Bonuses and wagering

  • Wagering requirement — how many times a bonus must be bet before it can be withdrawn, e.g. 35x.
  • Max cashout — a cap on how much you can withdraw from bonus winnings.
  • Game weighting — how much each game type counts towards wagering; slots usually 100%, live tables far less.
  • Non-sticky bonus — your cash is played first, so the bonus and its conditions only apply once your own balance is gone.
  • No-deposit bonus — a small credit or free spins given without a deposit.

Games

  • RTP — return to player, the long-run theoretical payback percentage of a game.
  • Volatility — how streaky a slot is; high volatility means rarer but larger wins.
  • Provably fair — verifiable in-house game results based on server and client seeds.
  • Megaways — a mechanic with a variable number of paylines per spin.
  • Live dealer — real dealers streamed in real time.

Payments and accounts

  • KYC — know your customer identity verification.
  • Stablecoin — a crypto token pegged to a currency, e.g. USDT or USDC.
  • Network fee — the on-chain cost of moving coins, paid to miners or validators.
  • Lightning Network — a Bitcoin layer for instant, low-fee transfers.
  • Cashback — a share of net losses returned, often weekly.
