Core Game Terms Every Player Should Know

These are the words you'll see most often in game lobbies and paytables. Each answer gives you a working definition — enough to make an informed call before you start a round.

Return to Player — the percentage of total wagers a game is built to pay back over millions of rounds. A 96% RTP means the game returns $96 theoretically per $100 wagered long-term.

The house edge is the mathematical advantage the platform holds on any game. It is the flip side of RTP game carries a 4% house edge built into every round

Volatility describes how often and how big a slot pays out. High volatility means fewer hits but larger wins. Low volatility delivers smaller, more frequent payouts across your session.

A wager or turnover requirement is the number of times you must play through a balance or promo amount before withdrawing it. A $50 balance with 10x turnover means $500 in total action required.

A jackpot is the highest prize available in a slot or prize-style game. Progressive jackpots grow with each bet placed; fixed jackpots pay a set amount regardless of how much is wagered.

A live dealer game streams a real human host dealing cards or spinning a wheel from a studio. Evolution and Pragmatic Play power most live tables — including Infinite Baccarat on tombolas.

Odds, Account, and Payment Terms Defined

Once you move past the basics, the terminology shifts toward how money moves and how betting markets are structured. These definitions cover the terms you'll run into on sportsbook lines, your account wallet, and the cashier page.

Over/under — also called a total — is a bet on whether combined game points finish above or below a number set by the sportsbook. An NFL over/under of 47.5 means you pick higher or lower.

A moneyline bet is a straight pick on who wins, with no point spread. Positive odds (e.g. +150) show the underdog; negative odds (e.g. -180) show the favorite. Payout scales with the number.

Rollover is the same concept as a turnover requirement — the total amount you need to wager before a promo balance becomes withdrawable. Check the promo details page for the exact multiplier.

An e-wallet is a digital payment account that holds funds independently of a bank. PayPal and Venmo are the e-wallets we support on tombolas for both deposits and withdrawals where eligible.

KYC stands for Know Your Customer — the identity verification process required before a withdrawal clears. You'll submit a government ID and sometimes proof of address through your account settings page.

A point spread is a handicap applied to level a matchup. Backing the favorite means they must win by more than the spread; backing the underdog means they can lose by less than it and still cover.

How These Terms Apply Inside Your tombolas Account

Knowing what a term means is step one. Seeing where it shows up in your actual account is what makes it useful. These questions connect the glossary to the screens you'll interact with most.

RTP is shown in the game's info panel when the provider exposes it — tap the 'i' icon before you start a round. Not every studio publishes it, but Pragmatic Play and PG Soft games typically do.

High-volatility titles like Big Sky Crash or Aviator can go quiet for stretches before paying a larger hit. If you prefer steadier action, lower-volatility table games like Infinite Baccarat keep rounds more consistent.

A pending KYC flag holds your withdrawal until your ID is confirmed. Submit your documents through account settings — once cleared, PayPal and Venmo payouts move through the standard processing window.

It tracks cumulative wager volume applied to a specific promo balance. Every qualifying bet adds to the counter. When it hits the required total, the balance unlocks for withdrawal via your chosen payment method.

Yes. Play+ is a supported payment method on tombolas. Your identity verification is tied to your account profile, not your payment method — you complete KYC once through account settings regardless of how you fund.

A same-game parlay combines multiple bet types — moneyline, spread, over/under, player props — from one NFL or NBA game into a single ticket. Each leg must hit for the parlay to pay out.
