GLOSSARY TERM
Wagering Turnover
Turnover sums stakes (casino’s equivalent of sportsbook handle): recycled winnings inflate it far above deposits, and margin applied to it yields GGR.
Where it’s the operative number
Turnover-based commissions (poker rake shares, some crypto-casino deals), comp-point accrual, wagering-requirement progress, and game-mix analytics (turnover shares by provider drive content negotiations). Turnover-to-deposit ratios profile play styles — high recyclers versus deposit-and-bust patterns — feeding both value models and, in the now-familiar duality, harm-marker models watching the same intensity.
