Gambling TermsWell, here it is - the gigantic list of gambling terms. If there isn’t a gambling definition here than you haven’t heard it in a casino! We’ve gathered together all the gambling terms there are from casino table game terms to sports betting terms. If you come across something you don’t know it’s probably here in our big ol’ list of gambling terms.
The term gambling has had many different meanings depending on the cultural and historical context in which it is used. Currently, in Western societies, it has an economic definition, referring to "wagering money or something of material value on an event with an uncertain outcome with the primary intent of winning additional money and/or material goods". Typically the outcome of the wager is evident within a short period of time.
The term gaming in this context typically refers to instances in which the activity has been specifically permitted by law. The two words are not mutually exclusive; i.e.: a “gaming” company offers (legal) “gambling” activities to the public.

On entering the game, the enterbet.com Lobby is displayed which acts as a hub for all the tables in the game. This is similar to the Poker lobby and displays a list of Real and Play money tables available to play. To begin play, select one of the black Real Money tables from the list by double clicking it, or highlight it and click the "JOIN TABLE" button. If you are not already logged in, you will be prompted to do so and must enter valid login details to continue. Alternatively, you can join one of the blue Play Money tables in the same way which will load the table with a Play balance of 1000 chips. All bets on a Play Money table will not affect your Real account balance and will not be recorded in your Bet History. It is not required for you to be logged in to join a Play Money table. Alongside each table in the list, a "Seats" value and a "Time" value are displayed which vary between tables. The "Seats" value indicates the number of participating seats there are around the table, and the "Time" value indicates the time period allowed for betting between each set of new cards. If you find that you have too much or too little time to place bets on a table or require a different number of participants, then you can return to the lobby and select an alternative table.
When entering a Real Money table in enterbet.com, you will be presented with the "Sit Down at Table" window. This allows you to transfer some chips from your account to your balance for the table in the same way as you do on a Poker table. To transfer some chips, enter the required amount making sure it is above the stated minimum and less than your current available credits, and click the "OK" button. If you need to add to your available credits, click the "Bank" button to be taken to the Poker banking area. You can access this window at any time to add further chips to your table balance by clicking on the chip tray at the top of the table. Placing bets on enterbet.com involves the casino-style placing of chips in the bet area of your chosen seat. First select a chip size from the Chip Selector in the bottom right hand corner of the screen, and then click on the "BET HERE" area of your chosen seat to begin adding chips. You can change the chip size at any time using the selector and remove all unconfirmed chips by clicking the "CLEAR BETS" button. You may place chips on as many of the seats as you wish. Once you are happy with the chips you"ve placed for your bet, they must be confirmed before the bet is registered and the amount taken from your balance. Click the "CONFIRM BETS" button to do this, at which point your chips will be moved to the confirmed bets areas next to each seat and the total amount will be deducted from your table balance. You can confirm chips more than once during a round, and these will be added to the current confirmed stack when the button is clicked. The "Stake" and "Return" values on the seat reflect the total of all stakes placed so far and the potential returns available if your seat wins the hand outright (there may be more than one winning seat, and this eventuality is detailed in the "Split Win" section on this page). These values will be added to whenever a bet is made. Every betting round lasts for a set amount of time determined by the choice of table in the lobby, so you must make sure all bets for the round are confirmed before the timer runs out. The "CONFIRM BETS" button will flash and a warning will be given when the round is close to ending. Should you have unconfirmed chips on the table when the round timer runs out, they will be removed from the table and will not be registered. Fun Betting History. Fun-Token Score:, 1075 FTs.
