Crash Gambling Dictionary: Essential Terms and Definitions
Despite my experience in crash gambling, I still learn a lot from our growing Discord community.
One of my recent realizations was the fact that the majority of crash gambling novices find it hard to keep up with my vocabulary.
🚀 If you’re new to crash gambling, this page offers explanations of all common crash gambling terms and expressions in alphabetical order.
I often talk about things like return-to-player, advanced crash gambling strategies, or casino liquidity, and it turns out not everyone understands what all that means.

A
Algorithm
A set of mathematical rules or a process that crash games use to generate randomized values and determine the outcome of the game, e.g. when the multiplier crashes. Several variations of crash gambling algorithms exist, some of which also provide provable fairness.
Learn more about different crash gambling algorithms.
Auto Betting Mode
In auto-betting mode, the players can exercise all the betting automation features offered by a particular crash game. The pillar of the auto betting mode is the auto cash-out function.
Auto Cash Out
A betting interface feature that allows players to set a predetermined multiplier at which their bet will be automatically cashed out. This feature is also commonly called the “auto mode”.
B
Bankroll
The total amount of money a player has available to spend in a crash game.
Bankroll Management
A strategic approach to handling the gambling bankroll. It involves setting loss limits, adjusting bet sizes based on the profitability of the placed bets, and other techniques that allow the player to stay in the game longer.
Learn more about bankroll management techniques.
Betting Interface
The betting interface is the section of a crash game where the players place, cash out, or cancel their bets. Certain crash games come with dual betting interfaces, but almost all of them offer players to play in either manual or auto cash-out mode.
Bonus
Funds or rewards are given to the player by the casino in the form of free fiat or cryptocurrencies. Bonuses are used as an incentive for players to sign up, perform certain actions, or meet certain criteria.

Bust
This term is used to describe an outcome of the game when the crash multiplier crashes before the player gets to cash out, resulting in a loss of the bet amount placed.
C
Cash Out
The action of exiting a round before the crash point in order to secure a profit based on the current multiplier and the initial bet amount. Crash game players can cash out at any given moment before the bust.
Cold Wallet
An offline storage method of cryptocurrencies used both by players and casinos to enhance the security of cryptos by minimizing the risk of online hacking.
Crash Point
The point at which the multiplier in a crash game comes to a stop and the round of the game ends. Players who cash out before the crash point win the initial bet amount multiplied by the multiplier at which they cashed out. Players who fail to cash out before the crash point lose their initial bet amount.
Crash Gambling Strategies
Crash gambling strategies are approaches or plans used by advanced crash players to maximize potential winnings or minimize losses in the game of crash. These strategies may involve decisions on when to cash out, adjusting bet sizes, or employing risk management techniques. Read more about different crash gambling strategies.

D
Deposit
The act of adding fiat or cryptocurrencies to the player account at an online casino. Deposits can be made using several different payment methods.
F
Faucet
A feature in certain crash casinos that allows you to receive small amounts of cryptocurrencies without any restrictions or conditions. The funds you receive can be used to try crash games without making deposits. Faucets have become more and more rare in recent times.
FOMO (Fear of Missing Out)
A known psychological phenomenon where players feel the need to participate in every round of a crash game due to the fear that they will miss out on their next big win. This mentality can lead to a quick loss of funds.
Free Spins
While this term usually relates to free slot game rounds, which allow players to spin the reels without spending their own money, it’s also a term relevant for crash gamblers. Online casinos offer free spins that allow players to win small amounts of cryptocurrencies, which can be used to play crash games.
G
Gamification
The incorporation of game-like elements into online casinos. This includes rewards, missions, challenges, and achievements. Gamification enhances the experiences at an online casino, making players more engaged and loyal to the platform due to the fun and reward-filled experience.
H
House Edge
The mathematical advantage that a casino holds over its players ensures their profitability in the long run. While you may catch a big win here and there, the casino or “the house” always wins in the end.
One of our favorite low house edge crash games is Crash by Stake Originals.
House Rules
Specific policies and terms defined by the casino determine the actions players can take. Betting limits, wagering requirements, and house edge are all part of the house rules.
Hot Wallet
A cryptocurrency storage method is more exposed to the risk of internet hacks due to it being connected to the internet. A typical example of a hot wallet is your casino account wallet. Hot wallets allow for instant deposits and withdrawals while still guaranteeing a high degree of safety.
K
KYC (Know Your Customer)
A verification process through which a casino can determine your real residency and personal information. Licensed online casinos are legally bound to confirm the identity of their players, which is usually required before withdrawals are processed.
L
Liquidity
The total amount of available funds at a particular online casino determines the maximum bet and win limit. Casinos need to provide enough liquidity in all offered currencies to ensure players can bet and win as much as is allowed in the house rules.
Live Chat
A feature in crash games that allows players to communicate with each other in real-time. Games like Big Bass Crash from Pragmatic Play also allow players to communicate with live chat support within the game.
Live Leaderboard
A feature in crash games that allows players to see exactly how much the players participating in a particular round of crash are betting, when they cashed out, how much they profited, or how much they have lost after a bust.
Leaderboard
A section or a feature in a crash game that provides players with information on the biggest and luckiest wins of the day, month, or year in that game.
M
Manual Betting Mode
In manual betting mode, the player has to manually place and cash out bets in every round of crash.
Maximum Bet
The largest amount of funds you can bet in a single round of a particular crash game. This value varies from game to game, and it can fluctuate between as low as $1000 and as high as $1,000,000.
Maximum Multiplier
The highest number that the crash game multiplier can reach in a single round of a particular crash game. Once the game reaches the maximum multiplier, all players get their bets automatically cashed out. Maximum multipliers range from 100X to 1,000,000,000X (yes, a billion).
Keep in mind, that despite some games having incredibly high maximum multipliers, there are also maximum win limits in place. This means that if you place a $1 bet and cash out at 100,000X – you might still only win $10,000 if that is the game’s maximum win per round limit.
Minimum Bet Amount
The smallest amount of funds you can bet in a single round of a particular crash game. This value varies from game to game, and it can fluctuate between as low as $0.001 and $1. Generally speaking, the best games provide players with minimum bet amounts lower than $0.1, anything above that is less friendly to players with lower bankrolls.
Multiplier
A simple numeric value that represents the potential payout in a single round of a crash game. The multiplier in a crash game rises until the crash point is reached.
P
Provable Fairness
A type of algorithm (provably fair algorithm, which assures provable fairness) used in crash games that allow players to verify the outcome of each game to confirm that the randomized game results were indeed random.
R
Reinvestment
Using winnings from previous rounds of crash to place additional bets in future rounds of the game.
Responsible Gambling
A set of practices and guidelines that we recommend players set into place to avoid the potential negative impact of gambling on their lives. This includes setting spending limits, time limits, self-control and analysis, and more. Read our full guide to responsible gambling to learn more.

Return to Player (RTP)
RTP is the percentage of the total wagers placed in a crash gambling game that is paid back to the players over a longer period of time. A higher RTP (in crash games, 99% RTP is considered high, 97% is considered average, and anything below 97% is considered low) means that the players can expect better odds of winning and a more favourable game in the long run.
In layman’s terms, in a 99% RTP crash game, you can expect to gain back $99 from every $100 you wager over a long period of time.
Our favorite high RTP crash game is Crash by BC Originals (99% RTP).
Risk Management
Gambling and bankroll management strategies and techniques are focused on minimizing gambling losses while still aiming to bring in the highest amount of profit possible when playing.
S
Seed Value
A randomly generated starting point is used in cryptographic algorithms to ensure the fairness and unpredictability of the outcome in a crash game. Crash game algorithms compile and hash at least one server or game-side seed value and a user-side seed value to generate a single randomized game result.
Session
The duration of a player’s gambling time from the time a player starts crash gambling to the point where he stops. A session can last for an hour, 10 minutes, or multiple hours.
Social Gambling
Engaging in a crash game that allows you to interact and communicate with other players of the game. Social crash games incorporate features that involve a social aspect, for example, a live chat room.
V
