GLOSSARY TERM
Cashback
Cashback rebates losses — commonly 5–20% weekly or monthly, credited as real or bonus funds. Economically it’s a discount on the house edge, targeted at active players.
Design and consequences
Real-money cashback with no wagering is the premium version (and the honest VIP standard); bonus-funds cashback with strings is marketing wearing retention’s clothes. RG note: loss rebates specifically reward losing more, which regulators have noticed — some markets restrict loss-based incentives, and harm-marker frameworks treat escalating cashback chases as a flag. In NGR terms, cashback sits in the bonus-cost deduction line affiliates should watch.
