Editorial team and test method

Marie Lefèvre-Dubois has documented the Belgian market since 2017 and works through every operator himself with a preference for bonus terms. Works from Liège.

How we test. we open an account ourselves, stake money with Bancontact, ask for the money back and measure how long it takes. We check the operator against the Gaming Commission's white and black lists and dig through the general terms. What we could not verify does not appear.

The outbound links earn us a fee; what we write is independent of that fee. If the licence is missing, it says so, fee or no fee.

The Belgian framework around player protection is more tightly than the Netherlands or France and it is built that way on purpose. Every licensed site applies a default deposit limit of €200 per week.

The EPIS system is the regulator's central exclusion list: a single request is enough to stay out everywhere at once. Reversing it is not immediate. For casino, gaming hall and betting the bar has been 21 since September 2024; only the National Lottery stays at 18. A trial account falls under it too.
