Definition from
own experience or research:

Note from asker:
| It is impossible to be sure without more context on the structure of the betting site. However, the source text refers to roll over of a bonus. This means something like the transfer of a bonus to another game. "In lotteries and similar games, if a jackpot rolls over, it is not won by anyone and the money is added to the prize money for the next lottery." https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/roll-over |
| We need to know what it says before this. |
| There is no text before it. This is the whole paragraph: If a customer transfers funds to the casino before the bonus amount has been rolled over in full, the bonus and associated winnings will be forfeited. The bonus is available for only one account per person, household, computer or IP address. If a customer is suspected of violating the rules, {company} will cancel the bonus. |
| So this is the first paragraph of the document? Does it talk about the bonus without explaining what a bonus is? |
| https://www.translatorscafe.com/cafe/job281384.htm |
| Yes, this is a test. They have copied and pasted some paragraphs. It doesn’t explain what a bonus is. |
| This is a translation test. They have copied and pasted different paragraphs from different places. This is one of the paragraphs. |
| Thanks. It doesn’t make sense. The rest of the text says the amount will be fortified. Logically, if you reach the rollover, the bonus should be paid to you, not fortified. |
| The Witcher 4 is an upcoming open-world video game being developed by CD Projekt RED, who are known for their previous bestselling titles: The Witcher 2, The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 or the witcher 4 when should we expect https://superheroera.com/the-witcher-4-when-should-we-expect/ It is scheduled to be launched on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC sometime in 2021. |

pārsteigumdarbība
Definition from
own experience or research:
Pārsteigumdarbības parasti sarunā noteikts cilvēku loks, lai par tām nezinātu plašāka sabiedrība.
Example sentences:
Pārsteigumdarbības parasti sarunā nevienam nezinot. Tikai tā tas var būt pārsteigums. Bet pie mums un Ķīnā to joprojām neizprot, izziņojot par plānotajām pārsteigumdarbībām pārāk plašam lokam. (Gay.lv)
Šodien cilvēki bija pulcējušies, lai ar pārsteigumdarbību vērstu pārējo, bet galvenokārt Saeimas deputātu, uzmanību notiekošajam ar Latvijas Radio naudas lietām. (TVNET)

pūļa zibsnis
Definition from
own experience or research:
Zibenīga akcija, kuras laikā savstarpēji nepazīstami cilvēki sanāk kopā, lai ar noteiktu rīcību paustu savu viedokli kādā jautājumā.
Example sentences:
Kas vēl ir raksturīgs īstam flashmob, bet nekādi ne „latviešu variantā” – šim pūļa zibsnim jābeidzas tikpat pēkšņi, kā tas ir sācies. (MIX Interneta žurnāls)
