About this editorial team
Jonas Vandenberghe has followed the Belgian gambling market since 2018 and opens an account at every operator focused mainly on payouts and KYC. Works from Gent.
An affiliate fee sits on the outbound links; what we write is independent of that fee. A missing licence is never left unsaid.
How we test. testing starts with a real signup, make a deposit with the Bancontact app, ask for the money back and measure how long it takes. We check the operator against the Gaming Commission's white and black lists and dig through the general terms. What we could not verify does not appear.
What the law imposes
The Belgian framework around player protection is above the European average in strictness with concrete consequences for your account. Every licence holder opens your account at €200 per week.
The Gaming Commission keeps one central exclusion register in EPIS: a single request is enough to stay out everywhere at once. Registering costs nothing. The bar has stood at 21 since 1 September 2024, lottery aside; lottery products are the exception at 18. The bar is statutory, not a house rule.
