New legislation as of October 1, 2024
Starting October 1, 2024, new rules will apply to all providers of online gambling in the Netherlands, established by the Dutch Gambling Authority (KSA) and the Ministry of Justice and Security regarding responsible gaming. The aim is to protect all players from potential financial or addiction risks and to ensure that everyone can enjoy online gambling safe and responsibly.
Please read the following information carefully to get acquainted with the new rules and the measures you can take to get the most out of your gaming experience.
Starting October 1, the Regulation on Play Limits and Conscious Play Behavior will come into effect. It’s a bit of a complicated story, but we’ve summarized the most important things for you, so you can continue playing responsibly and enjoyably at Circus.nl.
Recreational Budget:
- For players aged 24 and older, the new standard net deposit limit is €700 per month. This is the difference between your deposits and withdrawals in a calendar month. We refer to this amount as your "Recreational Budget."
- Your Recreational Budget can never exceed 30% of your monthly net income, and you can lower it at any time. If you want to increase your Recreational Budget, you’ll need to provide proof of income. You can do this by contacting our customer service team.
- The Recreational Budget is based on a calendar month, meaning your budget is reset every month, regardless of how much you deposited or withdrew in the previous month.
Monthly Deposit Limit:
- In addition to your Recreational Budget, your set total deposit limit will still apply. The deposit limit is the total sum of all deposits you’ve made.
Session limits
- A session limit determines the maximum number of hours you can stay logged in, this is set on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. Once you reach your session limit, you will automatically receive a 30-day cool-off period during which you will be blocked from bonuses.
Ready, bet, go!
From this day on, you’ll start noticing some changes on our platform. For instance, you’ll receive pop-ups more frequently to help you stay within your self-set budget. We’ll also be more proactive in reminding you about your Recreational Budget and will contact players more actively when we notice potentially risky playing behavior.
Adjust your monthly deposit limit to your preference and upload your proof of income to increase your Recreational Budget (if desired). You can do this by contacting our customer service team.
