Responsible Play

Keep it a
good evening.

Gaming is one part of a casino hotel stay, and it should stay the fun part. This page sets out the simple habits that keep it that way, and where to turn if it ever stops feeling like entertainment.

Six house rules.

These are the guidelines our own writers follow on every casino hotel visit. None of them are complicated; all of them work.

01

Decide the number first

Set an amount you are comfortable losing before you reach the floor, and treat it as the price of the evening's entertainment — not an investment.

02

Leave the cards upstairs

Take cash for the evening and leave bank cards in the room safe. A trip back to the lift is a natural moment to stop.

03

Never chase

Losses are the normal cost of playing. Trying to win them back is the single most common way a good night becomes a bad one.

04

Keep the clock

Casino floors have no windows for a reason. Set a time to leave, and keep dinner, a show or the pool on the schedule so the tables are one stop among several.

05

Play sober, play rested

Alcohol and tiredness both loosen judgement. If you have had a long day or a few drinks, make it a bar night instead.

06

Know the rules where you are

In the Netherlands the minimum age is 18 and licensed venues can register self-exclusion requests. Rules differ by country, so check before you travel.

If it stops feeling like fun

Warning signs include spending more than planned, borrowing to play, hiding play from others, or thinking about gaming when you are away from it. If any of these sound familiar, talking to someone early makes a real difference.

  • Ask casino staff about self-exclusion and limit-setting — every licensed Dutch venue offers both.
  • Speak to your GP or a counsellor; support is available through regular healthcare.
  • Look up your national gambling helpline before you travel and keep the number in your phone.
  • Tell a travelling companion your budget so someone else knows the plan.
