Key facts

| Oversight | Belgian Gaming Commission |

From signup to first payout
Opening an account varies little: your details and a verification that precedes the payout. An ID document and an address document will be requested. Make sure account holder and player are the same person.
Expect English-language support with no Belgian complaint channel. Set the transaction e-mails aside; that is what remains if a discussion ever arises.
Is this legal in Belgium?
Pelican Casino is missing from the Belgian white list. The domain pelicancasino appears on the black list, which now holds more than 900 addresses.
Neither EPIS nor the statutory weekly limit applies here. If you still play here, set a ceiling yourself.

What the law imposes
Player protection in Belgium is arranged above the European average in strictness with effects you cannot route around. Each site automatically applies a €200 weekly ceiling. Downwards it goes without an intermediate step, going beyond that takes a review and time.
EPIS is the Gaming Commission's central exclusion system: after registration no licensed operator grants you access. Unlicensed sites are not connected to it. For casino, gaming hall and betting the bar has been 21 since September 2024; for the National Lottery 18 remained the rule. The bar is statutory, not a house rule.

See the offerPlayer questions
- What should I watch in the bonus?
Always work the wagering through: 35x on a €50 bonus means €1,750 of turnover before a payout. The terms usually sit at the bottom of the bonus page. Bonus money and own money are often counted separately.
- Which payment method is best?
Yes, by card or app. The payout then runs by bank transfer. Turnaround depends mostly on the operator, not on Bancontact. A different name on the account blocks the payout.
- Is there tax on winnings?
Not for the player. Belgium taxes the operator, not the winner. No declaration is therefore needed. Ask for advice if large amounts are involved.
- May Pelican Casino operate in Belgium?
No — the name is missing from the white list and shows up in the blocking register. You can check this yourself in the regulator's register. The list is public on gamingcommission.be.
