[ SLANG ][ BETTING APPS ][ SPORTS BETTING ]
A betting promotion that refunds part or all of a wager as bonus credit if it loses, softening the downside of a losing bet rather than paying out only on a win.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"Lost the parlay but it was a cashback bet, so half of it comes back as credit."
LORE & ORIGIN
Standard betting-platform loyalty mechanic, part of the same promotional toolkit as free bets, aimed at keeping users betting by reducing the perceived risk of any single loss.
