Editorial team and method

Sophie De Clercq has tracked the Belgian market since 2018 and works through every operator himself where support and limits always comes first. Writes from Brugge.

How we test. every test starts with a real account, stake money with Bancontact, pull the money out and time the whole route. Every operator goes past the Gaming Commission's white and black lists and go over the small print word by word. What we did not establish ourselves is not mentioned.

The outbound links earn us a fee; it has no effect on the content of the review. Whoever is not on the white list reads it here.

Player protection in numbers

The Belgian framework around player protection is more tightly than the Netherlands or France with effects you cannot route around. Every licensed site applies a default deposit limit of €200 per week.

Through EPIS the Gaming Commission runs centralised exclusion: after registration no licensed operator grants you access. The entry point is the Gaming Commission. The bar has stood at 21 since 1 September 2024, lottery aside; 18 still applies at the National Lottery alone. The check is automatic.
