Whilst you're visiting Brussels or the pretty city of Bruges, you might want to spend some downtime gambling at one of the country's online casinos. Before you do so, and to avoid any potential disappointment, we should point out that the gambling laws in Belgium mean that your gambling options are going to be much more limited than you may be used to. For a start you're deposits and winnings are strictly limited, as are the bonuses on offer for foreign players and offshore sites are banned.

Though it's perfectly legal to gamble in Belgium, they do have some stricter laws than you might come across in other European countries. For example, you need to be over 21 years of age to either gamble online or enter a land-based casino to play. Then there's the fact that the government is determined to protect its own home-grown casino industry by blocking all foreign online casinos across the internet. The only way for them to obtain a licence is to team up with a Belgian land-based casino.
