What is cashback at a crypto casino?
Cashback is a reward that returns a percentage of your net losses over a set period — for example, 10% of what you lost that week paid back to your balance. It softens losing streaks rather than rewarding every bet.
It is close to rakeback but calculated differently: rakeback returns a share of the house edge on all your wagers (win or lose), while cashback is based specifically on your net losses. Cashback is usually paid weekly or monthly, sometimes with light wagering attached, and the rate can scale with VIP level.
For players who run at a loss over a period, cashback can return meaningful value; for break-even or winning players, rakeback (which pays on volume regardless of result) often returns more. Check whether an offer is true cashback or rakeback, and whether any wagering applies before withdrawal.
