Many mechanisms have been proposed to explain the presence and persistence of cooperation in those systems, showing that there is no unique explanation, as different scenarios have different possible driving forces. In this paper, we propose a model to study situations in which voluntary participation involves an access cost to the cooperative interaction, besides the cost associated with cooperation. The proposed costly-access prisoner’s dilemma (PD), a symmetric donation game with voluntary and costly participation, breaks the symmetry between abstainers and participants of the voluntary PD. A mean-field approach shows that, in well-mixed populations, the dynamic always leads the system to abstention. However, depending on the return parameter, numerical simulations in structured populations display an alternating behavior between mono-strategic, multi-stable, and coexistence phases. This behavior is fully explained through a theoretical analysis of the strategic motifs, the transitions being determined by the change in stability of those motifs. 000118929 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/E36-20R$$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MCIN-AEI-FEDER/PID2020-115800GB-I00 000118929 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 000118929 590__ $$a3.3$$b2022 000118929 592__ $$a1.224$$b2022 000118929 591__ $$aPHYSICS, MULTIDISCIPLINARY$$b31 / 85 = 0.365$$c2022$$dQ2$$eT2 000118929 593__ $$aPhysics and Astronomy (miscellaneous)$$c2022$$dQ1 000118929 594__ $$a6.3$$b2022 000118929 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion 000118929 700__ $$0(orcid)0000-0002-9769-8796$$aGracia Lázaro, C. 000118929 700__ $$aDercole, F. 000118929 700__ $$aMoreno, Y. 000118929 7102_ $$12003$$2395$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
