Aviator ‘signal’ scams spread on social media, as over half of Ghanaian adults surveyed believe crash points can be predicted

• The survey was hosted on Ghana-Online-Betting.com between 1 and 14 October 2026 and was open to site visitors who chose to take part. No incentive was offered.
• The survey consisted of six multiple-choice questions and an optional free-text question.
• Respondents were asked to confirm they were aged 18 or over by entering their date of birth; no further identity or age verification was carried out.
• In total, 1,537 responses were received. 256 were excluded for one or more of the following reasons: IP address outside Ghana; suspected duplicate entry (matching IP address or cookie); incomplete responses; suspected automated (bot) responses; or spam or irrelevant free-text answers. Findings are based on the remaining 1,281 responses.
• Percentages are based on the full sample of 1,281 respondents.
• Respondents’ average age of 26 is calculated from the self-reported dates of birth.
• Results are unweighted. As respondents were visitors to a gambling portal, they are likely to be more familiar with Aviator and online betting than the general population. The findings are not presented as representative of all Ghanaian adults.
• Findings are based on respondents’ self-reported behaviours and attitudes and have not been independently verified.
• As this is a self-selected, non-probability sample, traditional margins of error do not apply.
• Percentages are rounded to the nearest whole number and may not total 100%. Multiple-response questions may total more than 100%.

Optional free text: Is there anything else you’d like to tell us about Aviator signals or prediction groups? Selected comments, some edited for typos/clarity.

1. All casino games are scams and fixed.
2. I paid, and it didn't work. I asked for refund, and they said they would give me money back if I invited 10 friends to the group.
3. My friend paid, but it didn’t work. He thinks he bought bad signals. I think it is fake, but others tell me it works.
4. They told me 100 cedis, and I would get 6 signals. If I didn’t win, I would get my money back. I didn’t pay yet.
5. A charley at college has shown me videos. They look real, but I am still not sure if I want to pay.
6. I have seen Aviator hack apps in some of my WhatsApp chats. I am curious to see if it works.
7. I didn’t want to pay. The group admin told me he would pay me five cedis for every person I added to the group who bought signals.
