Credit [Meaning] - MasterTerms.com

Credit

A credit is the amount of money that a casino allows a player to borrow or have on account for gambling purposes.

In more detail, a credit functions like a line of credit at a casino, enabling players to place bets without immediate cash on hand. Players can apply for credit through the casino’s credit office, and once approved, they can use the credit for various games within the casino. The borrowed amount is expected to be repaid, typically after the gambling session or within a set period, depending on the casino’s policies.

Credit Example

For example, a player might apply for a $5,000 credit line at a casino. Once approved, they can use the credit to play blackjack, poker, or other games, and then settle the balance after their gaming session.
