Aviator on an iPhone: the icon you make yourself, and what it can do
There is no Mzansibet app in the App Store, so on an iPhone you create the icon yourself in Safari. Once it is on the home screen, Aviator opens from its own tab in the games menu, Apple Pay covers deposits from R50, and a finished round can be checked from the game history. The Mzansibet app is a progressive web app, so the icon opens the smartphone site, not a separate download.
Making the icon in Safari
- Open the Mzansibet site in Safari.
- Tap Share.
- Scroll down to “Add to Home Screen”.
- Tap “Add”.
The app needs iOS 12.0 or higher and an iPhone 8 or newer. Nothing is installed from the App Store at any point, and the iPhone needs active data or a Wi-Fi connection every time you open the icon.
For Chrome instructions, see the Mzansibet Aviator Android guide.

Apple Pay in, a different route out
Apple Pay sits in the Mobile Pays group, and deposits run from R50 to R100 000. Open Quick Deposit, the yellow lightning icon, to find it. Payment methods carry no administrative fees and deposits clear in seconds. FICA verification is required before you can fund your account.
Money cannot be withdrawn to Apple Pay, so plan the exit before the first deposit. Instant EFT and OTT Voucher are the withdrawal routes with listed ranges, and both are given as up to 24 hours. A bank transfer can take several days.
The ranges do not line up. The smallest Apple Pay deposit is R50, while the smallest Instant EFT withdrawal is R100, twice that, and the smallest OTT Voucher withdrawal is R300, six times it. At the top end the Apple Pay deposit ceiling of R100 000 sits against an Instant EFT withdrawal ceiling of R1 000 000, ten times higher. Larger withdrawals can trigger a manual review and slow things down.
Checking a finished round in the history
Aviator by Spribe uses a provably fair design. A server seed hash is published before each round, your client seed is combined with it and hashed with SHA512, and the round can be verified in the game history.
The game is easy to read on a small screen: the multiplier rises as the plane climbs, you cash out before it flies away, and a round can crash at any time. The RTP of 97% is theoretical, and two bets can be placed at a time.
