The game catalogue
Orient Express Casino operates outside the Belgian licensing system and therefore shows a wider catalogue than a B+ hall may: thousands of slots, live dealers and newer formats. Without a licence, EPIS and the statutory deposit limit go too.
The Belgian format revolves around dice games: open The Safe, Gold Spinner, Dice Attraction, it is a format that runs almost nowhere else.

Lowering the weekly limit worked right away, which I appreciated.
Player protection in numbers
On player protection, Belgium sits more tightly than the Netherlands or France and you feel it on the first deposit. Every licensed site applies a default deposit limit of €200 per week. Downwards it goes without an intermediate step, raising runs through a verification and then a waiting window.
Self-exclusion in Belgium is handled centrally, through EPIS: the block covers every licence holder in the country. Reversing it is not immediate. Casino, gaming hall and sports betting are 21-and-over since 1 September 2024; only the National Lottery stays at 18. Without valid ID you do not get through.
What players ask us
21 — that has been the rule since the 2024 reform, National Lottery aside. This is not a guideline but a statutory limit. The 2024 reform aligned every form of play.
The statutory standard is €200 per week. Going down is always allowed, going up is not. Set it deliberately lower if you are unsure. A lower limit is active immediately.
Through the Gaming Commission's EPIS system. One registration excludes you from every licensed operator, online and on-site. Registration runs through the Gaming Commission. The register is not publicly searchable.
No. Orient Express Casino holds no Belgian licence and appears on the Gaming Commission's black list. Anyone wanting certainty looks the name up at the Gaming Commission. Status can change; re-check the list if in doubt.
Look at the wagering requirement, the max cashout and the validity window — that is where it bites. Bonus money and own money are often counted separately. Check whether your game counts before you start.
