Editorial team and test method
See the offerWho writes here
Inge Van Hoof has watched what is licensed in Belgium since 2018 and tests every operator personally paying particular attention to apps and payment flows. Base: Hasselt.
Our income comes from affiliate commissions; the assessment is not altered by it. An operator without a Belgian licence is described as such, commission or not.
How we test. we register like any other player, make a deposit with the Bancontact app, request payout and record the turnaround. We check the operator against the Gaming Commission's white and black lists and check what the terms actually say.
Limits, age and EPIS
Belgium regulates player protection considerably more strictly than a few years ago with concrete consequences for your account. On any licensed site the weekly limit defaults to €200.
Exclusion runs centrally through the EPIS register: the exclusion applies instantly across the whole licensed landscape. Registering costs nothing. The bar has stood at 21 since 1 September 2024, lottery aside; only the National Lottery stays at 18. It applies online and on-site.
