Turnover is a tally of bets placed, so it grows at each wager rather than at each point where money moves between the player and the operator. Deposit ₱100 once, play that same ₱100 across five separate spins, and turnover reaches ₱500. Because house edge, wagering requirements and RTP all rest on turnover, it underlies nearly every other money term in this list.
A worked example
Say ₱500 is deposited and wagered at ₱50 a round for ten rounds; turnover is ₱500, level with the deposit only because no winnings were played again. Staking ₱50 of winnings ten further times in the same session takes turnover to ₱1,000, though the deposit was ₱500 throughout.
Using it in practice
Judge a quoted house-edge figure or wagering requirement by turnover; the deposit is the wrong yardstick. Frequent replaying of a balance during a session makes the two figures diverge in short order. Since the same clause usually carries all of them, it reads better alongside what wagering requirement means and house edge explained.
Turnover is among the terms used across the game pages on this site; when a studio does not publish the figure behind it, the page says so rather than borrowing a number from a comparison site. Blanks appear in several spec tables here for exactly that reason.
The common misreading
Turnover gets mistaken for the total deposited or the balance on the account. It is neither. The more often a small deposit is won back and put in play again, the larger turnover grows beyond it; a large untouched balance adds none.
Net win, net loss and deposit are all something other than turnover. Large turnover is possible in a session that ends exactly break-even, because the figure describes staking volume instead of outcome or source.
