Live / Sports
From RTP and volatility to KYC and rollover, the 888straz glossary puts plain-language definitions in one place so you can browse the lobby, read the account screens and understand what each label actually means. Whether you are checking your Rocket wallet balance or deciding between a slot and a live table, knowing these terms makes every choice clearer.
These are the terms you encounter most often when you open a slot, sit at a live table or check a game result. Each definition below reflects how the term is used inside the 888straz lobby — not a textbook version.
RTP is the percentage of all wagers a game is designed to pay back over a very large number of rounds. It is a long-run statistical measure, not a round-by-round promise. Where a studio such as Microgaming or CQ9 publishes RTP for a specific title, that figure appears on the game information panel inside the lobby.
House edge is the mathematical advantage a game holds over the player across all bets placed. It is the inverse of RTP carries roughly a 4% house edge.
Volatility describes how a slot pays out — high volatility means larger prizes paid out less often; low volatility means smaller, more frequent wins. Studios like Bigtime Gaming and PlayStar each design their titles with a specific volatility profile, visible in the game description panel before you start.
A wager is the amount you stake on a single round or bet. Turnover is the total of all wagers placed over a period. Both figures appear in your account transaction history, letting you track how your wallet balance has moved across sessions on any device.
A jackpot is a game's top prize, triggered by specific reel combinations or bonus round outcomes. The size and trigger conditions are set entirely by the studio — 888straz does not modify those rules. Where a title carries a jackpot, the amount is shown on the game tile in the lobby.
A live dealer game streams a real human dealer from a studio to your screen in real time. You place bets through the interface while watching the dealer handle cards or the wheel. Titles from studios in our catalogue that carry live dealer formats are filtered under the Live Casino category in the lobby.
Once you move beyond individual games and into the sportsbook, your wallet settings or the account verification flow, a second set of terms becomes important. These definitions cover the language you see on bet slips, in deposit screens and in account prompts.
Asian handicap removes the draw outcome from a football or cricket match by giving one side a virtual head start. The handicap line is set before the match; your bet settles against that adjusted result. It is common in BPL and international cricket markets on the 888straz sportsbook.
Over/under is a bet on whether a measured total — runs in a cricket innings, goals in a match — will be above or below a line the sportsbook sets. You do not pick a winner; you predict the volume of scoring. The line and current odds are shown on the bet slip before you confirm.
Rollover is the number of times you must wager a specific amount before a qualifying balance can be withdrawn. The exact rollover figure for any active condition on your account is shown in your account dashboard after login — check there rather than relying on a remembered number.
An e-wallet is a digital account that stores funds for online transactions. On 888straz, Rocket and Upay are treated as e-wallet deposit and withdrawal routes alongside Bank Transfer. Each has its own minimum and maximum shown on the deposit screen when you select the method.
KYC is the identity verification process your account must pass before certain withdrawals or account actions are available. You upload the documents listed in the verification section of your account settings; the status updates there once the check is complete. No documents are required at registration itself.
Odds format determines how a potential return is displayed — decimal odds show your total return per unit staked, while fractional odds show profit only. You can switch the display format in your sportsbook preferences without changing the underlying bet value.
Knowing a definition is useful; seeing where the term appears on a real screen makes it actionable. When you open Slot SuperSpin from the CQ9 section of the lobby, the game tile shows its volatility rating before you start — that is the exact term from the glossary applied to a live choice.
Before you open Slot SuperSpin or any CQ9 slot, the lobby card shows the volatility indicator. High means bigger swings; low means smaller, more regular outcomes. This matches the glossary definition exactly.
Select any Microgaming title such as Roulette DiamondSpin and tap the info icon. Where the studio publishes RTP, the figure appears there. We display only what the studio provides — no figures are added by 888straz.
Open a BPL or international cricket market on the sportsbook. The handicap line sits beside the decimal odds. Tapping it adds it to your bet slip with the adjusted line pre-filled and the return calculated automatically.
Log in and open your account dashboard. Any rollover condition linked to your current balance is shown as a progress figure there — the amount wagered versus the amount required before withdrawal is available.
The glossary covers four distinct areas of the platform. Each term family lives in a different part of the lobby or account flow, so knowing which group a term belongs to helps you find the relevant screen quickly.
Terms like RTP, volatility, house edge and bonus round belong to individual game titles. You find them in the game info panel on each lobby card — open any slot from Bigtime Gaming or PlayStar and the panel is one tap away before the first wager.
Asian handicap, over/under, decimal odds and accumulator appear on bet slips and market pages in the sportsbook. Cricket markets — BPL, international Tests and T20s — use these labels consistently across every match listing in the sports section.
Deposit, withdrawal, e-wallet, Bank Transfer, Rocket and Upay are the terms you see in the cashier section of your account. Each payment route shows its own minimum, maximum and any fee directly on the selection screen — no separate page required.
Rollover, turnover, qualifying wager and eligibility period are the terms attached to any active balance condition in your account dashboard. The current state of each condition is shown in your dashboard after login — the numbers update as you wager.
Understanding a small set of terms changes how you use the platform. Knowing volatility, you can pick a slot that fits how long you plan to play — a high-volatility title like those found in the Bigtime Gaming catalogue suits a longer session with a larger starting balance, while a low-volatility option is better for short windows.
If a term on a game screen, a bet slip or your account dashboard does not match what you expect, the 888straz support team can clarify it directly. Reach the team through any of the channels below — they cover account questions, wallet queries and lobby navigation in plain language.
Open the chat icon from any page in the lobby or your account section. The team can walk you through what a specific label on your screen means — useful when an account prompt references a term like rollover or KYC status that you want confirmed in real time.
For detailed questions — such as how a turnover figure is calculated for a specific account condition or which documents satisfy the KYC check — email support gives you a written record of the answer you can refer back to later.
Many term-related questions answer themselves once you log in. Your dashboard shows live rollover progress, payment history with Rocket or Upay labels, and KYC status in plain text. Check there first before contacting the team — the information updates in real time.
These questions are about how the terms in this glossary connect to specific actions on the platform — not definitions, but practical steps you take when a term appears on your screen.
Open the game tile for any slot — from CQ9 or Microgaming, for example — and tap the info icon before starting. If the studio publishes RTP for that title, the figure appears in the panel. We only display the figure where it is provided by the studio directly.
Log in and open the account settings section. The verification tab shows which documents have been submitted, which are pending review and which are confirmed. You do not need to contact support first — the status is visible and updates once the check is processed.
Yes. Open the sportsbook section and look for the display preferences option, usually in the top settings row of the page. Switch between decimal and other formats there. The change applies immediately to all visible markets including cricket and football listings.
After a deposit via Rocket or Upay completes, the amount is added to your account wallet and the transaction appears in your payment history. Open the cashier or transaction history tab in your account to see the record with date, amount and payment method labelled.
Your account dashboard shows rollover as a progress figure — the total wagered so far versus the total required. This updates as you place wagers on slots, live tables or the sportsbook. The dashboard is the authoritative source; the figure shown there is current as of your last page load.
Crash games like Crash Smoke use a multiplier mechanic rather than a traditional volatility scale, so the term applies differently. Teen Patti Rollout follows card-game odds rather than slot volatility. For these formats, check the game info panel — the mechanic is described there in plain terms before you start.
