The Belgian online gambling market is one of the most tightly framed in Europe. A good part of what happens to you as a player depends not on the operator you chose, but on a rule written elsewhere, often years earlier.
Those rules are public. They are also poorly explained, when they are explained at all.
A comparison site will tell you there are no bonuses in Belgium. Almost none will tell you why, or what operators offer instead. That gap is what these articles fill.
What you will find here
Substantive explanations of rules that concern you directly, written from the official texts and the operators’ own documents, with the sources listed at the foot of each page.
Each article starts from a question people actually ask, and answers it even when the answer is unwelcome. That is often the case: several of these subjects exist precisely because the licensed market cannot give what is asked of it.

A+ or B+ licence: what the class changes for you
A player looks for a roulette table with a real dealer. They open three licensed Belgian sites, and on two of them they find only automated versions. That is neither a commercial choice nor an incomplete range. It is written into their licence. In Belgium, the class of authorisation determines what…

Casino with an international licence: a real licence, but not valid here
You scroll to the foot of a casino site. A licence number, the name of a regulator, sometimes a clickable seal leading to an official register. Everything looks in order. And in one sense it is. Those licences exist, they are issued by real authorities, and the number you check…

EPIS list: what it holds, and why nobody can see it
Someone types “EPIS list” on a Sunday evening. They land on pages explaining what the register is, how to sign up, what it blocks. None of them answers the question. They simply wanted to see the list. That search comes up hundreds of times a month in Belgium, in one…
What you will not find here
These articles compare nothing and recommend nobody. They rate no operator, carry no ranking and no commercial link.
That work does exist, but it lives elsewhere: in the audits I publish operator by operator, where I go through each site’s documents, and in the comparison of casinos licensed in Belgium, which ranks them by score.
The separation is deliberate. A page that explains a rule and recommends an operator in the same breath always ends up bending the rule.
How I choose the subjects
Two criteria, and the second matters more than the first.
The question is genuinely asked. I start from what people search for in Belgium, not from what strikes me as interesting. Several subjects that seemed useful to me were dropped for lack of demand.
And nobody answers it properly. If the information is already clear and accessible, one more article adds nothing. The subjects kept are those where existing pages merely announce a rule without ever drawing its practical consequences.
Every article rests on primary sources, listed and linked at the foot of the page. Where a fact comes from an operator rather than the regulator, I say so.
The detail of how I work is set out in my method.
Three years in iGaming, focused on licensed casinos in Belgium. I write every CasinAudit page myself and check each figure against an official source.
