Belgian Gaming Commission clarifies scope of Article 60 player-benefit ban
Source: Kansspelcommissie (Belgium)
Belgium’s Gaming Commission said Article 60 prohibits licensees from offering certain free or below-market benefits intended to influence, recruit or retain players. It clarified that game rewards can remain permissible when they are inherent to participation and set out in the game rules, but said the commission retains authority to assess possible breaches in individual cases.
The clarification distinguishes permitted game-based rewards from benefits that may breach Belgium’s restrictions on player inducements.
