Who writes here

Pierre Gobert has written about Belgian gambling sites since 2022 and opens an account at every operator paying particular attention to land casinos. Lives and works in Namur.

How we test. we create a player account ourselves, put an amount in via Bancontact, file a withdrawal request and measure it through to the account. Licence status is verified directly with the Gaming Commission and go over the small print word by word.

The site runs on affiliate income; the assessment is not altered by it. The black list is named even when it costs us.

Player protection in numbers

The Belgian framework around player protection is notably strictly by European standards which feeds straight into your play limit. The standard limit runs to €200 per week per site. A lower limit takes effect directly, raising happens neither easily nor instantly.

Exclusion runs centrally through the EPIS register: whoever registers is barred everywhere immediately, online as well as offline. Registering costs nothing. Casino, gaming hall and sports betting are 21-and-over since 1 September 2024; the National Lottery is the exception at 18. It applies online and on-site.
