Sophie De Clercq has watched what is licensed in Belgium since 2016 and works through every operator himself with a preference for support and limits. Base: Brugge.
The outbound links earn us a fee; what we write is independent of that fee. The black list is named even when it costs us.
How we test. every test starts with a real account, start with a deposit of our own money, file a withdrawal request and measure it through to the account. White or black: we look the operator up at the Gaming Commission and go over the small print word by word.

Limits, age and EPIS
Player protection in Belgium is arranged notably strictly by European standards and you notice it at signup. By default €200 per week per site may go in. Reducing it needs no waiting time, adjusting upwards follows a check and a term.
Exclusion runs centrally through the EPIS register: after registration no licensed operator grants you access. Reversing it is not immediate. Since 1 September 2024 the minimum age is 21 for casino, gaming hall and betting; 18 still applies at the National Lottery alone. The check is automatic.
