Knowing the Language Changes How You Play

Misreading a term at the cashier or on a game screen costs real money. When you know what house edge actually means on a craps table versus a slot, you pick games differently. When you understand rollover, you use account credits the way they were designed to work. We put this glossary together so you can read any screen in our lobby

— from a Delta Blues Bonanza paytable to a PayPal withdrawal confirmation — without guessing. Players in Newark tell us the cashier section alone saves them multiple back-and-forths with support.

HELP AND CLARIFICATION

Ask Us When a Term Is Still Unclear

If a definition here doesn't match what you're seeing on screen — in a game paytable, on a withdrawal form, or next to a sportsbook line — reach out directly. Our support team can walk you through exactly what the term means in that specific context.

Core Terms Every Player Should Know

These six terms show up on nearly every game screen and account page. Read through them once and the rest of the lobby makes a lot more sense.

RTP stands for Return to Player. It's the percentage of total wagers a game pays back over time. A 96% RTP means the game returns $96 for every $100 wagered on average.

House edge is the casino's built-in mathematical advantage on any bet. A 1.4% house edge on a pass line craps bet means the house keeps $1.40 on average per $100 wagered.

Volatility describes how often and how much a slot pays out. High volatility means bigger but less frequent wins. Low volatility means smaller, more regular payouts across your session.

A wager or turnover requirement tells you how many times you must bet a credit amount before it can be withdrawn. Thirty times means a $10 credit requires $300 in total bets.

A jackpot is the highest prize available in a slot game. Progressive jackpots grow with each bet placed; fixed jackpots pay a set amount shown on the game's paytable.

A live dealer game streams a real human dealer from a studio directly to your screen. You place bets on your device while the dealer runs the table in real time, like Vegas Baccarat.

Odds, Payments, and Account Words Defined

Once you're past the basics, these are the terms that come up at the sportsbook, the cashier, and inside your account settings. Each definition is written for how we actually use the term on this platform.

Over/under, also called a total, is a bet on whether the combined score of a game lands above or below a number we set. Common across NFL and NBA markets on our sportsbook.

A point spread is a margin added to level a matchup. Betting the favorite means they must win by more than the spread; the underdog can lose by less than the spread and still cover.

Rollover is the same concept as turnover — the number of times you must wager a credit before withdrawal. We display your current rollover progress in your account wallet section.

An e-wallet is a digital account that holds funds for fast transfers. On this platform, PayPal and Venmo function as e-wallets — you link them once and use them for any deposit.

KYC means Know Your Customer. It's the identity verification step where you submit a government ID and confirm your address. We require this before processing your first withdrawal.

A moneyline bet is a straight pick on who wins with no spread involved. Odds are shown as a positive or negative number — for example, +150 means a $100 bet returns $150 profit.

How These Terms Apply Inside Our Platform

Definitions are one thing; knowing where they show up in your actual account flow is another. These questions cover how the terms in this glossary connect to real steps inside the lobby, cashier, and sportsbook.

RTP is shown inside the game info panel when the provider makes it available. Open the game, tap the menu icon, and look for paytable or game info. Not every provider exposes this figure.

After you submit a withdrawal to PayPal or Venmo, your account prompts you to upload a government-issued ID and a proof-of-address document. Approval unlocks the transfer on our end.

Your account wallet shows a progress bar when a rollover requirement is active. The number updates after each qualifying wager, so you can see exactly how far along you are.

Yes. A craps pass line bet carries a lower house edge than most slot games. The exact figure depends on the specific bet or game — check the paytable or game info panel for slots.

Play+ prepaid card works for deposits and, where supported, for withdrawals back to the same card. Load the card, link it to your account, and both directions are available in the cashier.

Most bets on slots and table games count toward turnover. Some game categories, like live dealer or specific sportsbook markets, may count at a different rate — your account wallet displays the active rules.
