Editorial team and test method

Elke Wouters has followed the Belgian gambling market since 2021 and verifies every claim where the maths behind bonuses always comes first. Writes from Leuven.

We are paid through affiliate links; that does not change what the review says. Even with a well-paying partner the verdict holds.

How we test. we open an account ourselves, make a deposit with the Bancontact app, 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. Unverified claims are left out.

On player protection, Belgium sits more tightly than the Netherlands or France with effects you cannot route around. The standard limit runs to €200 per week per site. A lower limit takes effect directly, raising it needs a check and a waiting period.

Self-exclusion in Belgium is handled centrally, through EPIS: whoever registers is barred everywhere immediately, online as well as offline. Registering costs nothing. Under-21s have been shut out of casino, hall and betting since September 2024; the National Lottery is the exception at 18. It applies online and on-site.
