Every term in this glossary comes directly from what you see inside 188coins — odds formats on the sportsbook, payout language on slots from Microgaming and Habanero, wallet labels tied to Maya and PESONet, and account steps you hit during verification.
The lobby surfaces four distinct sets of language depending on where you navigate. Knowing which family a word belongs to tells you where to look for it on screen and what action it maps to in your account or wallet.
Words like RTP, volatility, payline and bonus round appear on the game detail card before you load a title. Microgaming and CQ9 slots show these where the provider exposes them — not every title displays a full data sheet, so check the individual game panel.
Decimal odds, Asian handicap, over/under and spread are the terms you see on the sportsbook side, most visibly on basketball markets covering PBA and NBA fixtures. The format selector in the bet slip lets you switch between decimal and Hong Kong presentation.
Deposit, withdrawal, pending, e-wallet and InstaPay transfer are the words that appear in your account transaction history. Maya and PESONet are the verified rails here; the status of each transaction is shown in the wallet tab of your account dashboard after login.
KYC, rollover, turnover and wagering requirement surface in your account settings and in the terms attached to any active condition on your account. The current state of any requirement is shown in your account dashboard — not on a public page.
These six terms are the ones that appear most often when you open a slot or sit at a live dealer table. Each definition below reflects how the term is used inside the 188coins lobby — not a textbook version.
RTP stands for Return to Player. It is the percentage of all wagered amounts a game is designed to pay back over a very large number of rounds. A slot with 96% RTP is built to return 96 per 100 units staked across millions of spins. RTP is a long-run statistical measure, not a session promise.
House edge is the mathematical advantage built into a game. It is the inverse complement of RTP on slots, and a fixed margin on table games like Roulette Table. A house edge of 2. 5% means the platform retains an average of 2. 50 per 100 units wagered over time. It does not predict any individual round result.
Volatility — sometimes called variance — describes how a slot distributes its payouts. High-volatility slots pay larger amounts less frequently; low-volatility slots pay smaller amounts more often.
A wager or turnover requirement is a multiplier applied to an amount, specifying how many times that amount must be bet before it can be withdrawn. For example, a 10x requirement on a 100-unit amount means 1,000 units must be wagered. The remaining requirement is tracked in your account dashboard.
A jackpot is a game's top prize — the largest single payout that specific title can produce. It is hit on rare symbol combinations or through a dedicated prize mechanic built into the slot. The size and trigger conditions are set by the game provider, not the platform, and vary from title to title.
A live dealer is a real person dealing cards or spinning a wheel from a studio feed, streamed to your screen in real time. In the 188coins lobby, live dealer tables include options like Free Bet Blackjack Live. You interact via a bet interface on your screen while the dealer handles the physical game.
These terms come up on the sportsbook and in your account rather than inside a game itself. Understanding them helps you read a bet slip, complete a wallet transaction, and know what is being asked of you during account verification.
Asian handicap is a betting format that eliminates the draw outcome by giving one team a virtual head start or deficit. Common on basketball markets, it creates a two-way market. A -1. 5 handicap means your chosen team must win by two points or more for the bet to settle as a win.
Over/under — also called totals — is a bet on whether a combined score or statistic will be higher or lower than a number set by the sportsbook. In a basketball game with a total set at 210. 5, betting Over means you expect both teams to combine for 211 points or more by the end of the match.
Decimal odds show total return per unit staked, including your stake. Odds of 2. 50 mean a 100-unit bet returns 250 units total — 150 units in winnings plus your 100-unit stake. The 188coins sportsbook lets you select your preferred odds format in the bet slip settings.
An e-wallet is a digital payment account used for deposits and withdrawals. On 188coins, the verified e-wallet rails are Maya and PESONet. You link your Maya account or use PESONet transfers through the payment section of your account dashboard. Transaction status updates are shown in your wallet history.
KYC stands for Know Your Customer. It is an identity verification process required before withdrawals or higher account limits are available. You submit identifying documents through the account verification section. The specific documents and steps required are listed inside your account when verification is prompted.
Rollover is another word for wagering or turnover requirement — it specifies how many times an amount must be played through before a withdrawal is processed. The current rollover figure attached to your account balance is shown in your account dashboard after login, not on a public page.
Reading a glossary in isolation only goes so far — terms land differently when you see them attached to a real screen action. When you open the game detail panel for a slot like Tagaytay Breeze Deluxe and see a volatility label, that single wo
Before loading Tagaytay Breeze Deluxe, check the volatility label in the game panel. High volatility means less frequent but larger prize rounds; low volatility means steadier, smaller pays. That label sets the right expectation before the first spin.
On a PBA or NBA basketball market, the Asian handicap line removes the draw possibility and gives you a two-way choice. Read the spread carefully in the bet slip; the -1. 5 or +2. 5 figure is the virtual margin you are betting on, not the final score.
A pending label in your Maya transaction history means the deposit request has been submitted to the payment rail. The balance in your account wallet updates once the Maya or PESONet settlement cycle completes. The timeline is shown in your account, not here.
If a rollover requirement is attached to your account, the dashboard shows the remaining amount in real time. Wagers on slots from studios like Habanero or CQ9 count toward this figure. Check the dashboard before requesting a withdrawal to see the exact amount still needed.
If a definition here does not match what you see on screen, the fastest route is to check the in-lobby help section or reach out directly. The account dashboard also surfaces contextual help links next to terms like rollover and KYC when those states are active on your account.
The live chat icon is available from the account area. If you see a term in a bet slip or wallet screen that does not match this glossary, start a chat and share the screen label — our team can clarify the specific context for your account.
When KYC or rollover states are active, the account dashboard shows inline help links next to those specific fields. These links surface the exact requirement applied to your account — more precise than a general glossary entry because they reflect your actual account state.
For questions about payment terms — particularly how Maya or PESONet transaction labels map to your wallet status — email support is available through the contact section of your account. Include your transaction reference number for a faster, more specific response.
A player who understands RTP is less likely to misread a cold streak as a broken game. A player who knows what KYC requires can prepare the right documents before requesting a withdrawal, instead of discovering the step mid-process.
These questions are about navigating the actual screens and account steps that the glossary terms refer to — distinct from the definitions themselves.
RTP is shown on the game detail panel where the studio provider exposes it. Open the game thumbnail in the lobby and look for an info or details tab before launching.
Open any active market on the sportsbook and look for the odds format selector in the bet slip or in your account settings. You can switch between decimal and other supported formats. The setting applies across all open markets once changed, so you do not need to reset it for each individual bet.
Log in and go to your account dashboard. If a rollover requirement is attached to your account balance, the remaining figure is displayed there in real time. It updates after each qualifying wager. The dashboard is the only place this figure is shown — it is not visible on public pages.
The specific documents required are listed inside your account when the verification step is prompted — usually before your first withdrawal. The account will tell you exactly which ID types are accepted. Preparing a government-issued photo ID and a recent proof of address covers the most common requirements.
Pending means the deposit request has been submitted to the Maya or PESONet payment rail and is in the settlement process. The balance in your 188coins wallet updates once settlement completes. The transaction history in your account dashboard shows the current status; contact support with your reference number if a deposit remains pending unexpectedly.
Yes. Open a browser tab and go to 188coins/188coins-glossary/ from your phone. The page is formatted to read well on a mobile screen. You can keep it open alongside the lobby tab so you can check a term and return to your game or bet slip without closing either tab.
