Is there tax on winnings?

No — gambling winnings fall outside personal income tax. Ask for advice if large amounts are involved. Nothing about that rule changes in 2026.

Is Cheri Casino legal in Belgium?

No — the name is missing from the white list and shows up in the blocking register. Always verify it yourself before depositing. The regulator keeps both lists current.

Is there a deposit limit?

Yes, €200 per week per site — unless you set a lower cap yourself. Set it deliberately lower if you are unsure. A lower limit is active immediately.

How does wagering work?

A bonus is only worth something once you convert the wagering into euros. The terms usually sit at the bottom of the bonus page. Watch the maximum stake while clearing, too.

What is the minimum age?

From 21. The bar rose in September 2024, only the lottery stayed at 18. This is not a guideline but a statutory limit. A falsified age costs you the whole balance at payout.

Does Bancontact work here?

Depositing with Bancontact works; the money comes back through your bank account. The deposit shows on your account immediately. Mind the app's daily ceilings.

Paying from Belgium follows a predictable pattern: you deposit with the Bancontact card or the app, and winnings return through the bank. The rename from Payconiq to Bancontact Pay dates from March 2026. Nearly every Belgian bank card handles Bancontact, with a threshold that rarely drops under €5.

Bancontact Pay allows €1500 per payment, with €2500 as the daily limit. The money is available at once; on your account it usually appears after one to three banking days, and the operator adds its own check on top.

Opening and verifying an account

Registration looks similar at every operator: your details and a verification that precedes the payout. An ID and something that evidences your address usually suffice. Depositing under a name other than the account holder's causes delay.

Dutch or French is not guaranteed, and complaining to the Commission is not an option. Leave the transaction mails in your inbox; they are your only foothold if things go wrong.

What the law imposes

On player protection, Belgium sits more strictly than most of its neighbours which feeds straight into your play limit. Every licensed site applies a default deposit limit of €200 per week.

The EPIS system is the regulator's central exclusion list: a single request is enough to stay out everywhere at once. Unlicensed sites are not connected to it. Since 1 September 2024 the minimum age is 21 for casino, gaming hall and betting; lottery products are the exception at 18. The bar is statutory, not a house rule.
