Editorial team and method

Sophie De Clercq has worked the Belgian gambling beat since 2021 and tries everything first-hand paying particular attention to support and limits. Writes from Brugge.

The outbound links earn us a fee; the text above does not depend on it. If the licence is missing, it says so, fee or no fee.

How we test. we create a player account ourselves, deposit via Bancontact, start a withdrawal and keep an eye on the clock. Every operator goes past the Gaming Commission's white and black lists and check what the terms actually say. Anything that could not be checked is cut at the final edit.

What the law imposes

The Belgian legislator approaches player protection more firmly than players tend to expect and you notice it at signup. Every licence holder opens your account at €200 per week.

The Gaming Commission keeps one central exclusion register in EPIS: one registration excludes you at once from every licensed operator, online and on-site. Unlicensed sites are not connected to it. Since 1 September 2024 the minimum age is 21 for casino, gaming hall and betting; scratch cards and Lotto stay at 18. The bar is statutory, not a house rule.
