Responsible gambling

BonusWijs.nl is about mathematics, but that mathematics has a hard edge: in the long run the casino always wins. This page explains in plain language what that means and how to keep gambling within healthy limits.

The house edge

Every casino game has a built-in house edge. We usually express this as RTP: the higher the RTP, the smaller the edge. With a slot at 96% RTP, you lose an average of 4% of everything you wager in the long run. No strategy fundamentally changes that.

Clear limits

Consider money you transfer to a casino as an entertainment budget. Set an amount in advance that you can afford to lose and stick to it strictly. Where possible, use the deposit limits that Dutch casinos offer.

CRUKS and support

Do you notice that gambling takes more energy than it gives, or that you play more often than you planned? That is a signal to take action. The Netherlands has the Central Register of Exclusion from Gambling (CRUKS): if you register, you will be excluded from all legal casinos and gaming halls.
