Know the Language Before You Play

Spotting the difference between volatility and house edge can change which slot room you open first. Knowing what rollover means before you accept a promo keeps your Play+ balance moving the way you want. This glossary is arranged so you can jump straight to the term that stopped you — whether that's a crash-game multiplier mechanic, a point-spread definition, or a question

about what identity verification actually requires when you withdraw via PayPal. Sharper vocabulary means faster, more confident decisions at every stage of your account.

Casino Basics — Terms Every Player Should Know

These are the six terms that come up most often when you're browsing slots, joining a live dealer table, or asking our support team a question about a round's outcome.

RTP stands for Return to Player — the percentage of all bets a game pays back over millions of rounds. We display it only where the game provider or studio publishes that figure directly.

House edge is the mathematical advantage the game holds over you on every bet. A lower house edge — like in blackjack — means your money lasts longer on average than in high-edge games.

Volatility describes how a slot distributes its payouts. High-volatility slots like Gates of Olympus pay out less often but in larger amounts; low-volatility slots hit smaller wins more frequently.

A wager or turnover requirement sets how many times you must bet a promo amount before withdrawing it. For example, a 10x requirement on $20 means you need $200 in total bets placed first.

A jackpot is the prize-style feature cap available on certain slots — a pool that grows with bets or a fixed top prize. Check each game's paytable for the exact mechanic and prize structure.

Live dealer games are streamed in real time from a studio — think Evolution's live blackjack or Double Ball Roulette — with a human dealer running each round while you bet through your screen.

Sportsbook, Payment, and Account Vocabulary

These terms show up in the sportsbook, your account wallet, and during the verification process. Understanding them keeps your session moving without unnecessary holds or confusion.

A moneyline bet is a straight pick on who wins — no point spread involved. In NFL football, -150 means you bet $150 to win $100; +130 means a $100 bet returns $130 profit if you're right.

The point spread is a margin set by the sportsbook to level a matchup. Betting the favorite means they must win by more than the spread; backing the underdog means they can lose within it.

Over/under — also called the total — is a line set on the combined score of both teams. You bet whether the final combined score lands above or below that number, regardless of which team wins.

A same-game parlay combines multiple props or lines from one single game into one bet. All legs must hit to win, but the combined odds are significantly higher than any individual line on its own.

KYC stands for Know Your Customer — the identity verification step required before your first withdrawal. You'll upload a government-issued ID and confirm your address; this is standard on all US-facing accounts.

An e-wallet is a digital payment account — PayPal and Venmo are the ones we support. Deposits route from your e-wallet balance directly to your casino account without sharing your bank details each time.

How These Terms Apply Inside Your Account

Definitions are useful on their own, but here's how each concept actually works when you're logged in and making decisions on shadowbet.

Open the game detail screen — if the provider like Pragmatic Play or PG Soft publishes an RTP figure, it shows in the info panel. We don't display figures the studio hasn't confirmed publicly.

Log into your account, go to the Promotions section, and select the active offer. A progress bar shows your total wagered amount against the full requirement, updated after each completed bet.

After your KYC documents are confirmed, select PayPal in the cashier, enter the amount, and approve the transfer in your PayPal app. The funds route to the same PayPal account used for your deposit.

Yes — where Venmo is available in your state, you can deposit and withdraw using the same linked Venmo account. Eligibility depends on your state and the payment option appearing in your cashier.

A same-game parlay groups all legs under one game header in your slip — like combining an NFL player prop with the point spread from the same matchup. Standard parlays pull lines from separate games or events.

KYC is triggered when you request your first withdrawal. Upload a valid government-issued ID and a proof-of-address document through the account verification screen; processing time depends on document review queue.
