On 1/03/2024, the "Law modifying the Gambling Act of 7/05/1999 on games of chance, betting, gaming establishments and the protection of players" was published in the Belgian Official Gazette. This law will enter into force on 01/09/2024.
It provides for several measures:
- prohibition of devices "3.3"
- ban on cumulation of online licences on the same website
- ban on gifts/bonuses/free games
- ban in principle on advertising games of chance
- age limit of 21 years and refund in case of no control
Among other things, we draw the attention of licence holders E to the adjustments required for bingo and reduced-stakes gaming devices operated in Class III gaming establishments, so that the necessary adjustments to these devices can be implemented in a timely manner.
