Editorial team and test method

Pierre Gobert has documented the Belgian market since 2016 and opens an account at every operator with a preference for land casinos. Writes from Namur.

The site runs on affiliate income; the text above does not depend on it. If the licence is missing, it says so, fee or no fee.

How we test. we register like any other player, start with a deposit of our own money, request a withdrawal and time every step. The licence check happens at the source, not at the operator and compare the promise with the conditions.

The rules on player protection here run more tightly than the Netherlands or France and you notice it at signup. By default €200 per week per site may go in. Lowering it is immediate, raising happens neither easily nor instantly.

The Gaming Commission keeps one central exclusion register in EPIS: one registration excludes you at once from every licensed operator, online and on-site. Reversing it is not immediate. For casino, gaming hall and betting the bar has been 21 since September 2024; scratch cards and Lotto stay at 18. Without valid ID you do not get through.
