Asian Handicap
A form of sports betting popular in Asia that eliminates the draw outcome by giving one team a virtual head start or deficit. It's widely used for football and PBA betting at ph3655 and tends to offer better odds than standard 1X2 markets.
Over/Under (Totals)
A bet on whether the combined total score of a game will be over or under a number set by the bookmaker. For example, if a PBA game is set at 195.5 total points and you bet Over, both teams need to score 196 or more combined for you to win.
Odds Formats
Odds can appear in three formats: Decimal (most common in PH online betting, e.g., 2.50 means a ₱100 bet returns ₱250 total), Fractional (e.g., 3/2), or American/Moneyline (e.g., +150 or -200). ph3655 uses decimal odds by default.
RTP (Return to Player)
RTP is the percentage of all wagered money that a slot or casino game pays back to players over time. A slot with 96% RTP theoretically returns ₱96 for every ₱100 wagered in the long run. Higher RTP = more player-friendly.
House Edge
The mathematical advantage built into every casino game that ensures the house profits over time. For example, a game with 96% RTP has a 4% house edge. This is not cheating — it's how the math works. Understanding house edge helps you choose better games.
Wagering Requirement
Also called rollover or playthrough, this is the number of times you must bet your bonus before you can withdraw it. If you get a ₱500 bonus with a 20x wagering requirement, you must wager ₱10,000 total before the bonus converts to real withdrawable cash.
Live Dealer Casino
A live dealer casino streams real human dealers via HD video to your screen. You see real cards being dealt or a real roulette wheel spinning — no computer-generated results. ph3655 offers live baccarat, blackjack, roulette, and sic bo with Filipino-friendly tables.
Slot Volatility
Volatility (also called variance) describes how often and how much a slot pays out. Low volatility = frequent small wins (good for casual players). High volatility = rare but potentially massive wins (better for bonus hunters). Gates of Olympus, for example, is high volatility.
Progressive Jackpot
A jackpot that grows every time someone plays the game without winning the top prize. A small percentage of each bet feeds the jackpot pool, which can grow to millions of pesos. When it finally hits, one lucky player takes the entire accumulated pot.
Cashback
A cashback offer refunds a percentage of your net losses over a period (daily, weekly, or monthly). For example, a 10% weekly cashback on ₱5,000 in losses gives you ₱500 back to your wallet. ph3655 offers cashback to Silver and Gold VIP members.
In-Play / Live Betting
In-play betting (also called live betting) lets you place wagers on a game already in progress. Odds shift in real time based on what's happening on the court or field. It's popular for NBA and PBA games where momentum shifts can create great value.
Free Spins
Free spins are bonus rounds on slot games that let you spin the reels without using your own money. They are often triggered by scatter symbols in a game or awarded as part of a welcome or reload promotion. Winnings from free spins may be subject to wagering requirements.
