Belgium’s College of Prosecutors General says poker tournaments fall within activities that are not prioritised for prosecution if specified conditions are met. These include a maximum €50 entry fee, one re-entry of up to €50, and a daily maximum stake of €100 per player; cash games and jackpots are prohibited.
Operators must meet the stated limits and safeguards for a tournament to fall within the non-priority category.
