Rachid Mermans has documented the Belgian market since 2022 and puts every operator to the test with licences as a constant point of attention. Base: Brussel.
How we test. we register like any other player, carry out a real deposit, file a withdrawal request and measure it through to the account. The licence check happens at the source, not at the operator and recalculate the wagering requirement ourselves.
We are paid through affiliate links; it has no effect on the content of the review. The black list is named even when it costs us.
What the law imposes
Player protection in Belgium is arranged notably strictly by European standards and it is built that way on purpose. Every licensed site applies a default deposit limit of €200 per week.
Self-exclusion in Belgium is handled centrally, through EPIS: the exclusion applies instantly across the whole licensed landscape. Registering costs nothing. For casino, gaming hall and betting the bar has been 21 since September 2024; for the National Lottery 18 remained the rule. It applies online and on-site.
