Legal sites must hold a licence from the **Belgian Gaming Commission (BGC)**.
Always look for the official BGC quality mark in the footer.
If the brand is not on the official white-list, it is illegal.

You have **no protection**. Illegal operators can:
- refuse your payouts
- freeze or close your account without reason
- misuse or sell your personal data
Belgian law also **prohibits playing on illegal sites**, which may result in administrative fines.

**No.** Bonuses are banned in Belgium for a reason.
Illegal sites often use *Welcome Bonuses* or *Cashbacks* as traps with unfair wagering rules that make withdrawing your money nearly impossible.

Search engines index everything — including illegal gambling sites.
A high Google ranking does **not** mean a site is safe or legal.
Always verify the licence yourself **before depositing money**.
**Stop playing immediately.**
Do not deposit more funds.
Try to withdraw your balance, but be aware that the **BGC cannot help** if the operator refuses to pay.
We also recommend blocking gambling transactions via your banking app.
The most important step is to **stop**.
Close your account on the illegal site and switch to a licensed operator like Napoleon, where your rights are protected.
