711 obtains its B+ licence: coming soon to Belgium
The operator 711.be has reached a key milestone in its establishment in Belgium. The Gaming Commission (GC) has granted it a B+ licence, paving the way for a legal online dice slots offering.
A turning point for the operator
711 was recently granted a B+ licence by the GC in Belgium. This authorisation allows it to legally offer online dice slots, provided that it is linked to a physical establishment approved in the country. This marks an important step in its expansion into the Belgian gambling market. The company is now preparing to activate this segment of its digital business.
What does the B+ licence allow and what is the legal framework?
The B+ licence is an additional licence issued by the GC. It covers Class II games of chance, i.e. mainly automated games such as dice games and slot machines.
Some important conditions:
- The operator must be linked to a physical gaming venue (approved Class II establishment), i.e. a recognised land-based establishment. This link between physical and digital venues is mandatory for all B+ licences.
- The operator must comply with player protection rules (identity verification, addiction prevention, hourly loss limits, etc.). This is an integral part of Belgian gambling regulations.
The case of 711: where are we now?
The operator 711 has successfully obtained this B+ licence and is preparing to launch on the Belgian market. The 711.be file is registered as an SRL/BV (limited liability company), recently registered, which shows an established legal structure. The company is based at Jabbekestraat 22, 8490 Jabbeke.
To date, it has not yet been confirmed what the exact catalogue of games will be at launch, nor whether the site will be fully active or in a test phase. The operator appears to be in the operational preparation phase to activate this new online offering under Belgian licence.
The award of the B+ licence to 711 marks a major step forward in the development of its offering. If everything is put in place to comply with the legal framework, this could be a significant step forward for Belgian players, particularly fans of dice slots. However, the operator will have to prove that its offering can combine attractiveness, security and compliance.
