Editorial team and test method

Marie Lefèvre-Dubois has tracked the Belgian market since 2016 and tries everything first-hand with a preference for bonus terms. Writes from Liège.

How we test. we open an account ourselves, carry out a real deposit, start a withdrawal and keep an eye on the clock. The licence check happens at the source, not at the operator and check what the terms actually say. What we have not seen ourselves, we do not write.

An affiliate fee sits on the outbound links; what we write is independent of that fee. A missing licence is never left unsaid.

The rules on player protection here run considerably more strictly than a few years ago which feeds straight into your play limit. The standard limit runs to €200 per week per site. Reducing it needs no waiting time, raising happens neither easily nor instantly.

The Gaming Commission keeps one central exclusion register in EPIS: the exclusion applies instantly across the whole licensed landscape. Reversing it is not immediate. Since 1 September 2024 the minimum age is 21 for casino, gaming hall and betting; lottery products are the exception at 18. The check is automatic.
