Gaming Commission increases vigilance during summer sport events

The sports summer is almost here so the soccer boots are being laced up, the flags are being hung outside and the barbecues are being lit. There’s going to be a lot of celebration this summer with the European Soccer Championship and the Olympic Games. 

However this is also a time for the Gaming Commission (KSC) to exercise extra caution. 

What is the purpose of these control measures? 

During big sporting events the Gaming Commission anticipates a noticeable spike in gambling activity. 

This raises the possibility of illegitimate offers and gaming regulation infractions. Large-scale control measures are implemented by the Gaming Commission during the Olympic Games and the European Championships in order to safeguard players and ensure impartiality. 

What are the focal points of interest? 

It is against the law for online gambling companies to give their players bonuses or free gifts. This ban which has been in place for a while is strictly enforced during the inspection procedures. Before they can wager online each player must authenticate their identity and age. 

The Gaming Commission verifies that operators correctly follow this verification process. Advertising pertaining to gambling cannot be deceptive or targeted towards specific populations. 

Enforcement of the Advertising Rules is overseen by the Gaming Commission. The Gaming Commission takes legal action against illicit gaming operations that violate Belgian regulations. 

How will a violation be punished? 

Gaming Commission infractions are taken very seriously by them. Violators run the risk of severe consequences such as administrative penalties. The maximum fine that the Gaming Commission may levy is €100.000. 

License suspension or revocation: The Gaming Commission may suspend or revoke an operator’s license in extreme circumstances. Criminal charges may also apply in certain situations. 

The Gaming Commission demands that all operators of gaming facilities accept accountability and abide by the regulations. On the website of the Gaming Commission players can report unauthorized offers or rules violations.
