Circus makes you aware of your gaming activity
Circus is a 100% legal and responsible provider of online casino games and sports betting that has a license from the Kansspelautoriteit (Dutch Gaming Authority) for providing online games in the Netherlands.
To prevent you from developing potentially problematic gaming behavior and experiencing the adverse consequences of this in your daily life, Circus offers you various help mechanisms:
- Test your player profile, check your spending or take a break using our responsible gaming tools
- Exclude yourself or someone else from our website using the exclusion form from the Kansspelautoriteit's Central Register of Gambling (CRUKS)
- Prevent addiction and seek help using our list of useful addresses for support with gambling addiction
At Circus, we have a proactive detection system that detects any deviance from your usual gambling behavior. When you change your habits, the system detects it automatically and gives a risk score.
Has your risk score changed? Then our team will do everything in its power to make you aware that your gaming activity has increased. You’ll receive an automatic email based on your activity. Our team will also contact you to see if you need help.
The different risk levels are the following:
At this stage, the system considers your activity to not be at risk, you can continue to play as you already are.

Your gambling activity is getting riskier. It’s important that you start moderating your activity at this point. You will be referred to our moderation tools and more specifically to the ones that are directly linked to your activity. For example, if our system notices that you tend to deposit more than you usually do, we will assess your deposit limits with you and consider lowering them for more peaceful activity. Our team will directly reach out to you to do this
If our system notices that what we put in place is not working and that your activity involves more at-risk behavior, we can decide to close your account temporarily or permanently, or refer your account to the Kansspelautoriteit to register you in CRUKS.

If necessary, we will change your limits. In a conversation with you as a player, we will also determine what a responsible limit is together.
