Bets are what accumulate turnover; a transfer of money with the operator is not. Even though only ₱100 was ever deposited, the same ₱100 played across five separate spins contributes ₱500 of turnover, having been staked five times. Three things rest on this one unit: house edge applies to it, wagering requirements are measured in it, and RTP is defined against it, so nearly every other money term on this list is at bottom about turnover.
Using it in practice
Any stated wagering requirement or house-edge figure needs reading in terms of turnover instead of the amount deposited. Replay a balance within a session and the two quickly part company. It is easier to hold onto alongside the house edge entry, which the same pages tend to mention in the same breath.
Game pages across this site use terms such as Turnover, and when a studio publishes no figure for one, the page states that plainly instead of borrowing a number from a comparison site. For that reason, a number of the spec tables on these pages contain empty fields.
A worked example
Turnover of ₱500 (ten times ₱50) results when a player plays a ₱500 deposit through ten rounds of ₱50 each; it happens to equal the deposit only because none was won back and restaked. That same ₱500 deposit produces ₱1,000 in turnover once ₱50 of winnings is staked another ten times before the session ends.
The common misreading
Often, turnover is wrongly equated with deposit total or with current balance. It is neither. No turnover at all comes from a large balance sitting untouched, yet a small deposit that is won back and replayed repeatedly can generate turnover many times larger than the deposit itself.

Is Turnover something a casino can change?
Not on this site's evidence. A value behind turnover that the game's own mathematics sets is the studio's, not the operator's; when the studio does not publish it, no outside source can confirm it.
