Elke Wouters has followed the Belgian gambling market since 2020 and works through every operator himself with an emphasis on the maths behind bonuses. Based in Leuven.
How we test. we register like any other player, put an amount in via Bancontact, file a withdrawal request and measure it through to the account. Every operator goes past the Gaming Commission's white and black lists and read the bonus terms line by line. Unverified claims are left out.
This site earns from affiliate links; it has no effect on the content of the review. The black list is named even when it costs us.
What the law imposes
The rules on player protection here run notably strictly by European standards and you feel it on the first deposit. 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 entry point is the Gaming Commission. The bar has stood at 21 since 1 September 2024, lottery aside; 18 still applies at the National Lottery alone. The check is automatic.
