Rachid Mermans has watched what is licensed in Belgium since 2020 and puts every operator to the test where licences always comes first. Lives and works in Brussel.
How we test. we walk through registration ourselves, put an amount in via Bancontact, request payout and record the turnaround. We hold the name against both of the regulator's lists and go over the small print word by word.
We are paid through affiliate links; what we write is independent of that fee. Whoever is not on the white list reads it here.
Weekly limit, age bar and exclusion
Belgium regulates player protection more firmly than players tend to expect with concrete consequences for your account. On any licensed site the weekly limit defaults to €200.
EPIS is the Gaming Commission's central exclusion system: a single request is enough to stay out everywhere at once. The request goes through the regulator itself. The bar has stood at 21 since 1 September 2024, lottery aside; 18 still applies at the National Lottery alone. It applies online and on-site.
