Editorial team and test method

Tom Peeters has worked the Belgian gambling beat since 2018 and puts every operator to the test with dice games as a constant point of attention. Based in Antwerpen.

The outbound links earn us a fee; the text above does not depend on it. A missing licence is never left unsaid.

How we test. every test starts with a real account, carry out a real deposit, ask for the money back and measure how long it takes. White or black: we look the operator up at the Gaming Commission and go over the small print word by word.

The Belgian legislator approaches player protection notably strictly by European standards and you feel it on the first deposit. Each site automatically applies a €200 weekly ceiling. Dropping that limit is possible at any moment, raising happens neither easily nor instantly.

Self-exclusion in Belgium is handled centrally, through EPIS: whoever registers is barred everywhere immediately, online as well as offline. The request goes through the regulator itself. The age bar moved on 1 September 2024 from 18 to 21 for casino, hall and betting; for the National Lottery 18 remained the rule. A trial account falls under it too.
