A. We consider atomic congestion games with stochastic demands. The game captures the fact that players may end up not being able to participate. Participation happens independently and with exogenous probabilities p i ∈ [0, 1] that are common knowledge. Conversely, exclusion happens with probability 1−p i , in which case players incur no cost. We prove that this is a potential game, and that the price of anarchy parameterized by the probabilities is a nondecreasing function of p = max i p i . The worst case is attained for players with the same probabilities p i ≡ p. In the case of a ne costs we provide an analytic expression for the parameterized price of anarchy as a function of p. This function is continuous on (0, 1], it is equal to 4/3 for 0 < p ≤ 1/4, and increases towards the known atomic bound of 5/2 when p → 1. The result follows using the (λ, µ)smoothness framework and optimizing the parameters to get sharp bounds. We show that these bounds are tight and are attained on routing games with purely linear costs (i.e., without constant terms). Additionally, we derive tight bounds for the price of stability for all values of p ∈ [0, 1].
