How we test. every test starts with a real account, stake money with Bancontact, request a withdrawal and time every step. White or black: we look the operator up at the Gaming Commission and read the bonus terms line by line. What we did not establish ourselves is not mentioned.

Belgium regulates player protection more firmly than players tend to expect and you notice it at signup. By default €200 per week per site may go in. Lowering it is immediate, raising runs through a verification and then a waiting window.

The EPIS system is the regulator's central exclusion list: the block covers every licence holder in the country. Unlicensed sites are not connected to it. The age bar moved on 1 September 2024 from 18 to 21 for casino, hall and betting; 18 still applies at the National Lottery alone. Age is verified at registration.
