English translation: Returns/return rates

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
French term or phrase:Reversements / taux de reversement
English translation:Returns/return rates
Entered by: margaret caulfield

Bus/Financial - Media / Multimedia / Video Game distribution
French term or phrase: Reversements / taux de reversement
Les taux de reversement mentionnés au 5.1 seront majorés pour le Jeu Vidéo en question de 5,75 %

I can't find any satisfactory solution on the Internet (found "retransfers" but sounds rather vague). Does anybody know the correct term, notably for the media (Video Game) sector ? Could it be "Fees" ?

In the context, I finally turned the meaning around and used "Fees" for the article's title (Reversements), at the client's request and used "pay back" for "reverser" in the body of the article. However, I guess returns/return rates is the closest solution. Many thanks to all

Qu'est-ce que le taux de redistribution des gains dans un casino en ligne ?

Le taux de redistribution des gains (le payout ou taux de reversement) est le pourcentage reversé par le casino en ligne aux joueurs sur l'ensemble des sommes jouées. Il s'oppose au taux de confiscation, ou plus communément nommé dans les casinos en dur "le pourcentage de la maison", qui se révèle en fait le bénéfice brut. Bien évidemment, ce bénéfice brut sert à payer toutes les charges, le personnel et toutes les taxes assujetties à un commerce.

neutral  Julie Barber: Hi Chris, I had a look on google based on your suggestion and there does seem to be quite a bit to support this answer\ unfortunately the new context does make it appear differently!

  -> Many thanks Julie. This is especially true in the gaming / gambling / casino industry.
neutral  Rob Grayson: I haven't yet put my hand on the best equivalent, but additional context posted by Asker makes clear it is not "payout" in this context – it's the 80% that goes back to the publisher after the online distributor has taken its 20% commission.

reinvest that 80% back into the site


Explanation:
Hello,

That 80% will be put back into the site. There's a more formal word for this, I believe (taux de reversement).

I hope this helps.

neutral  Rob Grayson: I feel you're assuming too much here. We're not told what will be done with the 80%, just that it will be "reversé".
1 hr
  -> Hi Rob. It seems like a possibility to me. But my confidance is only a 1 because I just don't have a clear enough picture of the situation. At any rate "reverser" could indeed mean "to put money back into."
