How to organise your own game of chance?

Do you want to organise a game where money or prizes can be won? And the player cannot influence whether or not he wins something? This is a game of chance. Read this article to find out what the conditions are.

You need a licence for gambling. Except if you play with people who know each other. Or if participation is free, but then there are conditions.

Organising a lottery

Do you want to organise a lottery where you charge money for the tickets? You can apply for a permit if your lottery is intended for a general interest. An individual or commercial purpose is not allowed.

Organising a bingo

Do you want to organise a bingo? There are rules for this and you must report this to your municipality. An online bingo is only allowed in a closed circle like an existing group of people who know each other, a company or members of an association.

Free game of chance with prizes

Do you want to organise a game of chance where prizes can be won and participation is free? In that case we call it a promotional game of chance. You do not need a licence for this.

Organising football betting/pool

You may organise a football pool or tour pool with colleagues as long as the pool remains in a private circle. Even in a company with several branches it is still allowed, as long as the pool is for employees only. For a public bet where you earn money, a licence is required.
