What is "la partage" in roulette?

[Ronny_4son]

La partage is a rule in roulette which gives the player the option to take back half of their original wager when the ball lands on the zero. This rule reduces the house edge from 2.7% to 1.35% on the even money bets, making it the most advantageous rule for the player. This rule is not available in all online casinos, but it is commonly found in European casinos.

The La Partage rule is applied when a player lays an even-money wager and the ball lands on zero as opposed to the player losing their entire wager. This regulation states that the player only loses half of their initial wager and receives their remaining half back.

Does it mean that the casino is borrowing money from the player or it just reduces further bets to not have the balance being settled to zero as I understand this is a form of lending to players as I am seeing for example.
