Know the Terms Before You Play

Knowing what a term means changes how you make decisions. When you understand volatility, you pick slots that match how you want a session to run. When you know what rollover means, you read a promo for what it actually is. Our lobby uses standard industry language — RTP labels on slots from Pragmatic Play, live dealer terminology from Evolution tables, identity

verification described the same way your bank would describe it. This glossary brings it all into one place: game mechanics, betting lines, payment flow, and account controls. If you're in Pittsburgh, knowing these terms before you open the lobby means fewer pauses mid-session.

Explore the Core Game and Account Terms

Six terms come up more than any others across our lobby — whether you're browsing slots from Pragmatic Play, sitting at an Evolution live table, or checking what a promo condition requires. Each definition sticks to what the term means in practice, without padding it with scenarios that don't change the meaning. If you want real-game context on any of them, live chat can walk you through a specific example.

Return to Player — the percentage of total stakes a game pays back over time. A 96% RTP slot returns about $96 per $100 wagered, averaged across a very large sample of rounds.

The built-in mathematical advantage a casino game holds on each bet. A 2% house edge means the house retains roughly $2 per $100 wagered, calculated across a large volume of play.

How often and how much a slot pays relative to its stake. Low volatility means smaller, more frequent payouts; high volatility means larger wins that arrive less often during a session.

The total amount you must bet before a promotional credit becomes withdrawable. Each promo lists its own requirement — check it before you start playing through the credit balance.

A slot with a prize-pool feature built into its mechanics — either a fixed prize amount or a progressive pool that grows with every bet placed across connected games in the network.

A real-time game streamed from a studio where a human dealer handles cards, dice, or a roulette wheel. No random number generator decides the result — the dealer's physical actions do.

Browse Betting, Wallet, and Verification Terms

These terms appear in the parts of the account you reach as you go deeper — the sportsbook odds board, the cashier screen, and the identity verification prompt. Knowing what KYC means before you hit the withdrawal screen, or what an Asian handicap means before you build an NFL parlay, makes every step clearer. Each definition below is written in plain American English with no filler attached.

A betting format that gives one side a fractional head start, removing the draw as a possible outcome. Common in soccer markets and applied to some NFL spread markets in our sportsbook.

A wager on whether the combined score in a game lands higher or lower than the line the sportsbook posts. You pick over or under; the final score determines the result.

The number of times you must wager a promotional balance before it becomes real funds you can withdraw. Read the rollover multiple carefully before accepting any promotional credit to your account.

A digital payment app that holds funds for fast transfers into and out of your casino balance. PayPal and Venmo are both e-wallets you can use to fund your poweball account.

Know Your Customer — the identity check that matches your name, age, and address to a government-issued ID. We complete this step before processing your first withdrawal to any payment method.

Account settings that let you cap wager amounts or session duration. Open these settings inside your poweball account at any time and adjust them whenever your circumstances change.

How These Terms Work in Your Account

Knowing the definition is the starting point. Here's how each term maps to a real step inside your poweball account — from reading RTP data on a slot detail screen to moving funds through PayPal or Venmo from the cashier. Each answer below describes what you'll actually see and do, not a generic pointer. Availability depends on state law and is accessible in eligible states only.

Open any slot and tap the info or paytable icon before starting your round. Where the provider publishes RTP data, we display the actual figure in that game's detail screen on both mobile and desktop.

Open the promotions section in your account dashboard after accepting a promo. Your rollover progress updates each time you complete an eligible game round, so you can see exactly where you stand.

After opening your account, you'll be prompted to upload a government-issued ID and confirm your address. Our verification team reviews that submission before your first withdrawal request can be processed.

Open the cashier, select PayPal or Venmo, and enter your deposit amount. Approve the transfer in your payment app, and the balance appears in your account ready for use in the lobby.

A moneyline picks the straight winner of a game with no point spread applied. American odds show the line: a negative number marks the expected winner, a positive number marks the underdog.

Go to your account settings and open the session or spending controls panel. Adjustments take effect immediately, and you can revisit and change the settings any time from the same screen.
