Understand the Language Before You Play

Knowing what a term actually means changes how you read a game screen, a bonus offer, or a betting line. When you see 'house edge' on a blackjack table or 'rollover requirement' on a promo, those aren't fine-print distractions — they're the numbers that shape your session. This glossary covers the vocabulary that shows up in our lobby, our cashier, and our

sportsbook markets, so you can make sharper decisions from the moment you fund your account with PayPal, Venmo, or Play+.

Ask Us When a Term Is Unclear

If a term on a game screen, a bonus page, or your cashier doesn't match what you've read here, our support channels are the quickest path to a straight answer.

Account Help Center

The help section inside your account covers payment definitions, game mechanics, and how RTP figures are displayed where game providers make that data available.

Essential Game Terms Defined

These are the foundational terms that appear across slots, table games, and live dealer rooms. Learn them once and they apply everywhere in the lobby.

RTP is the percentage of all wagered money a slot or table game pays back over a large number of rounds. A 96% RTP means $96 returned per $100 wagered, theoretically, over time.

House edge is the mathematical advantage the platform holds on a game. A 2% house edge means the game retains, on average, $2 for every $100 staked across all players over time.

Volatility describes how often and how big a game pays out. High-volatility slots hit less often but award larger amounts; low-volatility games pay out smaller wins more frequently.

A wager is a single bet placed on a game or sporting event. Turnover refers to the total dollar amount you've staked across multiple bets, often tracked for bonus qualification purposes.

A jackpot is the highest prize tier available in a slot. Progressive jackpots grow with each wager placed; fixed jackpots pay a set amount whenever the qualifying symbols land on the reels.

A live dealer game streams a real human dealer from a studio — handling cards, spinning roulette wheels, or managing baccarat shoes — while you place bets from your device in real time.

Betting Lines, Payments, and Account Vocabulary

These terms show up in the sportsbook, the cashier, and your account settings. Understanding them helps you move through NFL lines, withdrawal requests, and identity checks without confusion.

A moneyline bet is a straight pick on which team wins, with no point spread. Odds like -150 or +130 show how much you risk or profit relative to $100 on each side of the matchup.

Over/under is a bet on whether the combined score of both teams will be above or below a number the sportsbook sets. It applies to NFL games, NBA totals, MLB run lines, and more.

A rollover is the number of times you must wager a bonus amount before withdrawing associated winnings. A $50 bonus with a 5x rollover means you need to place $250 in qualifying bets first.

An e-wallet is a digital payment account — PayPal and Venmo are e-wallets — that lets you fund your casino balance without entering a bank card number on the cashier page each time.

KYC is the identity verification process required before a withdrawal can clear. You submit a government-issued ID and sometimes a proof of address; our team reviews documents through your account portal.

Play+ is a prepaid card account linked to your casino wallet. You load it through the cashier, use it for deposits and withdrawals, and access funds through online transfers or a physical card at ATMs.

How These Definitions Apply in the Lobby

Knowing a term is step one — knowing where it shows up in your account is what makes it useful. These questions tie the glossary to real actions you'll take on cardcrush.

RTP is shown only where the game provider exposes it. Open the game's info panel — usually a small 'i' icon — and look for the stated return percentage if the studio has published it.

If your session budget is smaller, low-volatility slots like those from Pragmatic Play's classic range stretch playtime further. High-volatility titles, like Gates of Olympus, suit sessions where you're aiming for a bigger single hit.

Verification is triggered when you request your first withdrawal. Upload your ID through the account settings page; once our team clears the documents, the withdrawal moves to the payment stage.

The rollover clock starts when a bonus is activated, not when you deposit. Wagers on eligible games count toward the total; check the bonus terms in your account for which game categories qualify.

Where Venmo is available in your state, you can use it in both directions through the cashier. Withdrawal timing depends on verification status; cleared accounts move funds back to your Venmo wallet directly.

A point spread is a margin assigned to level a matchup — the favorite gives points, the underdog receives them. In a same-game parlay, the spread leg combines with player props or a total in one combined bet slip.
