David Natroshvili: "In three years Spribe will have 100 million players"

Casino Guru News had the opportunity to catch up with David Natroshvili, Founder and CEO of Spribe, who attended iGB London 2025 and met with the publication.

In the conversation with Casino Guru News, Natroshvili quickly outlined what sets the Spribe company apart, and teased an ambitious goal – of seeing the company cultivate an active player base of 100m people over the next three years.

This interview comes against the backdrop of an ongoing court battle in the United Kingdom, which Spribe has been winning so far, challenging Aviator LLC, a rival, of "copying" the company’s flagship crash-style game.

Natroshvili shared his experience with conferences, which he said are a cornerstone of doing business. Then he recounted how he started visiting conferences, with a business partner and an iPad, at a time he barely understood the iGaming industry at all.

He would walk up to people and say: "Hey, my name is David, have you seen this game?" and admitted flatly: "People thought I was crazy." Not everyone was happy to have David unannounced, with delegates pointing out that he had come without an appointment.

Some were skeptical of Aviator, Spribe’s flagship product that has become a global force to reckon with. Despite the early-day setbacks, though, David was confident that conferences were essential to Spribe’s success, and any business’s success, for that matter.

Natroshvili pointed out another interesting fact about Spribe – the assumption that the company created the "crash game genre," which is hardly true. What Spribe did, he argued, was to gamify the genre in a way that made it fun and improved the user experience.

People would assume that crash was a "failed product," but nothing could be farther from the truth, he said. He acknowledged that Aviator has had a breakaway success that may be difficult to replicate – this in the context of other games, such as Trader, that Spribe is also pushing forward.

"I don’t think anything can be as big as Aviator," Natroshvili joked. Natroshvili also used the opportunity to point out how much of the early doom-mongering about why Aviator would not cut it with audiences was unjustified.

"People would get bored, it is easy to complete – none of this happened," and added that the game is on a growth trajectory. This doesn’t scare Natroshvili, as there are 400,000 bets placed every minute across the Spribe network, which further attests to the company’s technological prowess.
