Important update on playing casino games from May 1, 2025

14 April 2025

Starting May 1, 2025, a new requirement in the Belgian Gambling Act mandates that your identity must be verified before you can play casino games.

What’s changing exactly?

🚀 Until April 30, 2025: You can register, deposit, and play without your identity being verified. Verification will only be required when withdrawing funds.

🚀 Starting May 1, 2025: Your identity must be verified before you can play for money — even before making a deposit.
