Stop loss and take profit in crash games are two numbers you set before you play: the loss that ends your session and the win that ends it. A good starting pair is a take profit of +20% and a stop loss of −30% of your session budget: on ₦50,000, stop at ₦60,000 or ₦35,000. They turn a random run of rounds into a session with a clear finish line on SportyBet, Bet9ja, BetKing or a partner crypto casino. Here’s how to set them, with a simulator check. Part of our Aviator game Nigeria guide.

Why limits matter in crash games

Rounds take seconds, so a session can run hundreds of rounds before you notice. Limits decide when you leave, which is the one thing the multiplier never decides for you. We ran flat bets at 2x through our simulator: 1,000 sessions of 100 rounds, a ₦50,000 bankroll and ₦1,000 bets. The median session finished on ₦48,000, the luckiest 10% on ₦60,000 or more and the coldest 10% on ₦36,000 or less. Not one session went bust. So +20% is a result about one session in ten reaches: a realistic, bankable target. More in our Aviator bankroll management guide.

Style Take profit Stop loss On ₦50,000
Calm (1.2x–1.5x) +10% −20% stop at ₦55,000 or ₦40,000
Balanced (2x) +20% −30% stop at ₦60,000 or ₦35,000
Big-win (10x) +50% −50% stop at ₦75,000 or ₦25,000

Set them in the game

In Aviator’s Auto Play settings, “Stop if cash increases by” is your take profit and “Stop if cash decreases by” is your stop loss. Stake Crash has the same idea as stop-on-profit and stop-on-loss. Step-by-step in our auto bet and auto cash out setup guide.

Session length works with your limits

Limits end bad and good runs early; a round cap ends the slow ones. Read how long should a crash session be to pair them.

Use them in Nigeria

Write your two numbers in naira before you deposit with OPay, PalmPay or a Paystack card. Then open Aviator game Nigeria and enter them in Auto Play.

Pro tip: when you hit take profit, withdraw part of it straight away; a banked win is the best win.
