Crash gambling is legal in many countries, as long as the site holds a licence from the regulator where you live. As of 4 October 2026, 28 of the places on this map license online casino games, 9 restrict them, 3 are a grey area and 19 ban them.

• United Kingdom, Malta, Sweden, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Greece, Romania: crash games are legal at licensed sites.
• Ontario, Colombia and Peru: crash games such as Aviatrix are live at licensed sites. Aviatrix went live at licensed Ontario sites on 2 March 2026.
• Portugal: the regulator SRIJ set its own crash game rules, including a multiplier up to 100x and at least 80 percent paid back to players.
• Brazil: the federal licensed market started on 1 January 2025. Crash-style games must be certified and show their multipliers and payout tables.
• Malawi: a licensed operator added Aviator and JetX in August 2026.

CrashEdge found 19 countries that ban Aviator and other online casino games, including India, Australia, Indonesia, South Africa and France. In these countries no site may legally offer crash games to local players, even if the site holds a licence somewhere else.

• Asia: India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, Japan, South Korea and Kazakhstan.
• Europe: France, Russia and Turkey.
• Middle East: Saudi Arabia and Israel.
• Africa: South Africa and Ethiopia.
• Americas: Chile.
• Oceania: Australia.

CrashEdge found 9 places where online casino play, crash games included, is restricted: Germany, Poland, Finland, Norway, Canada outside Ontario and Alberta, the United States, Sri Lanka, Kenya and the United Arab Emirates. Restricted means online casino play is allowed only in some form, such as from one state operator, in some states, or inside a licensed site.

• Ireland: the Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland began licensing online betting on 1 July 2026 and plans casino licences from 2027. Many Irish players use casino sites licensed abroad.
• New Zealand: the Online Casino Gambling Act 2026 will license up to 15 online casinos. No licences had been issued by October 2026, and the government expects to start issuing them in 2027.
• Zambia: no Zambian law licenses online casinos, so the legal position of online casinos in Zambia is unclear. Online betting has been taxed since 1 January 2026.

No. Aviator and every other real-money online game have been banned in India since 1 May 2026, under the Promotion and Regulation of Online Gaming Act 2025. The government notified the rules on 22 April 2026, according to the Press Information Bureau. The Supreme Court is hearing challenges to the Act, but as of August 2026 no court had paused the ban.

Aviator is legal in Kenya only inside a licensed betting or casino site, because the Betting Control and Licensing Board (BCLB) banned standalone crash and Aviator apps on 25 March 2025. The same order told operators to have all their crash games audited.

• Licensed sites: online casino and crash games can be licensed in Kenya.
• No standalone apps: an “Aviator app” on its own is not allowed. The game must sit inside a licensed betting or casino site.
• New law: the Gambling Control Act 2025 was signed on 7 August 2025. It created the Gambling Regulatory Authority of Kenya.
• No full ban: in July 2025 the BCLB told Parliament it cannot ban Aviator outright.

The UK Gambling Commission suspended the licence of Aviator’s maker, Spribe, on 30 October 2025, and lifted the suspension on 30 March 2026. Aviator was still not live at UK-licensed sites in early April 2026, and we could not confirm whether it has returned since.

A strict national licence, such as one from the UK Gambling Commission, the Malta Gaming Authority, Sweden’s Spelinspektionen or Ontario’s AGCO, usually protects crash players best. Offshore licences from Curacao and Anjouan give players very little help if something goes wrong.

• Curacao: a new gambling law came into force in December 2024, and the Curacao Gaming Authority took over in July 2025. The Curacao Gaming Authority says plainly it does not settle individual player complaints.
• Anjouan: a licence from an island in the Comoros. The Comoros central bank has said it does not recognise these licences, and payment firms treat them with care.

⚠️ Important

Offshore play means no protected funds if the site goes bust, self-exclusion that covers only one site, crypto deposits nobody can reverse, and no regulator who will hear your complaint.

You can check a crash casino’s licence by finding the licence number at the bottom of the site and looking it up on the regulator’s own website. If the number does not show up there, or shows a different site name, do not deposit.

• 1. Scroll to the bottom of the site. Look for the regulator’s name and a licence number.
• 2. Go to the regulator’s own website. Type the address yourself. Do not trust a badge link on the casino site.
• 3. Search the public licence list. Check the company name, the licence number and the website address all match.
• 4. Check the licence covers your country. A licence from another country does not make the site legal where you live.
• 5. Look at the regulator’s warnings page. Many regulators list blocked or fake sites.
