Editorial team and test method
Who writes, how we test and where the money comes from.
See the offerWho writes here
Sophie De Clercq has documented the Belgian market since 2021 and opens an account at every operator with a preference for support and limits. Writes from Brugge.
How we test. we create a player account ourselves, make a deposit with the Bancontact app, request a withdrawal and time every step. The licence check happens at the source, not at the operator and recalculate the wagering requirement ourselves. What we did not establish ourselves is not mentioned.
An affiliate fee sits on the outbound links; what we write is independent of that fee. If the licence is missing, it says so, fee or no fee.
Limits, age and EPIS
On player protection, Belgium sits notably strictly by European standards and you feel it on the first deposit. The standard limit runs to €200 per week per site.
EPIS is the Gaming Commission's central exclusion system: after registration no licensed operator grants you access. Registering costs nothing. The age bar moved on 1 September 2024 from 18 to 21 for casino, hall and betting; lottery products are the exception at 18. It applies online and on-site.
