How the money moves holds few surprises here: the stake goes in through Bancontact, card or app, and what comes out lands on your account. Bancontact Pay is the name the Payconiq app has carried since March 2026. Nearly every Belgian bank card handles Bancontact, the floor most often being €5.
Bancontact Pay caps at €1500 per transaction and €2500 per day. Deposits land instantly; withdrawing takes as a rule one to three banking days, regardless of how fast the operator approves.
Signup, KYC and support
Signing up looks roughly the same on every site: real name, date of birth and an identity check before the first withdrawal. Keep an identity card and proof of residence ready.
Customer service rarely speaks Dutch here, and the regulator sits outside the loop. Hold on to the confirmations of every deposit; without those documents a complaint leaves you empty-handed.

Weekly limit, age bar and exclusion
Player protection in Belgium is arranged considerably more strictly than a few years ago and you feel it on the first deposit. The standard limit runs to €200 per week per site.
The EPIS system is the regulator's central exclusion list: a single request is enough to stay out everywhere at once. The entry point is the Gaming Commission. Casino, gaming hall and sports betting are 21-and-over since 1 September 2024; scratch cards and Lotto stay at 18. A trial account falls under it too.
Frequently asked questions
€200 per week per site by default. Lowering it is immediate; raising it needs a check and a delay. At unlicensed sites that protection does not exist. The ceiling counts per week, not per month.
21 — that has been the rule since the 2024 reform, National Lottery aside. The 2024 reform aligned every form of play. The rule applies online and on-site alike.
Not for the player. Belgium taxes the operator, not the winner. The operator remits the levy, not the player. This has been the Belgian rule for years.
Through the Gaming Commission's EPIS system. One registration excludes you from every licensed operator, online and on-site. The register is not publicly searchable. Unlicensed sites are not connected to it.
No, Zigzag does not appear in the Belgian licence register. You can check this yourself in the regulator's register. Anyone wanting certainty looks the name up at the Gaming Commission.
