Spribe
Invented the crash category as it exists today and turned it into the fastest growing format in the sector.
Studio profile
Its games share a common base: dual stakes, manual cash-out, auto cash-out, and results you can verify from client and server seeds.

The licences listed above are the ones the studio itself declares publicly. A developer holding a licence says nothing about the operator distributing its games: those are two separate authorisations, and the regulation page explains how to check the second one.
A studio that built one thing
Spribe was founded in Tbilisi in August 2018 by David Natroshvili, who is still chief executive. Aviator followed in 2019 and created a category that now has dozens of imitators. The catalogue since has stayed deliberately narrow: crash and instant titles, no slots, no live tables.
The house figure is 97% across most of the portfolio, which is unusual consistency — the studio prices its games the same way rather than varying the return by title. That is worth knowing when comparing crash providers, because a 97% standard is roughly two points better than typical slot territory and the difference compounds over the fast round times these games run at.
Verification is the product
Spribe publishes its provably fair formula rather than describing it in general terms: a server seed committed by hash before the round, combined with three client seeds drawn from players in that round, producing the crash point. iTech Labs, GLI and BMM Testlabs audit the implementation.
The three-seed structure is the part competitors have not copied. With a single client seed, one participant contributes all of the player-side entropy; with three, no individual party — including the operator — can steer the result. It is a narrow guarantee, and it is a real one.
It is also routinely oversold. Verification proves that a completed round was not tampered with. It does not lower the house edge, does not make outcomes predictable, and says nothing about the operator serving the game.
The trademark dispute over Aviator
Spribe OU is in continuing litigation with Aviator LLC, a Georgian company, over ownership of the Aviator trademark and aeroplane image.
Outcomes so far differ by jurisdiction. Georgian courts invalidated Spribe's trademarks, with the Court of Appeal ruling in February 2025 that they had been registered in bad faith and the Supreme Court dismissing Spribe's appeal that May. In the UK, Spribe secured an interim injunction in July 2025 preventing Aviator LLC from launching a rival crash game, and a further procedural ruling went its way in 2026; trial is expected around late 2026 or early 2027, with parallel proceedings at the EUIPO.
The dispute concerns branding, not game logic or certification. We record it because the name is contested, the case is live, and no outcome should be presented as settled while it is running.
Two games called Balloon
Spribe released Balloon in May 2024: a single-player press-and-hold game where the multiplier grows while you inflate. SmartSoft Gaming released a different game called Balloon in 2019. They are not versions of each other, they come from different studios, and lobbies list both under the same word.
The Balloon sheet here covers the SmartSoft title. If the game you have opened credits Spribe in its info panel, the figures on that sheet are not the ones that apply to you — another reminder that in this category the name on the tile identifies almost nothing.
What the licensing picture looks like
Industry sources describe Spribe's approvals differently: some list a Curaçao base, others name tier-one regulators including the MGA and UKGC. We have not been able to reconcile the full list against the registers themselves, so this sheet records what the studio declares and no more.
As with every studio here, the supplier's licence is not the one that protects you. Whether the operator serving Aviator is licensed for your jurisdiction is a separate question, answered on your regulator's register rather than in the game. In a category where cloned builds and unlicensed mirrors are common, that check does more work than anywhere else on this site.
Questions people actually ask about this studio
Who owns Spribe? It is privately held, founded and still run by David Natroshvili from Tbilisi.
Why is every Spribe game 97%? The studio prices its portfolio consistently. Individual operators may still integrate reduced variants.
Is Spribe Balloon the same as SmartSoft's Balloon? No. Different studios, different games, five years apart, same name.
Does provably fair mean a Spribe game is safe anywhere? No. It verifies the round. The operator's licence is a separate matter.
