Cost2Play Calculator
It’s easy to lose track of your spending when you gamble. The Cost2Play Calculator estimates how much you’ll spend on each game over time.
*Disclaimer: This calculator is for illustrative purposes only and is intended to help players understand how various gambling patterns may increase or decrease costs of play. Players should keep their own written log of time and money spent to determine if their own playing patterns are affordable. Calculations are based on historic game rules and house advantage. The house advantage changes from time to time and therefore the calculator may not be accurate. Results may vary in other jurisdictions.
Looking at the illustrative cost of play over time will help players get a practical view of the long-term costs involved in gambling. When someone gambles, it is not possible to know the cost of play in the short term (after just one or a few sessions of play) because the results can vary widely due to the randomness of the game. However, in the long run, the cost of play is more predictable and can be estimated using this calculator.
The calculator shows the potential average amount per hour, per month, and per year that players may spend under certain conditions. This cost includes all wins and losses players experience.
