What the rule actually is in Belgium
Our own reading, not a summary of someone else's
Licensed by the Gaming Commission, and every online licence has to hang off a land-based one, which caps the operator count structurally. The three regions set the tax and have all landed on 11% of gross margin. Payments are tightly constrained: credit cards are banned for online gambling, and the 2025-26 rules default players to a EUR200 weekly deposit limit that can only be raised after a National Bank credit check. Enforcement today is the Commission's blacklist, which most Belgian ISPs honour; payment blocking is still at the agreement stage with the banking federation Febelfin rather than in force.

Aggregated or indirect
4The rail is reachable, but through an aggregator, a local PSP or a wallet rather than directly.
Evidence grades run from named clients through platform catalogs and industry knowledge down to a provider's own claim. A claim we could not corroborate is still shown, labelled as what it is. See our methodology.
