About this editorial team
Sophie De Clercq has written about Belgian gambling sites since 2017 and verifies every claim with support and limits as a constant point of attention. Active from Brugge.
How we test. we walk through registration ourselves, deposit via Bancontact, request payout and record the turnaround. Every operator goes past the Gaming Commission's white and black lists and compare the promise with the conditions. What we did not establish ourselves is not mentioned.
This site earns from affiliate links; what we write is independent of that fee. An operator without a Belgian licence is described as such, commission or not.
What the law imposes
Belgium regulates player protection more firmly than players tend to expect and it is built that way on purpose. The standard limit runs to €200 per week per site. Lowering it is immediate, raising happens neither easily nor instantly.
Through EPIS the Gaming Commission runs centralised exclusion: a single request is enough to stay out everywhere at once. The register is not public. Casino, gaming hall and sports betting are 21-and-over since 1 September 2024; only the National Lottery stays at 18. The check is automatic.
