RTP

Return to player

RTP is the share of stakes a game pays back to players over the long run; the rest is the theoretical hold.

Formula

RTP = winnings paid ÷ stakes × 100

Example

A slot with RTP 96.0% pays back €96 of every €100 staked over time; its theoretical hold is 4.0%. (invented numbers)

In IBO

IBO works with actual GGR and hold of the month; RTP explains why hold differs between games.
