Whether you're reading a game paytable, checking your wallet after a Rocket deposit, or scanning a live table's rules, the terms on screen should make sense before you act.
A term you don't recognise on a live baccarat table or a slot paytable can cost you a decision. Knowing what RTP means tells you how a game is designed — not what you will win in a session, but how the math sits over millions of rounds.
The glossary splits into four practical groups. Knowing which screen a term belongs to helps you find it when it matters — not after the round has closed.
Terms like RTP, volatility, house edge, and paylines appear on the game detail panel before you open a title. Check them on the info icon next to any slot or table game in the 88abc lobby to understand how that specific game is structured.
Asian handicap, over/under, and decimal odds sit in the sportsbook section. Cricket markets — including IPL and BPL fixtures — use these labels on every bet slip. The market name and odds format are shown before you confirm any selection.
Deposit, withdrawal, balance, and KYC are terms you'll see in the account area. When you add funds via Rocket or Upay, the wallet screen shows the transaction status using this language. KYC steps are listed in the verification section of your account.
Rollover, turnover, wagering requirement, and eligible games are the terms that govern whether a gameplay can be withdrawn. They appear on the information detail page inside your account. Read them before accepting any information to understand the release conditions.
Six terms that appear on nearly every game screen and paytable in the lobby.
RTP stands for Return to Player. It is a percentage showing how much of all money wagered on a game is returned to players over a very large number of rounds.
House edge is the mathematical advantage the game holds over players across all bets, expressed as a percentage.
Volatility, sometimes called variance, describes how a slot or game pays out. High volatility means larger but less frequent wins. Low volatility means smaller, more regular payouts. The game detail panel in the lobby may show this where the studio provides the data.
A wager or turnover requirement is the total amount you must bet before a gameplay balance becomes eligible for withdrawal. It is shown as a multiplier on the information detail page. Meeting it requires real-money play on eligible games listed in the information conditions.
In slot games, a jackpot is the highest prize available from a single spin or feature round. Some slots have a fixed jackpot shown in the paytable.
A live dealer game streams a real human dealer from a studio directly to your screen. You place bets through the interface while watching the dealer run the game in real time. 88abc's live casino section carries live dealer tables from its studio partners.
Six terms from the sportsbook, wallet, and account sections that come up when you fund your account or read a bet slip.
Asian handicap is a betting format used in football and cricket that removes the draw outcome and adjusts the starting position of each side. It splits the margin into quarter or half goals or runs, giving each team a head start or deficit before the match begins.
An over/under market asks whether a specific statistic — runs in a cricket innings, total goals — will finish above or below a set number. You pick over or under, then the result is settled against the actual match figure once the event ends.
Rollover is another word for wagering requirement — the number of times you must play through a gameplay amount before withdrawal is possible. A rollover of ten means a gameplay of one thousand must generate ten thousand in total bets on eligible games before it clears.
An e-wallet is a digital payment account that holds funds and processes transfers. In the 88abc deposit flow, Rocket and Upay are the verified e-wallet options. You select one in the deposit screen, enter the amount, and confirm through the wallet app on your phone.
KYC stands for Know Your Customer. It is an identity verification step your account may require before withdrawals are processed. The verification section of your account lists the documents and steps needed. Completing KYC also protects your account from unauthorised access.
Decimal odds show your total return per unit staked, including the original stake. Odds of 2.50 on a cricket match mean a stake of one hundred returns two hundred and fifty in total if the selection wins. The sportsbook at 88abc displays odds in decimal format by default.
Terms don't live in a vacuum — they appear at the moment you're about to make a choice. When you open a slot title in the 88abc lobby, the info panel may show RTP alongside volatility.
Open any slot in the 88abc lobby and tap the info icon. Where the studio exposes these figures, RTP and volatility appear there. Use them together — RTP tells you the long-run return design; volatility tells you the session rhythm you're signing up for.
Select a BPL or international cricket fixture in the sportsbook. When you choose an Asian handicap market, the bet slip shows the handicap line and the decimal odds side by side. Read both before confirming — the handicap changes which result your bet needs.
Go to the verification section of your account. Your KYC status is listed there. If a step is pending, the screen names exactly what is needed. Completing it is required before a Rocket or Upay withdrawal can be processed.
Open the information detail inside your account. The rollover multiplier and the list of eligible games are shown there. A game that is not on the eligible list does not count toward clearing the requirement, even if you hold a gameplay balance.
If a term on screen doesn't match what you read here, or a step in your account flow uses language you haven't seen before, reach out through the routes below. We can walk you through what a specific term means in the context of your account.
Open the chat window from the lobby or account page for a direct response. Use this when a term on a game panel or information screen needs immediate clarification.
Send a message to our support address listed on the Contact page. Include a screenshot if a term or label is unclear in context. Useful for wallet and KYC term questions that need a written record.
The Help Centre on the 88abc site covers common account, payment, and game terms with step-by-step context. Check it first for Rocket and Upay deposit flow vocabulary before contacting support.
How the terms in this glossary connect to actions you take in your account and the lobby.
Tap or click the info icon on any game tile in the lobby. Where the studio has published RTP data, it appears in that panel. Not every title exposes it — availability depends on what the provider includes in the game build.
Go to the verification section in your account settings. The steps and documents required are listed there. Follow the fields shown on that screen and submit. The wallet section updates your status once verification is processed by the account team.
Open the information detail page inside your signed-in account area. Your current wagering progress toward the rollover requirement is shown there alongside the eligible game list. Progress updates after qualifying rounds are settled.
Select Deposit in your account wallet, then choose Rocket from the payment options. Enter the amount, follow the confirmation steps shown in the Rocket app on your phone, and return to the 88abc wallet screen to see the transaction status update.
It means the market adjusts the run or wicket margin between the two sides before settlement.
Yes. The 88abc lobby has category tabs at the top of the game screen. Tap Live Casino or Slots to switch between them. Your account balance and wallet status remain visible throughout without needing to reload the page or sign in again.
