Do you want to ban someone else from gambling?
As an interested third party, you can request an access ban on a person with a gambling problem. You must always be able to demonstrate that you have a personal interest in this access ban.
This procedure is longer and more complicated than a voluntary request by the problem player himself. This is because the player must be given the opportunity to present his or her defence before the Gaming Commission (GC).
How do you request an access ban for someone else?
- Fill in this electronic form
- A completed request form will be generated automatically
- Sign this application form
- either digitally with your identity card (How does this work?)
- or handwritten - Send your signed form to the Gaming Commission via exclusion@gamingcommission.be with a copy of both sides of your identity card if you signed your application by hand.
If you cannot use this electronic form, you can use the standard application form
- Fill in this exclusion form
- Sign it
- Add a copy of both sides of your identity card
- Send it by registered mail to the Gaming Commission (Kantersteen 47, 1000 Brussels) or via exclusion@gamingcommission.be.
You will receive an acknowledgement of receipt and a summons will be sent to the person for whom you submitted your application. He or she has the opportunity to put forward arguments for or against this request for exclusion before the GC takes a decision.
An exclusion at the request of an interested third party lasts at least one year. After that period, the excluded person may request that the ban be lifted. Reasons shall be given for any such request. The interested third party shall be informed of this procedure and shall be given the opportunity to state its views.
