If you want to offer an online casino using a live dealer in Belgium, that dealer better be in Belgium.
Belgian gaming regulators have announced that all live-dealer casinos must be based within the country’s borders. The Belgian Gaming Commission says it will begin enforcing an existing law banning all live-dealer casinos that originate abroad.
Regulators are now requiring Belgian-licensed operators currently offering an online live dealer option to make their identities known to the BGC, which will then hold a meeting next month to review the operations.
Live-dealer games not originating from Belgium can choose to either switch to a local live dealer supplier or stop accepting live dealer wagers from Belgian gamblers.
The commission also announced that it is working to “clearly define the procedure for new games” to protect against the “exploitation of online slot games by a B-licensee.” (B-licenses cover online gaming arcades.) Operators who have doubts as to the legitimacy of a new game can submit the game for inspection.
