Pierre Gobert has written about Belgian gambling sites since 2016 and puts every operator to the test with an emphasis on land casinos. Writes from Namur.
This site earns from affiliate links; that does not change what the review says. A missing licence is never left unsaid.
How we test. testing starts with a real signup, put an amount in via Bancontact, ask for the money back and measure how long it takes. White or black: we look the operator up at the Gaming Commission and compare the promise with the conditions.

Limits, age and EPIS
Player protection in Belgium is arranged considerably more strictly than a few years ago and you feel it on the first deposit. On any licensed site the weekly limit defaults to €200. Reducing it needs no waiting time, upwards, a review and a delay apply.
Exclusion runs centrally through the EPIS register: the block covers every licence holder in the country. The register is not public. For casino, gaming hall and betting the bar has been 21 since September 2024; only the National Lottery stays at 18. It applies online and on-site.
