The outbound links earn us a fee; that does not change what the review says. The black list is named even when it costs us.

How we test. testing starts with a real signup, stake money with Bancontact, file a withdrawal request and measure it through to the account. The licence check happens at the source, not at the operator and recalculate the wagering requirement ourselves. No claim without our own observation.

The Belgian framework around player protection is more tightly than the Netherlands or France and you feel it on the first deposit. The standard limit runs to €200 per week per site. Lowering it is immediate, raising runs through a verification and then a waiting window.

Through EPIS the Gaming Commission runs centralised exclusion: whoever registers is barred everywhere immediately, online as well as offline. The request goes through the regulator itself. The bar has stood at 21 since 1 September 2024, lottery aside; lottery products are the exception at 18. The bar is statutory, not a house rule.
