Where a page uses the word Turnover, it usually takes for granted that you know it already. This one does not.

Bets drive turnover, not transfers: it builds whenever a stake is placed, not whenever funds change hands with the operator. Only ₱100 goes in as a deposit, yet staking it on five separate spins yields ₱500 of turnover. Turnover is the base for house edge, the measure for wagering requirements and the reference point for RTP; almost every other money term listed comes back to it.
A worked example
Suppose a player puts in ₱500 and stakes ₱50 on each of ten rounds: turnover is ₱500, matching the deposit just because no winnings were restaked. Add ten further stakes of ₱50 from winnings before the session ends and turnover is ₱1,000, still from the same ₱500 deposit.
Using it in practice
Read any stated wagering requirement or house-edge figure in terms of turnover, instead of the amount deposited. Replay a balance more often in one session and the two figures drift apart quickly. It lands more easily next to house edge explained, which tend to show up in the same set of terms.
Game pages across this site use terms such as Turnover and, whenever the studio leaves the figure behind one unpublished, say as much rather than borrowing a number from a comparison site. Several spec tables on this site show blanks for that reason.
The common misreading
Deposit total and current balance are commonly mistaken for turnover. It is neither. Turnover can dwarf the deposit when a modest amount is won back and restaked over and over, and a large unused balance produces zero.
Net winnings, net losses and deposits are all different things from turnover. Staking volume is what it captures, rather than the result or the source of funds; large turnover and an exact break-even finish can coexist in one session.

FAQ
Is Turnover something a casino can change?
Not on this site's evidence. If the game's own mathematics sets a value behind turnover, that value is the studio's rather than the operator's, and an outside source has no way to confirm it where the studio leaves it unpublished.
