RNG (Random Number Generator)
An RNG is an algorithm used by online casinos and gaming platforms to produce unpredictable outcomes, ensuring fair play across slots, table games, and lotteries.
What it means in practice
A random number generator (RNG) is the core algorithm that determines the outcome of every spin, hand, or draw in online casino games. RNG-based games use pseudorandom number generators (PRNGs) that produce sequences of numbers at high speed, mapping each number to a game outcome—such as a specific slot reel position or card value. Certified RNGs ensure that results are statistically independent and unpredictable, which is the foundation of fair play in regulated online gambling.
For online casino operators and their affiliate programs, RNG integrity is directly tied to player trust and regulatory compliance. Gaming regulators such as the MGA, UKGC, and Curaçao eGaming require operators to have their RNG systems independently tested and certified by labs like eCOGRA, iTech Labs, or GLI. A certified RNG ensures that slot RTP percentages and house edge values are mathematically accurate over time.
Affiliates promoting online casinos should understand RNG because it underpins claims about game fairness and payout rates. When writing about slot volatility, slot RTP, or casino hold percentage, the RNG is the mechanism that delivers those statistical properties. Educated affiliates can create more authoritative content that builds player trust and supports higher conversion rates.
RNG also applies to sweepstakes casinos and social casino platforms, where game fairness is equally important even though real-money wagering may not be the primary model. Sweepstakes operators use RNG certification to demonstrate compliance with state-level regulations.

Slot RTP (Return to Player)
RTP (Return to Player) is the theoretical percentage of total wagered money that a slot machine or casino game is designed to pay back to players over time. An RTP of 96% means that, on average, the game returns $96 for every $100 wagered, with the remaining $4 representing the house edge.
House Edge
House edge is the mathematical advantage a casino holds over players on each game, expressed as a percentage of each wager the operator expects to retain over time.
Slot Volatility
Slot volatility measures the risk and payout frequency of a slot game, affecting player behavior, session length, and ultimately the revenue an affiliate earns from referred players.
Casino Hold Percentage
The casino hold percentage is the proportion of player wagers that the casino retains as revenue over time. It reflects the mathematical advantage built into casino games and directly determines how much GGR an operator generates from player betting activity.
Game Provider
A game provider is a company that develops and licenses casino games — slots, table games, live dealer products — to online casino operators for use on their platforms.
Sweepstakes Casino
A sweepstakes casino is an online gaming platform that operates under a dual-currency model, using virtual currencies instead of real-money wagering to comply with US sweepstakes law.
