Who writes, how we test and where the money comes from.
Pierre Gobert has worked the Belgian gambling beat since 2014 and tests every operator personally with an emphasis on land casinos. Writes from Namur.
This site earns from affiliate links; the text above does not depend on it. The black list is named even when it costs us.
How we test. we walk through registration ourselves, deposit via Bancontact, request a withdrawal and time every step. The licence check happens at the source, not at the operator and compare the promise with the conditions.

| Tax on winnings | none for the player |
| Minimum age | 21 |
| Deposit limit | €200 per week (default) |
| Self-exclusion | EPIS |
On player protection, Belgium sits considerably more strictly than a few years ago which feeds straight into your play limit. Each site automatically applies a €200 weekly ceiling.
Through EPIS the Gaming Commission runs centralised exclusion: the exclusion applies instantly across the whole licensed landscape. Reversing it is not immediate. Under-21s have been shut out of casino, hall and betting since September 2024; scratch cards and Lotto stay at 18. A trial account falls under it too.
