Not Sure What a Term Means in Context?

Knowing the Language Gives You an Edge

When you understand what house edge actually means, you pick games differently. When you know what a rollover requirement is, you manage your account wallet smarter. This glossary is organized so you can scan for a specific term or read through a whole category. Definitions are short and practical — written around how these terms show up on empiremaker2, whether you're on

the sportsbook looking at a point spread or checking your Play+ balance after a withdrawal. Players in New York and across eligible states have told us the payment and account terms are the ones that trip people up most, so we've weighted coverage there.

Glossary: Game Mechanics and Casino Basics

These are the terms that appear across slots, table games, and live dealer rooms. Each definition is written around how the term functions on our platform.

Return to Player — the percentage of total wagers a game is designed to pay back over time. RTP is only shown where the game provider, such as Pragmatic Play, exposes it in the game panel.

The mathematical advantage the platform holds on each bet. A blackjack table with a 0.5% house edge returns 99.5 cents on every dollar wagered on average over a long session.

How often a slot pays out and in what size. High volatility means fewer wins but larger amounts; low volatility means more frequent, smaller payouts. Astro Multiplier runs high volatility.

The total amount bet during a session or to satisfy a promo condition. Turnover counts every bet placed, not just money deposited — so a $10 deposit played five times equals $50 turnover.

A slot with a prize-style feature pool that builds across wagers. The prize amount is visible in the game UI and is not a — it resets after it is awarded

A real person dealing cards or spinning a wheel via video stream. Evolution powers most live dealer tables on our platform, including Speed Roulette and live blackjack rooms.

Glossary: Betting, Payments, and Account Terms

These terms come up most in the sportsbook, during deposits and withdrawals, and when verifying your account. Knowing them helps you move faster through the steps that actually matter.

A margin set by the sportsbook to level two teams. Betting the favorite means they must win by more than the spread; backing the underdog means they can lose by less and you still cash.

A straight win-or-lose wager with no spread involved. Odds are shown as positive or negative numbers — negative means the favorite; positive means the underdog and higher potential return.

Multiple bets pulled from one game — say, an NFL quarterback's passing yards plus the final score — combined into one wager. All legs must hit for the parlay to pay out.

The number of times a promo credit must be wagered before it can be withdrawn. A $50 credit with a 5x rollover means $250 in total wagers must be completed first.

Know Your Customer — the identity verification step where you submit a photo ID and sometimes a utility bill. We require KYC before processing withdrawals to PayPal, Venmo, or Play+.

A digital account that holds funds for fast transfers. On empiremaker2, PayPal and Venmo act as e-wallets — you fund them separately, then connect to your account for deposits and withdrawals.

How These Terms Apply to Your empiremaker2 Account

Definitions are one thing — knowing how a term triggers on our platform is the practical part. These questions cover the most common moments where glossary terms actually show up in your account flow.

Open the game info panel inside any slot — Pragmatic Play and PG Soft titles typically display RTP there. If the provider hasn't published it, the field won't show, and we don't substitute a figure.

KYC is required before your first withdrawal. Submit your photo ID through the account verification screen; once approved, PayPal and Venmo withdrawals can proceed through the same session.

High-volatility slots like Astro Multiplier suit longer sessions where you're comfortable with stretches between payouts. Low-volatility titles pay more often and suit shorter mobile sessions.

Pick two or more props or lines from the same game — like a player's receiving yards and the team's first-half score. Combine them in the bet slip; all legs must win for the parlay to pay.

Every real-money wager placed while the promo credit is active counts. Slot spins on Touchdown Legends, live blackjack hands, and sportsbook bets all contribute, subject to the promo terms shown.

Play+ is a prepaid card linked to your account wallet. Funds are pushed directly to the card and available to spend or transfer. PayPal and Venmo go to your existing account on those platforms.
