Sportsbook GGR (Gross Gaming Revenue)

GGR is the total amount wagered by players minus the total amount paid out as winnings. It represents the raw revenue an iGaming operator earns from player activity before any deductions for bonuses, taxes, or operational costs.

NGR is the revenue that remains after an operator deducts costs such as bonuses, taxes, and platform fees from GGR. It is a common base for RevShare calculations in iGaming affiliate programs.

Sportsbook RevShare is a commission model where affiliates earn an ongoing percentage of the net revenue generated by their referred bettors from sports betting activity, typically calculated on net sportsbook revenue after payouts and adjustments.

Betting handle is the total amount of money wagered on a sportsbook over a given period, before any payouts, and serves as the base metric for turnover-based affiliate commissions.

Negative carryover is a policy where a negative revenue balance from one period is rolled into the next period and offsets future affiliate earnings before new commissions are paid out.

Revenue share deductions are costs subtracted from gross revenue before calculating an affiliate's RevShare payout, including bonuses, taxes, fees, and chargebacks.

Sportsbook risk management is the process of controlling financial exposure on betting markets by adjusting odds, setting limits, and managing liability across events and bet types.

The betting margin (also called overround, vigorish, or juice) is the built-in profit margin a sportsbook applies to its odds, representing the difference between the true probability of outcomes and the implied probability reflected in the offered odds.
