The game catalogue
VivatBet is not bound by the Belgian restrictions and therefore shows more: slots from dozens of studios plus live tables. The flip side sits further down: no oversight, no EPIS and no statutory weekly limit.
Typically Belgian are the dice games: open The Box, Dice Attraction, Open The Pearl, the suppliers behind it — Air Dice, Gaming1 — work mainly for Belgium.
Playing legally in Belgium
VivatBet holds licence F1+117734 and therefore sits on the Belgian white list. The Belgian system allows no standalone online licence — the holder is the operator.
In practice that means age verification at signup, an EPIS link and the standard weekly limit.
From signup to first payout
Signup asks the same steps everywhere: real name, date of birth and an identity check before the first withdrawal. Usually an ID together with a document showing your address is enough. The bank account name and the player account name must match.
Bilingual customer service is part of the licence conditions. Leave the transaction mails in your inbox; that is what remains if a discussion ever arises.

Limits, age and EPIS
The Belgian legislator approaches player protection considerably more strictly than a few years ago and it is built that way on purpose. Every licence holder opens your account at €200 per week. A lower limit takes effect directly, going beyond that takes a review and time.
The Gaming Commission keeps one central exclusion register in EPIS: whoever registers is barred everywhere immediately, online as well as offline. Registering costs nothing. The bar has stood at 21 since 1 September 2024, lottery aside; the National Lottery is the exception at 18. Without valid ID you do not get through.

Short answers to recurring questions
What is the minimum age?
The minimum age is 21; since 1 September 2024 it is 21 for casino, hall and betting. The check is automatic at licensed sites. The 2024 reform aligned every form of play.
Can I have myself blocked?
By filing an EPIS request with the regulator; it applies at once across the licensed landscape. It is the strongest brake Belgium offers. Physical venues will refuse you afterwards too.
Is the bonus worth it?
A bonus is only worth something once you convert the wagering into euros. The terms usually sit at the bottom of the bonus page. Bonus money and own money are often counted separately.
Is there tax on winnings?
No — gambling winnings fall outside personal income tax. Nothing about that rule changes in 2026. Ask for advice if large amounts are involved.
May VivatBet operate in Belgium?
Yes, VivatBet is recorded in the Gaming Commission register under F1+117734. You can check this yourself in the regulator's register. The regulator keeps both lists current.
