bet365 glossary: casino terms explained

A quick reference for every term in the bet365 terms and lobby.

Bonus vocabulary

Before you claim any offer, it helps to know these terms. The definitions below map directly to the bet365 offer of 100% up to KES 76,000 + 50 free spins.

• Stake limit: the largest single bet permitted with an active bonus
• Game weighting: the percentage of a bet that a game adds to the wagering total
• Cashback: part of your losses returned, here 10% on a weekly basis
• Wagering requirement: the total betting volume needed to release a bonus, set at 35x over 30 days
• Bonus spins: spins credited by the casino on a set game, with winnings that still need wagering
• Bonus balance: money from an offer that stays apart from your cash until wagering is done

Each offer has its own terms, so always check the conditions page for the exact figures. How the multiplier works in practice is shown in how the rollover works.

Slot jargon

Slots have their own jargon, mostly found in the info screen of each game. With them, picking a game for your budget is simpler. The words behind progressive prizes are covered in our jackpot guide.

A few more game words

The wild symbol replaces others in a combination. Scatters pay regardless of position and frequently start the feature. A demo is a free version of the game for practice. Hit frequency describes how regularly a game pays out.

Payment and account terms

These words appear whenever you deposit or withdraw. Knowing them makes every transaction clearer.

Pending: a request waiting for review. Verification: the process of confirming who you are with official documents. Payout window: 12 hours to 3 business days from request to payment.

Minimum cashout: the lowest amount accepted for a withdrawal, KES 100. Daily cap: no more than $10,000 can be withdrawn per day. Account currency is set when you open the account and is hard to change later, which in Kenya is normally KES.

Return-to-source rule: withdrawals normally use the method you paid in with. The full payout process is covered in the guide to cashouts.

Blockchain vocabulary

Since the cashier lists 14 coins, it pays to know a few blockchain terms. Misunderstanding them can cost money. How crypto deposits and payouts work is covered in our crypto payments guide.

Gas: the fee you pay the network for each transfer. Confirmations: blocks that validate a transfer before crediting. Network: the specific chain used for a transfer, which must match on both sides.

Address: the destination of a crypto transfer, best copied or scanned. TXID: the unique transaction ID that proves a transfer was sent. Stablecoin: a coin pegged to a fiat currency to avoid price swings.

Words about your account

Account security has a small vocabulary. They are worth knowing even if you never have a problem. How to recognise the real address is explained in our guide to the official site.

Phishing means fake pages or messages designed to capture your data. Two-step login: a code or app approval on top of your password. Domain: the web address of the site, worth checking before every login.

Session history: a record of when and where your account was used. Licence: bet365 operates under a Anjouan (Union of Comoros) licence. Operator:. Padlock icon: proof of a secure, encrypted connection.

Staying in control

Some terms exist to keep play under control. Support can help set up any of them. How bet365 handles these tools is part of our verdict on bet365.

Time-out: a short break during which you cannot log in or play. Deposit cap: a ceiling on what you pay in per day, week or month. Session reminder: a pop-up that tells you the time spent in a session.

Self-exclusion period: closing the account to yourself for a set time. This is the firmest option, and it usually cannot be lifted early. If gambling stops being fun, these tools and independent help services are there for you.
