How the thing is put together

Agent

A local intermediary who resells operator accounts. Adds a party between you and the licensed entity, and removes whatever protection the licence provided.

Client

The game lobby itself. It loads titles and accepts a login. It holds no money.

Operator

The company holding your account, your balance and your withdrawal decision. The only party in this chain you can meaningfully evaluate.

SCR888

The original name of the client before the rebrand to 918Kiss and Kiss918.

Installing and devices

APK

An Android package file. Because the client is not in the app stores, this is how it is distributed — and why provenance matters so much.

Configuration profile

The iOS equivalent of an APK for this category. Apple revokes them when found, which is why iOS installs stop working.

Unknown sources

The Android setting that permits installing outside the store. Worth switching off again immediately after use.

Money and offers

Free credit

Promotional balance, usually with wagering attached. Rarely withdrawable without meeting a turnover requirement first.

Game weighting

The share of each stake that counts toward a wagering requirement. Some titles count at a fraction, some at zero.

RTP

Return to player. For licensed studio games it is published and audited. For this client, no such figure exists in any verifiable form.

Wagering requirement

Turnover you must complete before a bonus or its winnings become withdrawable, expressed as a multiple.

Withdrawal cap

The maximum withdrawable from bonus play, regardless of balance. Often the term that decides whether an offer was worth taking.
