🔥 The 90% Gambling Rule: How It Works in 2026
Leon Casino operates under the 90% payout rule—a fundamental principle of fair gaming. This regulation ensures that over any 12-month period, at least 90% of total wagered funds are returned to players as winnings:
Example Calculation:
If total player wagers = $1,000,000 NZD
Minimum payout requirement = $900,000 NZD (90%)
Leon Casino operating margin = $100,000 NZD (10%)
This means Leon Casino retains maximum 10% as operational costs and profit. This ratio proves our fair gaming commitment and protects New Zealand players from predatory odds. The 90% rule applies to each game category independently and is verified by independent auditors quarterly.
90% Rule Transparency
- Monthly payout reports available on request for verified players
- Annual audits by third-party gaming authorities
- Real-time RTP (Return to Player) percentages displayed for each game
- Verification: no individual games have RTP below 85% as of 2026
- Sports betting operates under different regulations but maintains minimum 88% payout
