On 24 April, the Gaming Commission carried out a further update to its official list of illegal gambling sites.

Regular updates to combat a growing problem

On 24 April, the Gaming Commission added 11 new platforms to its blacklist, confirming that unauthorised operators continue to target Belgian players.

The publication of this list is not merely for information purposes. It serves as a genuine preventive tool. By making the names of illegal sites public, the Commission aims to alert consumers to the risks involved.

For playing on an unauthorised platform is not without consequences. No guarantees on winnings, a lack of transparency, insufficient protection of personal data… The dangers are numerous.

How can you tell if a website is legitimate?

The Gaming Commission provides players with several simple guidelines. A legitimate website must hold a Belgian licence and be included on the official list of authorised operators. This information is publicly available and should be your first port of call.

However, some illegal sites mimic the appearance of legitimate platforms. They use professional designs, attractive promotions and sometimes even misleading claims. Always check the website’s URL to avoid being tricked.
