Play online from Belgium

Players like Michael started somewhere. These are the partner rooms that accept players from Belgium.

None of our partner operators currently accepts players from Belgium. We do not list any online poker room here. Belgium licenses online poker through the Gaming Commission, and an online licence must be tied to a Belgian land-based venue, which keeps most international rooms out. GGPoker names Belgium as a Restricted Jurisdiction in its own terms, so we no longer list it here. The minimum age is 21. This is general information, not legal advice.
