The iGaming Jargon Translator is an AI-powered tool that converts iGaming industry terminology to plain English, or plain English descriptions to correct industry terminology. It is built for new starters entering the industry, agencies and journalists covering iGaming, and operators who need to communicate across teams where not everyone speaks the jargon.

The tool runs on Claude by Anthropic. Your text is sent securely to Anthropic's API for processing and is not stored or used for training. There is a daily usage limit per IP address to keep the tool free and available for all users.

Frequently Asked Questions
What iGaming terms does the translator cover?
The tool handles the full range of iGaming commercial, technical and regulatory terminology. This includes financial metrics (GGR, NGR, ARPU, CLV, LTV), marketing terms (CPA, RevShare, CPL, affiliate, white label), product terms (RTP, volatility, house edge, bonus abuse, wagering requirement), compliance terms (KYC, AML, GDPR, UKGC, MGA, self-exclusion, responsible gambling) and operational terms (first-time deposit, reactivation, churn, cohort analysis). If it is used in iGaming, the tool should be able to translate it.
Which AI model powers this tool?
The tool uses Claude by Anthropic. Claude is a large language model designed to follow detailed instructions accurately. It has broad knowledge of business, finance and regulatory language, which makes it well-suited to translating iGaming-specific terminology.
Is my text stored or used to train the AI?
No. Your text is sent to Anthropic's API to generate the translation and is not retained or used for training. JohnB.io does not log or store the content you submit. See the Anthropic Privacy Policy for full details.
What does the daily usage limit mean?
There is a per-IP daily limit to keep the tool available for everyone without requiring a login. If you hit the limit, it resets at midnight UTC. For higher-volume use or API access, connect via LinkedIn.
How It Works
  1. Select your translation direction using the toggle buttons at the top. Choose "Jargon → Plain English" to explain industry terms, or "Plain English → Jargon" to get the correct terminology for something you already understand.
  2. Paste or type your text into the input box. For best results, include a sentence or two of context rather than isolated terms - the AI translates more accurately with context.
  3. Click Translate. The tool sends your text to Claude, which returns a translation with explanations for each term or concept.
  4. Review the output and copy what you need. The translation appears in the results box below.
