Know the Language Before You Open a Round

Knowing what a term actually means changes how you choose a game. When you see RTP on a Pragmatic Play slot or volatility on a PG Soft title, that number tells you how the math is set up — not what you will win tonight. The same applies to sports betting: lines, handicap and over/under mean specific things that affect which market

you pick. On the payment side, understanding KYC and rollover before you cash out via GCash or Maya saves you from surprises at the cashier screen. Every definition in this glossary is written around how these terms appear on phgalaxy specifically.

Fundamental Terms Every Player Should Know

These are the terms you will encounter most often across slots, live tables and the sportsbook. Each definition below reflects how the term appears inside our lobby.

RTP stands for Return to Player — the percentage of total bets a game is designed to pay back over many rounds. We show RTP only where the game provider publishes it.

House edge is the mathematical advantage the platform holds on any game. A lower house edge means more of your stake statistically returns to you across a long session.

Volatility describes how a slot pays out. High volatility means bigger but less frequent wins. Low volatility means smaller, more regular payouts. PG Soft and Pragmatic Play usually label this on each title.

Wager or turnover refers to the total amount staked. On promo terms, it means how much you need to bet through before a reward becomes withdrawable to GCash or Maya.

A jackpot is the highest possible prize pool attached to a specific slot feature. Some jackpots are fixed amounts; others are prize-style pools that grow with each bet placed.

A live dealer is a real person dealing cards or spinning a wheel in a studio streamed to your screen. Evolution and Pragmatic Play Live both run live dealer tables accessible in our lobby.

Payments, Odds and Account Language Unpacked

These terms come up on the sportsbook, at the cashier, and inside your account settings. Understanding them prevents confusion when you are moving money or reading a betting line.

Asian handicap is a betting format that removes the draw outcome by giving one team a goal head start. Common in PBA and international football markets, it sharpens the line to two outcomes.

Over/under is a market where you predict whether a stat — points scored, total goals — will land above or below a set number posted by the sportsbook. Popular for NBA and UAAP basketball lines.

Rollover is the number of times you must wager a promo amount before withdrawing it. If a promo has a 10x rollover on ₱100, you need ₱1,000 in total bets before cashing out.

An e-wallet is a mobile money account — GCash, Maya — that holds funds you can send or receive without a traditional bank. On phgalaxy, these are the primary deposit and withdrawal rails.

KYC stands for Know Your Customer — the identity verification step where you submit a valid ID before withdrawals are processed. It protects your account and confirms ownership before funds move.

InstaPay is a real-time interbank fund transfer service in the Philippines. It lets you move money between a bank account and your phgalaxy wallet without using a physical ATM or

How These Terms Apply Inside the Platform

Definitions are useful — but here is how each concept actually shows up when you are navigating the lobby, the cashier, or a live table on phgalaxy.

RTP appears on the game detail page when the provider — Pragmatic Play or PG Soft — includes it. If it is not shown, the provider has not published that figure for that title.

If your account balance includes promo funds still under rollover, those funds are locked until the wager requirement is met. Your own deposited balance via GCash or Maya is not affected by this hold.

KYC is triggered before your first withdrawal is processed. You will be asked to upload a valid Philippine ID. Once verified, the step does not repeat for routine withdrawals on the same account.

When you open a PBA game market, the handicap shows as a +/- number next to each team. Adding or subtracting that number from the final score tells you which side covered the line.

In a crash game, high volatility means the multiplier can climb high before cashing out, but it can also end early. Cashing out before the round ends locks in whatever multiplier you see at that moment.

Both move funds in real time. GCash is wallet-to-wallet inside the GCash app. InstaPay moves funds from a bank account directly, so use whichever matches where your balance currently sits.
