Cashback
A refund of a percentage of your net losses over a set period, sometimes with wagering attached.
Cashback returns part of what you lost over a period such as a day or a week. It is usually calculated on net losses: deposits minus withdrawals and remaining balance, or bets minus wins.
Why it matters
Cashback softens a losing period, but it is only paid when you lose, so it can encourage continued play. Treat it as a small discount on losses, not a reason to keep playing.
Worked example
Over a week you lose $500 net. With 10% cashback, you receive $50. If the cashback carries 1x wagering, you must bet $50 before withdrawing it.
Cashback versus rakeback
Rakeback is paid on every bet regardless of outcome; cashback only on losses. A player who breaks even receives rakeback but no cashback.
What to check
- The exact definition of "net losses" in the terms.
- Whether bonus funds are included or excluded.
- Any wagering, cap, or requirement to claim within a time limit.
