risk criterion
Explanation:
From your added explanation, it sounds like there must be an element of risk. 'Kans op voordeel of kans op nadeel' spells uncertain outcome, i.e. risk.

Keeping to a more literal translation, you could always opt for 'chance criterion'. Along with the explanation provided below ("Financial supervision legislation dictates that there must be a chance of benefit or a chance of loss"), the meaning becomes clear.
