Rakeback returns a share of the house edge on every bet you place, win or lose. On a crash game with a 97% RTP the edge is 3% of each stake, so a 10% rakeback deal gives back 0.3% of everything you wager. It pays out steadily, which makes it perfect for high-volume crash players. Part of our crash game strategy guide.

A worked example

Example: you wager KSh 100,000 on crash in a month. The expected house edge on that is 3%, or KSh 3,000. A 10% rakeback returns KSh 300 of it; a 20% deal returns KSh 600. Rates differ by casino and VIP level, so check yours.

Best crash settings

Auto cash out Win chance KSh 100 bet returns
1.2x 80.8% KSh 120
1.5x 64.7% KSh 150
2x 48.5% KSh 200

Flat bets at 1.2x–1.5x keep the balance steady. Size stakes with the bankroll management guide.

Things to check first

  • Do crash games count 100% towards wagering?
  • Is there a maximum bet while the bonus is active?
  • How long do you have to finish?

Playing this plan in Kenya

Kenyan pilots run this plan the same way on Betika, SportPesa, Odibets or a partner casino, because the maths is identical everywhere. Top up with M-Pesa (steps in our Aviator M-Pesa guide), keep stakes in round shillings such as KSh 50, KSh 100 or KSh 200 so tracking is easy, and treat rain free bets as a bonus on top of your budget, not part of it. More local tips in the Betika Aviator guide.

Common mistakes

  • Changing the plan mid-session after a loss. Decide everything before the first round.
  • Raising stakes to win it back. Keep bets flat unless your system says otherwise.
  • Playing past your limits. When the win target or the stop point hits, the session is done.

Where to use it

See the Gamdom bonus for the current deal, compare all partner casinos, and test settings in the crash strategy simulator.

Pro tip: claim rakeback on a schedule; it is extra balance for your next session.
