Gaming1: ‘This approach can stop illegal gambling in Belgium’

In an interview with SBCNews, Gaming1 spoke about illegal gambling in Belgium.

Gaming1 believes that rules for online gambling should no longer be made separately. According to them, it does not work if the government makes rules without knowing the practice.

The company sees a lot go wrong because of laws that are far removed from the player. They often lack insight into behavior and daily reality.

A joint plan works better than separate rules

According to Gaming1, there should be a consultation table. Policymakers and providers can discuss how responsible gambling can be improved.

The government knows what is legally possible. Gambling companies see what players do. Together they can come up with real solutions.

Separate decisions sometimes make the situation worse. They can weaken the legal market. That plays into the hands of the illegal providers.

Why rules without consultation do not work

Sometimes the government comes up with a measure without proper consultation. That seems logical, but does not work in practice.

A ban on advertising, for example, can lead to players ending up on illegal sites more quickly. These are easy to find and have no rules. Gaming1 wants policy to be discussed openly and honestly. Only then can measures really work.

A law that really changes something starts with consultation

The gambling market is changing rapidly. This requires smart choices. No hard bans, but good consultation and smart technology.

Working together ensures a better balance. This keeps the legal offer attractive, and players are better protected.

Responsible gambling also includes fair policy

Gaming1 does not see responsible gambling as an obligation, but as a basis. It is about safety, fun and clear rules.

By working together, rules can become fairer. That helps players and companies. It creates trust.
