Rebate vs Cashback: What M2’s Game Rebate Actually Pays
The difference
Two Ways to Get Money Back
A rebate and a cashback both return part of what you have played, but they measure different things. A rebate is worked out on turnover — how much you stake — and pays whether you won or lost. Cashback is worked out on net losses, and only pays when a period goes badly.
At M2
How the M2 Game Rebate Works
M2’s current rebate returns up to 1% on selected slots, live casino and sports games, as instant cashback credited as you play. Because it is based on stakes, it pays on a winning session as surely as a losing one. The rate for each game, and the list of games included, sit in the promotion’s terms.
It is one of the campaigns on our promotions page.

Rebate and Cashback Side by Side
| Rebate | Cashback | |
|---|---|---|
| Worked out on | Turnover — what you stake | Net losses over a period |
| Pays when you win | Yes | No |
| Size | A small percentage of every eligible bet | A larger share, but only of losses |
| At M2 now | Up to 1%, instant | Not on the current campaign list |
The numbers
A Worked Example
Stake RM1,000 across a week on games paying the full 1% rebate, and RM10 comes back whatever the week’s result. A 1% cashback on a week that finished RM200 down would return RM2 — and nothing at all on a week that finished ahead.
The limit
What a Rebate Is Not
A rebate lowers the cost of play rather than removing it. On most games the house edge is larger than the rebate, so over time it works as a discount on what the games cost, not as income.
