Terms Related to Gamblers

• Download or no-download. Sometimes gambling programs must be downloaded in order to play, and some other times the program is online and customers can play it on their browser.
• Gambler. A gambler is a person that is addicted to gambling. However, a foodman is a player that plays even more addictively than a gambler, and cannot control their gambling addiction.
• Advancer. An advancer is a player that has a solid strategy for playing. Advancers usually only play on one single website that they have complete trust in. Sometimes some gamblers only trust certain websites that have been proven to bring them profit, so they stick to those certain websites only. It's hard to promote new gambling or online casino websites that have not yet been proven to payout to these types of players.
• Abuser or a freeloader. An abuser or a freeloader is usually a person that signs up at an online casino to receive bonuses for registering but immediately withdraws the cash and forgets about the gambling website. You want to have as little interaction with these types of players as possible, because not only will they not make you any money, but they'll also make problems for you.
• Bonus hunter. A bonus hunter is a person that immediately displays the bonus funds after they receive them. All these people do is hunt for bonuses and trick other players into getting more funds and withdrawing more cash out of the casino.
• Whales. Whales are people who usually put a lot of money into the game; more than any other person.

Terms Related to Gambling Actions

• Bet. A bet is probably the simplest concept in gambling. Whenever you bid on something higher than what other people are willing to pay, you are betting on something. In this case, you are either bluffing or you really believe that you have the higher ground.
• Buy-in. The buy-in refers to the money that you have to pay to enter a poker match. In other words, it's the entry fee for the poker game. If you do not have the buying amount, you cannot enter the table and play.
• Bluff. Bluffing refers to the act of deceiving other people and using psychological techniques to make other people think you have a higher hand, while you might actually be losing. This tricks other people into folding or giving up their cards and makes you end up winning the game on some occasions.
• Doubling or tripling. This refers to when you double or triple the bet.
• Bankroll. The bankroll refers to all the money that is available to be used by the player in the game.
• All-in. When a player goes all-in, they are betting all the money that is available to them in the game. Players usually do this if they really believe that they will win the round.
