What are the A+, B+ & F+ licenses?

A+ (Casino Games)

The license A is required for the operation of a casino. In Belgium, the maximum number of A licenses that can be granted at the same time is set at 9. Therefore, 9 casinos can be operated in Belgium. This has resulted in 4 casinos in Flanders (in Blankenberge, Knokke, Middelkerke and Oostende), 4 casinos in Wallonia (in Chaudfontaine, Dinant, Namen and Spa) and 1 casino in Brussels. A supplementary license A+ is required for offering casino games online. You must be at least 21 years old before you can play in a casino. It is mandatory for the clients to register themselves.

B+ (Dice Games)

A total of 180 B licenses may be issued by the Gaming Commission on Belgian territory. This type of license is required for operating a slot machine arcade. Holders of B licenses may apply for the supplementary B+ license to offer games of chance online. In common with the casinos, the minimum age for playing is 21 and it is mandatory to register.

F+ (Sports Betting)

For the organisation of wagers you need an F1 license, while for accepting bets, you need an F2 license. The supplementary license F1+ allows the license holder to organise bets via the Internet. You must be at least 21 years old before you can place a bet.
