Default deposit limit in Belgium: what you need to know

Since 20 October 2022, Belgian gambling legislation has imposed a default weekly deposit limit of €200 on all players registered with a legal online casino in Belgium. This measure aims to strengthen player protection and promote responsible online gambling.

If you wish to deactivate this default limit and set your own weekly deposit limit, you can submit a request directly through your player account. This can be done via the Deposit section or through your account settings.

Once the request has been submitted, a mandatory 72-hour waiting period applies. After this period, the change is automatically implemented, provided that no legal restrictions apply.

Please note that if you are registered as in default of payment with the Central Credit Register, the weekly €200 deposit limit remains mandatory and cannot be modified. This rule is imposed by Belgian regulation and applies to all licensed online casinos.

Gambling should always remain a form of entertainment. Setting limits that suit your personal situation helps you stay in control and avoid risky behaviour. Playing responsibly is essential to ensure that the experience remains a controlled pleasure within a legal and secure framework.

Frequently Asked Questions

My default deposit limit has been changed, but deposits are still blocked. What is happening?

Even after the default limit has been adjusted, other personal limits may still apply. The system takes all active limits on your account into account. If one of these limits has been reached, deposits will be temporarily blocked.

Why can a request to increase the deposit limit be refused?

In certain situations, Belgian regulations require a strict limit to remain in place. This applies in particular when a player is identified as in default of payment with the Central Credit Register. This information is managed by the National Bank of Belgium and automatically results in the refusal of any deposit limit increase.

Why are deposit limits important?

Deposit limits are one of the key tools for responsible gambling. They help control spending, prevent excesses and maintain a healthy relationship with online gambling. Gambling should always remain a conscious choice and a controlled form of entertainment, within a secure and transparent framework.
