BGaming Marks the First Anniversary of Viral Hit Aviamasters™ with Record-Breaking Metrics

Popular iGaming content provider BGaming celebrates the first anniversary of the release of its viral casual game, Aviamasters™. The game has broken multiple records over the last six months and has redefined what players can expect from aviation-inspired casual gaming.
Launched in July 2024, the game has proven to be a viral banger, demonstrating continued growth throughout the year. In the past six months, it has received over 500 million TikTok views, with over 200 new videos being posted daily on the platform. This incredible social media presence, combined with ad campaigns and affiliate strategies, has built a strong community of players around the game.
Beyond its viral popularity, Aviamasters™ distinguishes itself from the aviation-style crash games that have flooded the market in the last couple of years. Its unique physics-based mechanic shifts the focus from avoiding a crash to mastering a successful landing, making Aviamasters™ stand out as both intuitive and deeply engaging for players worldwide.
This unique approach has clearly resonated with players, with Aviamasters™ delivering excellent metrics. The game reported a 740% increase in new players over the course of five months, with a consistent week-on-week growth, including significant increases across Asia, Eastern Europe, and Latin America.
All of this success has also led to strong market demand, with top-tier casinos adapting the product to fit their own brand, including Shuffle’s “Happy Bird” and RainBet’s “Aviamasters™.
Aviamasters™ and BGaming’s full portfolio of products will be on display at the upcoming SBC Lisbon event in September. The BGaming team will be on hand to discuss the game’s success in person and explore the value that other games in its portfolio can deliver, learn more.
Kate Puteiko, CMO at BGaming, said: “When we launched Aviamasters™ a year ago, we could have only dreamed about how successful it has been. The game’s viral popularity and strategic value are clear. Not only has it helped establish BGaming as a leading voice in the casual gaming space, but it has also helped our partners attract millions of customers. We can’t wait to showcase the game, as well as many of our other gaming products, at SBC Lisbon this September.”
