Verdict first: exactly one Aviamasters exists — the BGaming title served inside licensed operators' catalogues, with a mechanics set that has no manual cash-out and a 97% RTP. Everything else that launches the game in your browser or asks for an APK is a forgery of varying temperature: a marketing copycat with invented mechanics at one end, prediction apps selling the unownable at the other. Below is what our research actually surfaced, plus four checks that separate the original in about a minute.

Who is behind the genuine article

The anchor to work from is the developer. The original belongs to BGaming — a Maltese studio running under supply licence MGA/B2B/785/2020 with certifications by BMM Testlabs and iTech Labs; who makes the game is its own piece, as we covered in the studio review. Note the detail that unravels most fakes on sight: the studio never takes bets itself. A genuine Aviamasters site has nothing to bill you. Any "official game website" offering a deposit button is by definition somebody's wrapper, not BGaming.

The clone with non-existent mechanics

The largest exhibit is a marketing site posing as the project's home. Its game page promises a Cash Out you can click "at any moment", claiming winnings get locked in with a single click — the clone's own phrasing is preserved as the closing quote of this page.

The official design contradicts that constructively: in Aviamasters a round plays out to the carrier landing or the water crash, and the payout is credited automatically against the accumulated Counter Balance. A mid-flight click cannot exist — the clone is describing a game that no one ever built.

The mismatches stack up from there. The same site claims 98% RTP against the official 97. It adds "blockchain-based Provably Fair", a claim the studio's own materials do not carry. It signs itself with a London Canary Wharf address, while the developer sits in Malta. And it advertises multipliers "from 1x to over 100x" against the original's x250 top and €250,000 cap. In community discussion on Bitcointalk, users recorded browser-threat warnings attached to the site's links. The payment list — cards, Bitcoin, USDT — reads like a deposit-collection counter, not a game product.

Check	The clone	The original
Cash Out	a button working at any moment	none — automatic payout on landing
RTP	98 percent	97 percent
Provably fair	blockchain-based	absent from the official materials
Address	London Canary Wharf	Malta
Multiplier top	from 1x to over 100x	x250 under the €250,000 cap

The version family, and what imitates it

The real game has a genealogy the clones love to mimic. A Christmas edition, Aviamasters X-mas, landed in December 2025: Santa in a sleigh with ice blocks instead of rockets, same underlying math. In March 2026 the sequel joined it — island map, booster set, x1000 cap. A fuller timeline sits in the piece on everything about the Aviamasters 2 family, with official dates for every release. The forgery pattern across that timeline never changes: borrow the family name, bolt on alien mechanics, staple a "withdraw anytime" promise at the end.

The sequel gets forged in its own wave: alien mechanics wearing the familiar name of part two. The check is always the official card — the figures, the boosters, the landing bonus; the comparison of fake sequel claims against the real sequel covers that ground.

Operator-branded versions: neither fake, nor the original

One category deserves its own shelf, because it is not a scam. After the viral take-off, some venues shipped branded adaptations of the mechanic under their own names — BGaming publicly mentioned "Happy Bird" at Shuffle and a version at RainBet during the anniversary coverage. These are not stolen-content knockoffs: the mechanic is recognisably the same, published under different brands. Treating them as a trust question about the specific operator is the honest frame; demanding they "be the original" misses the point. Our standing check still applies — licence in the footer, provider named in the lobby.

The practical difference between the categories is where the truth lives. With a fake, the truth belongs to the original by default: mechanics cannot lie, and five minutes against the official card lays the forgery bare. With a branded adaptation, the operator is the subject — its licence, its payment rails, its withdrawal terms. The rule bridging both categories stays the same: documents first, interface impressions second.

The knockoff economy: predictors and APKs

The second counterfeit stream sells not the game but the promise of beating it. Predictor apps under the Aviamasters name are sold through paid "activation codes" or deposits placed through referral links — the economics, including malicious-build counts in an industry tracker, belong to the piece on predictor scams. The original's construction leaves a predictor nothing to grip: no manual exit exists, the finishing point is not published to third-party apps, and accuracy percentages dissolve the moment you meet the round's design. APK builds of a "mobile version" are kin to the same schemes — the real game opens in the operator's browser, full stop.

Why does this economy persist? Because the seller's income arrives at your first deposit and does not depend on what happens after: whether the predictor works is irrelevant to his payout. Industry trackers also flag malicious builds inside such "apps" — access to a phone is worth more than a subscription to imaginary signals. Losing an activation fee is the benign outcome; carrying an APK on the device is the ordinary one.

Four checks for the original

The audit takes a minute and no technical background.

Provider. The lobby's game card names BGaming explicitly, with demo access through the developer's network.
Mechanics. Landing plus automatic payout, no Cash Out button. Any "withdraw at any moment" marks a forgery.
Figures. RTP 97% and a x250 top with the €250,000 cap. A "98%" claim or "x1000 in the first game" belongs to somebody else's product.
Jurisdiction. Deposits are taken not by a game website but by a licensed operator, with the licence number in the footer and a working registry; the legal picture is its own breakdown.

Keep the order of that list: provider before design, mechanics before promises, jurisdiction before bonuses. Near-miss names — lookalike brands and stores games — fall under the same rule: if the name spells almost like Aviamasters but nobody says BGaming, keep walking and re-read the address bar.

What to remember

Clones survive on one perceptual error: the belief that an "official game website" exists and takes bets. It does not exist and does not. There is a studio with papers and a demo, there are licensed operators, and there is a long row of wrappers selling what is missing. Run the four checks above and the flashy sites with "guaranteed payouts" fall away on their own, no further argument needed.
