The maths is straightforward, the screen real estate is small, and the rounds are short, which lets a casino operator bolt a crash game on to an existing lobby without changing the back end. What changes from site to site is the multiplier cap the operator advertises and the bonus terms wrapped around the deposit. None of it changes the fact that the house retains a margin on every round.

How the rising multiplier is generated

There are two ways the curve is produced, and a player cannot tell from the lobby which one is running.

The first is the same engine that drives a standard online slot: a server-side random outcome decided at the moment the round begins, with the curve drawn on the client as a separate animation. The multiplier the player sees is a presentation of a number that was already fixed. The second is a “provably fair” system in which the operator publishes a cryptographic hash before the round and the player can verify, after the round, that the outcome was not altered mid-flight. Spribe offers a provably-fair mode of this kind to its casino operators. Both systems are legitimate random-number generators, and neither one can be influenced by the player, however long the multiplier appears to climb.

This is the single most important fact about the format. The curve does not know a player is watching. A 1.50x crash and a 12.00x crash are produced by the same machinery and decided by the same RNG. The number of players who cashed out before the crash, the size of their bets, and the size of the bets still on the table are all irrelevant to where the curve stops.

The paytable-style curve

Every crash casino game carries its own advertised multiplier curve. A 1.00x crash means everyone loses; a 100.00x ceiling means a player who holds for the full climb takes 100 times the stake. The distribution is heavily skewed toward small multipliers — most rounds crash below 2x — and the rare long climbs are what the marketing screenshots remember. The probability of a 100x round is roughly one in many thousands of rounds; a casino that quotes a “10000x max win” is not telling a player that any individual round will reach it.

The cap is also not the player’s realistic target. A round that climbs past 5x is unusual; past 10x it is rare. The sensible cash-out point for most players is well below the ceiling, and a player who is aiming at the ceiling is, in statistical terms, paying for the privilege of losing more rounds than they win.

Crypto-funded crash games

The phrase “crypto casino crash game” describes two slightly different things. The first is an ordinary crash game in which the deposit and withdrawal happen in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether, or another digital currency. The game itself is the same Aviator-shaped mechanic. The second is a crash game in which the betting happens in a crypto token issued by the casino, sometimes called a “house coin,” with the same mechanic underneath. Neither version changes the underlying probability. A Bitcoin-staked round and a Tether-staked round drawn from the same RNG return the same multiplier distribution.

What the crypto angle does change is the regulatory frame. From 11 June 2024, digital currency has been a banned payment method for licensed Australian online wagering, with penalties of up to $247,500 for operators who take it. Any site asking an Australian for a credit card or a crypto deposit is operating outside the Australian rules, regardless of what licence the site displays in its footer. The licence an offshore site advertises — Curaçao, Anjouan, Malta — does not make the site lawful in Australia, because the prohibition sits in Australian law, not in the operator’s jurisdiction.

This is the frame inside which every crash casino site listed in a search result for an Australian reader has to be read. The mechanic is the same everywhere. The legality is the same everywhere: it is prohibited.

The legal frame: prohibition under the Interactive Gambling Act 2001

Online casino gambling — and that phrase covers crash games, online pokies, table games, and live-dealer tables in exactly the same way — cannot be lawfully offered to a person in Australia. The Interactive Gambling Act 2001, strengthened by the Interactive Gambling Amendment Act 2017, makes it an offence to provide a “prohibited interactive gambling service,” which includes any online casino game, to a customer physically present in Australia. No state or territory issues a licence for this activity. What is licensable is wagering on races and sports placed before the event, lotteries, and keno, and the practical licensing body for most online and phone wagering services is the Northern Territory Racing and Wagering Commission — a body the ABC has described, in April 2026, as having no full-time staff and meeting once a month in Darwin while still regulating 52 of Australia’s online bookmakers, including Sportsbet, Bet365 and Ladbrokes, on tax grounds. The structure is widely seen as a relic.

The individual player is not prosecuted. The Interactive Gambling Act targets the provider. What the prohibition means in practice is that every offshore casino an Australian finds through a search engine is doing business in a country where it has no licence to do so. The operator is outside Australian consumer law, outside the Australian Financial Complaints Authority, and outside any recourse if a withdrawal is refused, a bonus term is rewritten, or an account is closed with a balance on it. The site can also be blocked by Australian internet service providers at the ACMA’s direction, with a balance still on the account. That has happened repeatedly. H2 Gambling Capital’s 2025 estimate puts annual Australian losses to illegal gambling sites at roughly A$3.9 billion, and shows the share of gambling going through legal channels falling from 74% in 2021 to 64%.

What the ACMA does

The Australian Communications and Media Authority enforces the Interactive Gambling Act. It investigates complaints, issues formal warnings to operators, and directs Australian internet service providers to block illegal services at the domain level. The register is published and granular.

By June 2026, the ACMA had asked Australian ISPs to block 1,751 illegal gambling and affiliate marketing websites since the first blocking request in November 2019. More than 230 unlicensed gambling services had left the Australian market since enforcement was strengthened in 2017. The June 2026 round alone added 12 sites: 7Signs, ChromaBet, Donbet, Duospin, Freshbet, Slots Gem, Jacks Club, Lucky Start, Pointsbetz.com, Spinrise, Vinyl Casino and Wildsino. The rate at which new domains appear has, if anything, accelerated: when a domain is blocked the operator often opens a new one within days, and the cycle continues.

The blocking regime is not the only tool. The ACMA also publishes formal warnings naming the company behind a brand. A formal warning is a public step; the ACMA’s website carries the operator name, the brand name, the date, and a statement of the alleged breach. Where the operator is registered in a jurisdiction where an Australian order has weight — or where the operator’s payment processors do — a formal warning can be followed by actual disruption. Where it has no weight, the warning is the visible record.

What an Australian player gets — and does not get — at an offshore crash casino

There is no Australian consumer protection on an offshore site. BetStop — the National Self-Exclusion Register, live since August 2023 — binds only Australian-licensed online and phone wagering services; an offshore casino is not connected to it. A self-exclusion entered at an offshore casino is, in practice, an account-level block on that one site. If the player opens a new account under a different email, or moves to a sister brand, the exclusion does not follow them.

The National Gambling Helpline at 1800 858 858 is free, 24/7, and the chat at Gambling Help Online is staffed by the same service. Both are funded independently of the offshore industry. A player who finds themselves chasing a crash-game multiplier back up after a bad round can reach the helpline in seconds. That is the one piece of consumer protection that does travel with the player, regardless of where the bet was placed.

How the format rewards — and punishes

The crash mechanic has a specific psychological profile, and a player who knows the profile handles it better than a player who treats the curve like a slot reel.

The average round is short — often five seconds or less from start to crash — which is one of the reasons the format has been so heavily marketed by crypto-funded operators. A punter who would not sit through a five-minute poker hand will sit through fifty crash rounds in the same period. The pace rewards continuous play, and continuous play is the environment in which the gambler’s fallacy does the most damage.

The gambler’s fallacy in this context is straightforward: a player who has just watched five short crashes convinces themselves that the next round is “due” a long climb, and raises the bet to take advantage. The next round crashes at 1.12x. The player raises again. The round after that climbs to 1.08x and crashes. None of this is the game responding to the player; the curve does not know a player is watching.

The format’s other distinctive feature is that the cash-out point is a per-round decision rather than a per-hand one. A poker player who loses a hand has time to stand up; a crash-game player who loses a round is already watching the next round begin. That asymmetry is the engine of most of the damage the format does.

A worked example of the cost of play

To put a number on what a session of crash-game play actually costs, the calculation below takes a concrete stake, a typical RTP, and a session length. Crash-game RTP for the Aviator template is generally reported in the high 96% band, and the calculation here assumes a 96% return to player — a typical figure rather than a worst case.

A player who bets A$1 per round, plays 200 rounds in a session, and cashes out at a flat 2.00x (a deliberately cautious strategy) is risking A$1 per round and either winning A$1 in profit or losing A$1 in stake. The expected loss across 200 rounds, at 96% RTP, is 4% of total turnover. The total amount put at risk across the session is A$200 (the A$1 stake × 200 rounds), so the expected loss is A$8. That is the session’s statistical cost: the player walks in with A$200, plays 200 rounds, and walks out with A$192 on average, before any cash-out discipline changes the picture.

The same calculation at A$5 per round and 200 rounds produces a turnover of A$1,000 and an expected loss of A$40. The percentage is identical; the absolute number is what the player feels.

The figure is an estimate. No individual session of 200 rounds will produce an A$8 loss to the dollar; the player will see swings of multiples of that. Over a long enough run of sessions, the average settles toward the percentage, which is why the percentage is the only number worth quoting.

Setting a loss limit before the first round

The most reliable rule for the format is the one the player should write down before opening the lobby: a fixed loss limit per session, set to an amount the player has already decided they can afford to lose, with a commitment to stop when the limit is reached regardless of where the multiplier is at that moment.

The mechanism matters. A session-loss limit expressed as a number (“I will stop at A$50 down”) works. A session-loss limit expressed as a feeling (“I’ll stop when I’m behind”) does not, because the feeling changes every round. The player who reaches a numerical limit while a multiplier is climbing to 4x and decides to ride it “just this once” has already broken the rule.

A separate stake-cap rule — a maximum per-round bet expressed as a percentage of the session bankroll — is the second protection. A player who bets no more than 1% of the session bankroll per round can survive the swings the format produces. A player who bets 10% of the session bankroll per round is one bad stretch of crashes from being done for the session.

Why a crypto-funded crash casino does not change the math

A player who funds the account in Bitcoin, Tether, or another digital currency sees the same curve and the same RNG. The deposit is, in accounting terms, more frictionless — there is no Australian bank statement line showing the transaction, which is one of the reasons crypto-funded offshore casinos have proliferated. The marketing pitch is that the player is “outside the system.” In practice the player is outside the protections of the system. The mathematics of the game has not changed.

The crash-game brands the ACMA has named

Every brand below has been the subject of a formal warning from the Australian Communications and Media Authority for offering prohibited interactive gambling services to Australian residents. The list is not a ranking, is not a recommendation, and is not a place to find a site to play. It is the public enforcement record. The page describes what each operator has been warned for, what licence claim the operator makes, and what the record actually shows.

A note that applies to every entry: no offshore site displaying a Curaçao, Anjouan, Kahnawake, or Malta licence is lawfully licensed to offer online casino games to an Australian resident. Australian law does not recognise those licences for this product. The footer graphic and the ACMA register are not in conflict; they are addressing different jurisdictions.

The Australian-licensed wagering product — pre-event sports and race wagering, lotteries, keno — is a different category and is regulated by the NTRWC and the relevant state and territory bodies. Crash games are not in that category.

RocketPlay

The ACMA issued a formal warning to Pulsup Ltd over Rocketplay.com.au in March 2026. A separate warning, to Dama N.V. covering Rocketplay along with five other brands, was issued in May 2022. The operator behind the Australian-facing URL is therefore not the same operator behind the international brand, which is itself a common pattern: the Australian-targeted front is a local company, and the international brand is run by an offshore parent.

RocketPlay does not publish Australian consumer-protection terms and holds no integration with BetStop. The site’s terms of service are written for an international audience and explicitly disclaim Australian residents in some configurations. The Australian-targeted URL is the URL the ACMA warned, and the warning is the record that matters.

Level Up Casino

The ACMA warned Dama N.V. over Level Up Casino in May 2022, alongside five other brands. The warning is one of the more visible entries on the register because it covers six brands at once, and Dama N.V. has appeared on the ACMA’s register more than once: the same operator was warned again in March 2025 over Woo Casino and in May 2025 over Spirit Casino.

The pattern — one operator, multiple brand shells, a fresh warning each time the ACMA catches up — is the standard offshore operating model. Level Up Casino is the May 2022 entry in that pattern. As a casino game platform it lists crash titles among its offerings; the page does not confirm or deny any specific subject support beyond what the operator’s own listings page states.

Woo Casino

Dama N.V. was warned over Woo Casino in March 2025. Woo Casino is one of the longest-running brands in the Dama N.V. stable. The site’s footer carries a Curaçao licence number; the ACMA register is the relevant Australian record.

A player who reached Woo Casino through a search result in Australia would have seen the site take Bitcoin, Tether, and other crypto deposits alongside conventional card payments. None of those payment routes is available to a licensed Australian wagering operator. Woo Casino is an offshore site operating outside Australian rules, and the March 2025 warning is the published enforcement step.

Spirit Casino

Dama N.V. was warned over Spirit Casino in May 2025. Spirit Casino is one of the newer brands in the Dama N.V. group and shares backend systems with the operator’s other sites, including Woo Casino. The May 2025 warning is the published enforcement step. The brand operates without local authorisation, lacks any connection to the National Self-Exclusion Register (BetStop), and operates outside Australian consumer protection requirements.

National Casino

The ACMA warned Consolutetish S.R.L. over National Casino in July 2025. National Casino is the senior brand of a stable that includes Bizzo Casino; both were named in the same warning round. As a casino game platform, National Casino is listed in industry directories as carrying crash titles among its offerings; the page does not state subject support beyond what those directories report.

Bizzo Casino

The ACMA warned Consolutetish S.R.L. over Bizzo Casino in July 2025 — the second formal warning tied to Bizzo Casino. The first was issued in 2022 to TechSolutions (CY) Group Limited and TechSolutions Group N.V., the previous operators of the brand. The brand has changed hands; the warning history has not.

A player who lands on Bizzo Casino today sees a different operating company than the one the 2022 warning named, and a different operating company than the one the 2025 warning named. The Australian prohibition applies to the service, not to the legal entity. This offshore site lacks any formal connection to BetStop and operates without valid Australian licensure for casino games.

Ignition Casino

The ACMA warned Bamboo Media over Ignition Casino in July 2025. Ignition Casino is one of the older offshore brands in this list, and the warning is the published enforcement step. The brand has historically targeted Australian and US audiences in parallel, and the marketing copy reflects both. As with the other entries, the Australian prohibition applies regardless of what licence the footer carries or what country the operating company is registered in.

Instant Casino

The ACMA warned EOD Code SRL over Instant Casino in February 2025. The brand is part of a smaller stable than some of the others on this list, and the warning is one of the more recent entries on the register. This site is unrecognised by Australian regulators, offers no integration with the National Self-Exclusion Register, and holds no local authorisation.

Jackbit

The ACMA warned Ryker B.V. over Jackbit and CasinOK in April 2026. Jackbit is one of the more crypto-forward brands on the list; the site accepts Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether and several other digital currencies and markets itself as a crypto casino first. That positioning is exactly the marketing pitch that the Australian credit card and digital currency ban, in force since 11 June 2024 for licensed wagering, was designed to push back against.

A player funding an account at Jackbit in Bitcoin from Australia is using a banned payment method for Australian-licensed wagering, and is doing so at a site that has no Australian wagering licence at all. The April 2026 warning is the published enforcement step.

Casino Intense

The ACMA warned Sterplay Holding Ltd over Casino Intense in April 2025. Casino Intense is among the smaller offshore brands on the list. The Australian-facing presence has been intermittent, and the brand has changed marketing positioning more than once since launch. It provides no local consumer protection guarantees, operates without a connection to BetStop, and carries no Australian licence.

Sky Crown

The ACMA issued a formal warning to Hollycorn N.V. over its Sky Crown and Blue Leo casino services in September 2022. Sky Crown is the older of the two brands; Blue Leo is the newer. Both run on the same backend and share the same operator.

Hollycorn N.V. is among the most visible operators in the offshore casino space, and the 2022 warning is one of the earlier entries on the register. As with every other brand on this list, the Australian prohibition applies to the service offered, and the site is not connected to BetStop.

Side-by-side: ACMA enforcement record

The table below summarises the ACMA’s published formal warnings over the brands discussed on this page. The columns are the brand, the ACMA action and the date, the operating company the ACMA named, and whether any source consulted in the research confirms the brand offers crash games in particular.

The “Subject support” column records whether any consulted source confirms that the specific brand lists crash games in its offering. Most rows carry no value in that column because no consulted source confirmed it; a row showing one of the sources named is a row where an industry directory or third-party listing reports the brand’s offering. The ACMA’s warnings are about prohibited interactive gambling services in general and do not turn on whether a specific game category is offered; the column is included because a player looking for a crash casino game has a particular use case and the table is the place to record it.

The other piece of information the table makes visible is how heavily Dama N.V. has featured. Three of the eleven brands — Level Up Casino, Woo Casino and Spirit Casino — all trace back to the same operator, and a fourth (RocketPlay’s earlier warning) involved Dama N.V. as well. One operator, multiple brands, repeated warnings.

How fast Australian sites get blocked

The ACMA’s blocking regime is the operational arm of the enforcement regime, and the rate at which sites are added is the rate at which the regulator is keeping up with the offshore industry’s domain turnover.

A useful way to read that rate is to look at the running total of blocked sites against the date of the first blocking request. The first blocking request was issued in November 2019. By June 2026, the running total had reached 1,751 blocked sites and affiliate marketing pages. Between November 2019 and June 2026 is roughly 79 months. Dividing 1,751 sites by 79 months gives an average blocking rate of approximately 22 sites per month across the life of the regime — but the rate has not been constant. The early years saw fewer blocks as the ACMA built the legal and operational infrastructure; recent years have seen more. June 2026 alone added 12 sites, a single-month figure not far below the lifetime average. The figure is an estimate from the published totals, and the visible trend is for the per-month rate to rise rather than fall.

The practical effect is that any individual offshore brand a player finds today is on borrowed time before the URL is added to the blocking list. The balance at that point is at the operator’s discretion, and the operator has no Australian obligation to return it.

Where the player protection actually sits

The single most useful thing a reader can take from the page is the asymmetry between what an Australian-licensed wagering site is required to provide and what an offshore casino site is required to provide.

A licensed Australian wagering site cannot take a credit card or a digital currency deposit since 11 June 2024, with operator penalties up to A$247,500 for taking one. A licensed site is bound by BetStop, so a self-exclusion applies across every Australian-licensed wagering brand the player could otherwise use. A licensed site is required to display the National Gambling Helpline and is subject to state and territory complaints processes. A licensed site pays tax in Australia and is supervised by a regulator that meets in person.

An offshore crash casino site accepts credit cards, crypto, and whatever else the operator wants to take. The site is not connected to BetStop. The site does not display an Australian complaints body. The site is supervised by a regulator that does not enforce Australian consumer law, on a licence that does not cover Australian customers. The site can be blocked, and a balance on it can be lost, and the player has no Australian recourse.

The interactive gambling reform that passed Parliament on 19 August 2026 — the Interactive Gambling Amendment (Gambling Reform) Bill 2026 — adds further advertising and inducement measures that commence on 1 January 2027. The Bill is law with a start date, not law in force. A reader looking at a crash casino site in the current period is looking at it under the pre-amendment frame, with the new measures pending.

What to do before opening a crash casino site

The first decision belongs to the player, and the decision is whether to use the site at all. The legal frame is unambiguous: online casino games are prohibited for an Australian resident, and the prohibition covers crash games exactly as it covers pokies. The rest of this section addresses the player who has already decided to proceed.

Set a session loss limit before opening the lobby. The limit is a fixed number, expressed as an Australian dollar amount, equal to an amount the player has already decided they can afford to lose. The commitment is to stop when the limit is reached, regardless of where the multiplier is at that moment. A limit that bends at the table is not a limit.

Set a stake cap as a percentage of the session bankroll. The cap is per round, and a typical value is 1% to 2% of the session bankroll. A cap of 10% or higher leaves the session one bad streak from being over before the player has registered what happened.

Set a session length. A 30-minute session cap is a useful default because it pre-commits the player to a stop time, and a stop time is harder to override than a stop-loss because the lobby clock is right there.

Decide in advance what to do when the multiplier climbs past the player’s typical cash-out point. The decision is either to cash out at the pre-committed point every round, or to use a partial cash-out (some sites support this) at the pre-committed point and let the rest ride. The decision is made before the round starts, not during it.

Reach the National Gambling Helpline at 1800 858 858, free and 24/7, or the chat at Gambling Help Online, before the session if the player is in any doubt about their control over the format. The helpline is funded independently of the offshore industry and the conversation is confidential. A player who needs to make the call after a session is a player who needed to make it before.

What the page is not for

A page about an offshore product the Australian regulator prohibits is a page about a product that should not be sold to the reader. The page is not a guide to finding one. The brand list is the ACMA’s enforcement record, and the comparison table is the way the page lets the reader see, at a glance, how often the same operator turns up under different brand names.

The page is also not a venue for the marketing vocabulary the offshore industry uses around the format. Words like “instant” and “next-generation” are the brand-side translation of “five-second rounds” and “random multiplier,” and the page does not repeat them. A reader who has reached this page has done so because the format looked interesting; the page’s job is to explain what the format actually does and what it actually costs, in the language an Australian reader uses, not in the language the marketing uses.

Frequently asked questions

Is it legal to play a crash casino game for real money in Australia?

No. Online casino games, including crash games, cannot be lawfully offered to a person in Australia under the Interactive Gambling Act 2001, as strengthened by the Interactive Gambling Amendment Act 2017. The prohibition targets the provider, not the individual player, but every offshore site offering crash games to Australians is doing so outside Australian law and outside Australian consumer protection.

How does the rising multiplier in a crash game actually work?

A round starts, a multiplier climbs from 1.00x, and the player must cash out before the curve randomly crashes. The crash point is decided by a server-side random outcome; the curve the player sees on screen is an animation of a number already chosen. The longer the player waits, the higher the potential multiplier, but the more rounds the player loses outright by waiting too long.

Is a crash game’s outcome decided before or during the multiplier’s rise?

Before. The crash point is decided by the same random-number generator that drives a standard online slot, at the moment the round begins. The animation is a presentation of a fixed result. Some operators also offer a provably-fair system in which a cryptographic hash published before the round lets the player verify the result afterwards, but the timing is the same: the outcome is decided before any cash-out is possible.

Do crypto casino crash games use a different random outcome system to a standard one?

No. The randomness is produced the same way — by a random-number generator running before the round begins. What changes is the payment rails: a crypto-funded casino accepts Bitcoin, Tether, or another digital currency as deposit and withdrawal. The mechanic underneath is a near-copy of the standard Aviator template, sometimes from a different studio, sometimes from Spribe itself.

What is a sensible way to set a loss limit before starting a crash game round?

Fix a session loss limit in Australian dollars to an amount the player has already decided they can afford to lose, and stop when the limit is reached regardless of where the multiplier is climbing at that moment. Pair it with a per-round stake cap of 1% to 2% of the session bankroll, and a session-length cap so the lobby clock decides the stop. The decisions are made before the first round, not during it.

Can a crash game round be cashed out at any point before it ends?

In most crash games, yes — the cash-out button is active from the moment the multiplier starts climbing until the moment the curve crashes. Some operators support a partial cash-out, in which the player takes a fixed profit on part of the stake and lets the rest ride. The player cannot cash out after the crash has happened, and a player who clicks cash out at the same instant the crash occurs may find their request processed either way depending on the server’s order of operations.
