RTP (Return to Player)
The percentage of total wagers a slot or casino game is programmed to return to players over a long period. A slot with 96% RTP theoretically returns ₱96 for every ₱100 wagered on average — the higher the RTP, the more player-friendly the game.
House Edge
The mathematical advantage the casino holds on every game. In baccarat, the house edge on the banker bet is about 1.06%. In slots, it's the inverse of the RTP. Understanding the house edge helps you choose games more wisely.
Asian Handicap
A form of football betting that eliminates the draw result by giving one team a head start or deficit in goals. Widely popular in Southeast Asia, including the Philippines, for PBA and international football markets.
Over-Under (Totals)
A sportsbook bet on whether the combined score of both teams in a game will be over or under a set number. For example, "Over 2.5 goals" in a football match means you win if three or more goals are scored.
Odds Formats
Betting odds come in three main formats: Decimal (e.g., 2.50 — multiply by stake for total return), Fractional (e.g., 3/2 — winnings relative to stake), and American (e.g., +150 / -130). Most PH platforms default to decimal format.
Wagering Requirement
Also called "rollover," this is the number of times you must bet a bonus before you can withdraw winnings. A 10x wagering requirement on a ₱500 bonus means you must place ₱5,000 in bets before cashing out.
Slot Volatility
Describes how often and how much a slot pays out. Low volatility = frequent small wins. High volatility = rare but larger wins. For example, Fortune Gems is medium volatility — ideal for balanced play sessions.
Progressive Jackpot
A jackpot that grows over time, pooling a small percentage of every bet placed across all players on the network. Progressive jackpots can reach millions of pesos — like the ones seen at jlpark's top JILI titles.
Live Dealer Casino
A casino format where real human dealers — visible via HD video stream — run games like baccarat, roulette, and blackjack in real time. Players join from any device and interact with the dealer via live chat.
Cashback
A promotion where the casino refunds a percentage of your net losses over a period. For example, a 10% weekly cashback means if you lost ₱1,000 that week, you receive ₱100 back into your account — no strings attached (check terms).
Free Spins
Bonus rounds awarded by the casino or triggered in-game that let you spin a slot without using your own credits. Winnings from free spins may be subject to wagering requirements before withdrawal.
Accumulator (Parlay)
A multi-bet that combines two or more selections into one wager. All selections must win for the bet to pay out, but the odds multiply — offering much bigger returns than single bets at higher risk.
