What the Gaming Commission says
BetFIRST Sports is recorded with F1+116764 in the Gaming Commission's register. The Belgian system allows no standalone online licence — the operator carries the licence.
It translates into verification at signup, EPIS and a preset weekly limit.
What the law imposes
Belgium regulates player protection more tightly than the Netherlands or France and you notice it at signup. Every licence holder opens your account at €200 per week.
The Gaming Commission keeps one central exclusion register in EPIS: one registration excludes you at once from every licensed operator, online and on-site. The entry point is the Gaming Commission. The age bar moved on 1 September 2024 from 18 to 21 for casino, hall and betting; scratch cards and Lotto stay at 18. Age is verified at registration.

Opening and verifying an account
The start is recognisable at every operator: name, date of birth and documents, before anything is paid out. An ID and something that evidences your address usually suffice. Depositing under a name other than the account holder's causes delay.
The law requires assistance in both national languages. Hold on to the confirmations of every deposit; in a conflict those are the only pieces of evidence with weight.
Belgian payment reality is simple: you deposit with the Bancontact card or the app, and you withdraw by bank transfer. Since March 2026 the Payconiq by Bancontact app is officially called Bancontact Pay.
Bancontact Pay limits to €1500 per operation and €2500 per 24 hours. The stake lands without delay; withdrawing takes as a rule one to three banking days, with the site's internal handling added to that.

Short answers to recurring questions
Not for the player. Belgium taxes the operator, not the winner. The operator remits the levy, not the player. At a foreign operator your tax position may differ.
Correct: BetFIRST Sports is licensed (F1+116764) and falls under Belgian oversight. Status can change; re-check the list if in doubt. Anyone wanting certainty looks the name up at the Gaming Commission.
€200 per week per site by default. Lowering it is immediate; raising it needs a check and a delay. The limit applies per site, not across all sites. Set it deliberately lower if you are unsure.
Bancontact is accepted almost everywhere for deposits, not for withdrawals. Keep the confirmation e-mail of every deposit. There is no route back to Bancontact — that goes via the bank.
