Belgium’s Gaming Commission said it will assess potential breaches of the 27 February 2023 advertising decree on a case-by-case basis, after hearing from the operators concerned. It said a Tournai court barred sanctions against the claimants for displaying a brand or logo without promoting gambling, subject to a €5,000 penalty per breach; the order remains in effect until a higher court or merits judge rules on their challenge.
Operators face case-specific scrutiny of advertising, while the court order limits sanctions for certain brand and logo displays.
