Belgian Gaming Commission study finds 28% of gamblers used unlicensed sites
Belgium’s Gaming Commission commissioned a survey of 1,001 residents aged 18 to 30, conducted from 17 to 30 April 2025, to assess gambling awareness and behaviour after legal changes. The study found that 28% of respondents who gambled had used unlicensed websites, while 84% had used regulated sites; 19% used both.
The findings give regulators and licensed operators evidence on young adults’ continued use of unlicensed gambling websites.
