New to online betting? Here are the key terms every Filipino bettor should know before placing a wager.
Asian Handicap
A style of sports betting popular in Asia that eliminates the draw outcome by giving one team a virtual advantage or disadvantage in goals/points. Widely used in football and PBA betting.
Over/Under (Totals)
A bet on whether the combined score of both teams will be over or under a number set by the sportsbook. Popular in NBA and PBA games.
Odds Formats
Odds can be displayed as Decimal (e.g., 1.85), Fractional (e.g., 17/20), or American (e.g., -118). ph497 displays decimal odds by default, which is the easiest format for most Filipino bettors.
RTP (Return to Player)
The long-term percentage of wagered money a slot or casino game is expected to return to players. A slot with 96% RTP returns ₱96 for every ₱100 wagered on average over millions of spins.
House Edge
The mathematical advantage a casino holds over players in any given game. Baccarat has a low house edge (~1%), while some slot games may have a higher edge depending on RTP settings.
Wagering Requirement
Also called rollover or turnover requirement. If you claim a ₱500 bonus with a 20x wagering requirement, you must bet ₱10,000 total before the bonus can be withdrawn as real cash.
Live Dealer Casino
A real-time streamed casino table game (baccarat, roulette, blackjack) with a human dealer visible via webcam. Gives the feel of a Manila casino floor from your phone at home.
Slot Volatility
High volatility slots pay out less often but in larger amounts. Low volatility slots pay smaller wins more frequently. Choose based on your bankroll size and playing style.
Progressive Jackpot
A jackpot that grows over time as players across multiple games contribute a small portion of each bet to a shared prize pool. Some progressive jackpots reach millions of pesos.
Cashback
A percentage of your net losses returned to you as bonus credit or real cash. ph497 VIP members earn cashback from 0.3% (Bronze) up to 1.2% (Diamond) on qualifying losses each week.
