A glossary of bonus, slot and payment terms
Casino jargon decoded, from bonus terms to blockchain fees.
Words from the bonus terms
Bonus conditions use a vocabulary of their own, and a few words decide whether a bonus is worth taking. The definitions below map directly to the SpinCity offer of 100% up to ZMW 11,000 + 50 free spins.
- Free spins: rounds on a selected slot paid by the casino; their winnings carry a rollover
- Cashback: part of your losses returned, here 10% on a weekly basis
- Max bet: the highest stake allowed while a bonus is active
- Bonus money: credit that becomes withdrawable only after wagering
- Rollover: how many times the bonus must be bet before cashout, at SpinCity 35x in 30 days
- Contribution: how much a bet adds to the wagering, often lower for table games
Read the specific terms of every offer before you activate it. The wagering rules are explained with a worked example.
Slot terms
These terms come from the rules and paytable of a slot. Knowing them helps you choose games that fit your budget and style. Jackpot slots add a few terms of their own, covered in a separate guide.
| Word | Meaning |
|---|---|
| RTP | The share of all stakes a game returns in theory, over millions of rounds |
| Variance | The risk profile of a slot: steady small wins or rare large ones |
| Megaways | Reels that change size every spin, creating shifting win lines |
| Progressive | A top prize that increases until someone wins it |
| Payout table | The screen with symbol values and bonus rules |
| Buy feature | A price paid to skip straight to the feature |
A few more game words
A demo is a free version of the game for practice. The wild symbol replaces others in a combination. Scatters pay regardless of position and frequently start the feature. Hit frequency: the share of spins that win anything, which goes hand in hand with volatility.
Cashier and account words
The cashier and account pages come with their own set of words. Speed, verification and caps cover most of them.
Verification: confirming who you are with documents, usually before the first payout. Payout time: 12 hours to 3 business days between request and payment at SpinCity. A pending withdrawal has been submitted but not yet approved.
Minimum cashout: the lowest amount accepted for a withdrawal, ZMW 16. Daily limit: the maximum you can withdraw per day, at SpinCity $10,000. The currency of your balance is fixed at sign-up, which in Zambia is normally ZMW.
Deposit method rule: withdrawals usually go back to the method used for the deposit. The full payout process is covered in the guide to cashouts.
Crypto terms
Crypto payments bring their own terms, and SpinCity supports 14 coins. Getting them right prevents the most expensive mistakes. Crypto deposits and payouts are covered step by step in a separate guide.
Gas fee: the cost of a crypto transfer, paid to the network, not the casino. Confirmation: the network's approval of a transaction; deposits are credited after enough of them. Chain: the route of a transfer, which must match between sender and receiver.
TXID: the unique transaction ID that proves a transfer was sent. Stablecoin: a cryptocurrency designed to keep a stable value. Wallet address: the string of characters you send coins to; always copy it, never type it.
Words about your account
A few terms relate to keeping your account safe and accessible. They are worth knowing even if you never have a problem. The official SpinCity site and its mirrors are described in a guide of their own.
2FA adds a second proof of identity at login. Domain: the web address of the site, worth checking before every login. Phishing: an imitation of the casino aimed at your password or payment data.
The regulatory licence, issued by Anjouan (Union of Comoros). Operator:. Padlock: the browser symbol showing that the connection to the site is encrypted. Login history: when and from where the account was opened, handy for noticing access you do not recognise.
Responsible play vocabulary
The most important terms are the ones that help you keep gambling under control. All of them are available in your account settings or through support. How SpinCity handles these tools is part of the full review of SpinCity.
Reality check: a timed message about the length of the session. A deposit limit restricts the amount you can pay in. Cooling-off period: a temporary pause from the account.
Self-exclusion period: closing the account to yourself for a set time. It is the strongest tool and cannot usually be reversed early. Gambling is for adults, 18+, and independent help services are available if it stops being fun.
