Every term you encounter — from RTP on a PG Soft slot to KYC on your account page — is defined here in plain language. This glossary covers game mechanics, odds language, wallet and payment terms, and account conditions so you can move through the lobby and your transaction history with confidence.
These are the foundational terms you will see on game screens, lobby filters and studio descriptions across the bonus88ph catalogue. Each definition below reflects how the term is actually used inside the platform.
RTP stands for Return to Player. It is the percentage of total wagers a game is designed to pay back over many rounds. A higher RTP means more of the wagered amount cycles back to players statistically. Actual RTP figures are only shown where the game studio exposes them.
House edge is the mathematical advantage the game holds over you in the long run, expressed as a percentage. A 2% house edge means the platform retains roughly two units for every hundred wagered on average across all rounds played.
Volatility describes how often and how large a slot pays out. High-volatility slots like those from Habanero pay less frequently but tend to deliver larger prize amounts per hit. Low-volatility slots pay more often with smaller amounts.
A wager or turnover requirement is the number of times you must play through a credited amount before it can be withdrawn. The exact figure for any active condition is displayed in your account dashboard after login, not on a public page.
Jackpot refers to the highest prize a slot game can award, usually triggered by a rare symbol combination or a dedicated feature round. It is a game mechanic, not a scheduled event. Whether a title carries a jackpot feature is shown on the game screen itself.
A live dealer is a real person who runs a casino table — such as baccarat, roulette or blackjack — via a video stream. You place bets on-screen while the dealer handles physical cards or equipment. Classic Color Game Live is one example in our lobby.
These terms appear most often on the sportsbook side, in your wallet history and during account verification. Understanding them reduces friction when you are depositing through GrabPay, reading a transaction record or checking a sports market.
Asian handicap is a form of sports betting that removes the draw outcome by giving one side a fractional head start. It is common in basketball and football markets. The handicap value is set by the market and is shown on the bet slip before you confirm.
Over/under is a bet on whether a combined stat — usually total points in a PBA or NBA game — will finish above or below a line set by the market. You pick over or under; the final score determines the result, not which team wins.
Rollover is another word for the turnover requirement attached to a credited amount. Until the rollover count is met, the amount stays in your account but cannot be withdrawn. The current rollover status for any active condition is shown in your account dashboard.
An e-wallet is a digital account you use to fund your game wallet. On bonus88ph, supported e-wallets include GCash, Maya, GrabPay, Coins. ph and InstaPay. Each has its own transfer flow accessed through the deposit screen after login.
KYC stands for Know Your Customer. It is an identity verification process your account may require before a withdrawal is processed. The documents needed and the steps to submit them are shown on your account verification page, not in this glossary.
Decimal odds show the total return per unit staked, including your stake. Odds of 2. 50 on a basketball match mean a one-peso bet returns two pesos and fifty centavos if it wins. The sportsbook lets you toggle odds formats from your account settings.
Terms cluster around specific parts of the platform. Knowing which family a word belongs to tells you exactly where to look it up in real time — on a game screen, the bet slip, your wallet history or the account dashboard.
Terms like RTP, volatility, paylines, bonus round and jackpot live on the game screen or in the information panel each studio attaches to its title. CQ9 and PG Soft both expose these details inside the game window before you place your first bet.
Asian handicap, over/under, decimal odds and money line all appear on the sportsbook bet slip. When you tap a basketball or boxing market, the odds format and handicap value are already set. You read them directly on the slip before confirming the wager.
Deposit, withdrawal, transfer, pending, credited and balance are the terms you will see in your transaction history. Each GrabPay, InstaPay or Coins. ph movement generates its own line item with a reference number you can use when contacting support.
KYC, rollover, turnover, verification and eligible region all appear in your account dashboard or on condition detail screens. The current state of any active condition — including how much rollover remains — is shown after login, not on a public page.
Seeing a term in a definition is one thing; recognising it mid-session is another. When you open Bingo Bonanza and the screen shows a payout table, the values there are the game's prize structure — the studio sets them and the RTP figure, if published, sits in the information panel. When you load Balloon Fiesta Crash, the multiplier that rises before the round ends is the game's core mechanic, not a guaranteed return. On the sportsbook side, a PBA match might show a line like Magnolia -3. 5 — that is the Asian handicap in action, removing the possibility of a push by using a half-point. And when a GrabPay deposit lands in your game wallet, the transaction record in your account uses the word 'credited', confirming the balance is available. Recognising these words as they appear saves time and keeps your session on track.
The payout table inside Bingo Bonanza shows fixed prize amounts per pattern. These are the game's published prize structure. RTP, if the studio exposes it, is shown separately in the information panel within the same game window.
The rising multiplier in Balloon Fiesta Crash is a game mechanic. You cash out before the round ends to lock in that multiplier against your stake. The term 'volatility' applies here — the longer you hold, the higher the risk of losing the round entirely.
A basketball market with an Asian handicap line displays it directly on the bet slip. Tap the selection, read the handicap value and the decimal odds shown, then confirm. The slip updates in real time if the market moves before you submit.
After a GrabPay deposit completes, your account transaction history shows the status as 'credited'. That single word confirms the amount has moved from your e-wallet into your game wallet and is available to wager immediately.
A player who understands RTP and volatility picks a slot from Microgaming or Habanero that matches how they want to play — steady small returns or occasional large prize hits. A player who recognises rollover language reads their account dashboard accurately and knows exactly when a withdrawal becomes available. On the payments side, terms like InstaPay and credited are not interchangeable — one is the rail, the other is the account status. Getting them straight means fewer support contacts and faster action. This glossary is not a substitute for reading the specific terms on your account screen, but it gives you the vocabulary to do that reading clearly.
If a definition here does not match what you see on your account screen or on a game panel, our support team can clarify it in the context of your specific session or transaction.
Open the live chat widget from any page on bonus88ph. Describe the term you are seeing and where it appears — game screen, bet slip or account dashboard — and the agent will walk you through it.
Many term-related questions — rollover status, KYC progress, transaction labels — are answered by looking at your account dashboard after login. The current state of each condition is displayed there in real time.
Every GrabPay, Coins. ph or InstaPay movement generates a reference number in your transaction history. When contacting support about a payment term or a credited amount, quote that reference number for the fastest resolution.
These questions are about taking action on the features these terms describe — not just the definitions themselves.
Open the game from the lobby — titles from PG Soft, CQ9, Habanero and Microgaming each have an information panel inside the game window. If the studio publishes RTP, it appears there. We do not display RTP figures outside the game panel itself.
Log in and go to your account dashboard. Any active condition with a rollover requirement shows the remaining amount alongside the original figure. The dashboard updates in real time as qualifying bets are settled.
Once the status in your transaction history changes to 'credited', the amount is in your game wallet and available immediately. Select any game from the lobby — slots, live tables or crash games — and your balance is there to wager.
The verification steps and required documents are listed on your account verification page after login. Follow the instructions shown there exactly. If a step is unclear, contact live chat with your account reference for direct assistance.
Yes. The sportsbook settings in your account let you switch between decimal, fractional and American odds formats. The change applies across all open markets immediately, including PBA and NBA basketball lines and boxing event odds.
For live table games like Classic Color Game Live and Big Small Dice, payout ratios are shown on the game table itself, usually in the game rules panel. Check the rules tab inside the game before placing your first wager.
