Belgium authorises IP blocking against unlicensed gambling sites

Enforcement & compliance

Belgium’s Kansspelcommissie can impose IP-blocking measures against unlicensed gambling operators under a cooperation agreement with DNS Belgium. The regulator will identify sites it considers illegal; if a domain holder does not comply voluntarily after notification, DNS Belgium can take control of the domain and redirect visitors to a warning page in Dutch and French.

Operators using Belgian domains without a licence could lose control of those domains and have visitors redirected to a regulator warning.
