The crypto casino glossary

Plain-English definitions, from account checks to wagering requirements.

AML

Anti-money-laundering rules and processes. An operator may apply checks under its policies and legal obligations.

Blockchain confirmation

A transaction’s inclusion and subsequent settlement progress on its network. Operator approval is a different stage.

BTC

The ticker symbol for Bitcoin.

Cashout cap

A limit on the amount that can be withdrawn or converted under specified terms, such as a promotion.

Client seed

A player-side input used by some provably fair game systems.

Crypto casino

An online gambling platform that uses cryptocurrency for payments, potentially with a converted accounting balance.

ERC-20

A token standard on Ethereum. USDT on this network must use a compatible receiving route.

Game contribution

The percentage of a stake that counts toward a promotional wagering target.

House edge

The game’s expected advantage over repeated play under its rules. In a simple model, 100% minus RTP.

KYC

Know your customer: identity and related account checks. A short sign-up form does not guarantee these will never apply.

Network fee

A charge associated with processing a blockchain transaction. A platform or exchange may also charge separately.

Nonce

A number, often a counter, used to distinguish bets in some provably fair implementations.

Provably fair

A mechanism for checking a game result against disclosed inputs and an earlier cryptographic commitment; not a casino solvency guarantee.

RTP

Return to player: the long-run expected return relative to total stakes under a game’s model, not a personal payout promise.

Self-exclusion

A process to block yourself from gambling access for a stated period under an operator or programme’s rules.

Server seed

An operator-side input used in some game verification systems, usually committed before play and revealed later.

TRC-20

A token standard on TRON. It is a different network route from Ethereum’s ERC-20.

Turnover

The sum of stakes placed; the same funds can be wagered repeatedly, so turnover can exceed the original deposit.

USDT

Tether’s dollar-referenced token, designed to track the US dollar and available on supported networks.

Volatility

The spread and variability of game outcomes; two games can share an RTP while distributing returns differently.

Wagering requirement

A rule specifying how much qualifying turnover is needed before a bonus or associated funds meet withdrawal conditions.
