The Belgian market remains mature and highly regulated: KSC provides a high level of sewerage to the licensed segment, and the tax base is built around GGR and licensing fees.
The online segment is growing due to mobile traffic and live products, but the pace is constrained by advertising restrictions and the 21 + age threshold.
The ecosystem creates direct jobs for operators and providers (IT, risk/AML, support) and indirect jobs in marketing, payment infrastructure and casino events.
Bancontact/Payconiq cashless solutions accelerate turnover and reduce cache costs.
Strict compliance (EPIS, limits, reality checks) increases trust and LTV, and at the industry level, trends towards consolidation, operational efficiency and transparent reporting are increasing.
